Quit (feat. Cashmere Cat)

Ariana Grande's 'Quit,' featuring Cashmere Cat, delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship that the singer finds herself unable to leave. The lyrics express a conflict between the advice of others and the singer's own desires. Friends warn her about the suffocating nature of the relationship, urging her to avoid contact with her lover. Despite this, Grande is drawn to the person, describing the relationship as both her heaven and her hell, indicating the intense duality of her emotions.

The chorus, 'I can't quit you,' is a powerful admission of Grande's attachment and inability to let go, even though she acknowledges that she will likely regret staying in this relationship. The song captures the addictive quality of a love that is both passionate and damaging. The verses describe a desire to escape pain through physical intimacy, suggesting a cycle of seeking temporary relief from the emotional turmoil the relationship causes.

Grande's vocal delivery and the atmospheric production by Cashmere Cat complement the song's theme, creating a sense of longing and entrapment. The song resonates with listeners who have experienced the struggle of being in a relationship that they know is bad for them but feel too emotionally invested to leave. 'Quit' is a candid reflection on the difficulty of breaking free from a toxic love, highlighting the internal battle between logic and emotion.
