Songfacts®:

  • This soothing song finds Ariana Grande reassuring someone going through a hard time:

    Midnight shadows
    When finding love is a battle
    But daylight, is so close
    So don't you worry 'bout a thing


    Ariana assures the person that she is addressing everything is going to be alright.
  • Ariana Grande first released two separate snippets of the song on her Snapchat account on June 17, 2015. She then premiered the entire tune when she hosted Saturday Night Live on March 12, 2016. The track was released six days later.
  • The song's laid-back instrumentation rides on a warm and sunny groove. The tune was produced by the Australian record producing and song-writing duo Twice As Nice, whose other credits include Tiesto's "Wasted" and Rihanna's "Needed Me."
