Side To Side

“Side to Side” is a reggae-infused track about pursuing a love interest regardless of what your friends think, or how they feel. Ariana is aware that this man may not be good for her, but she brushes this aside. “Walkin' side to side” is about the sore waddle that follows sex sometimes. It happens! The song was released as part of Ariana’s Dangerous Woman 10-day countdown on Instagram and premiered on Apple’s Beats 1 Radio. Featuring rapper Nicki Minaj, “Side to Side” marks Grande’s and Minaj’s third time collaborating. Their first was on Jessie J’s “ Bang Bang” and second on Minaj’s own “ Get On Your Knees.”
