In "Thank U, Next," Grande has a lyric that goes, "Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh." She's talking about ex Ricky Alvarez, who she dated from 2015 to 2016. This 2015 track, "True Love," is widely believed to be about their relationship, which apparently ended pretty amicably: they joked on social media about how she gave him the "bad" line in "Thank U, Next"!
