Let’s be honest: there is nothing quite like the thrilling, nostalgic rush of hitting up an old flame. And right now, Ariana Grande is proving that sometimes, the best text you can send is one to someone who already knows exactly what you like.

The internet is absolutely losing its mind over the massive hints Ariana has been dropping on her Eternal Sunshine tour. During her recent set at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, she gave her 2018 anthem “Thank U, Next” a scandalous face-lift. Instead of singing the classic line, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh,” she smirked and changed it to: “Wrote some songs about Ricky / We always find our way back.”

Oh, it gets hotter. Fans also spotted Ariana and her former backup dancer turned lover, Ricky Alvarez, doing a low-key, nostalgic grocery run in Boca Raton over the Fourth of July weekend, mirroring the exact vibes of their initial 2015 romance. Ricky has reportedly been a constant fixture in her VIP section all summer long. Fresh off her split from Ethan Slater, Ariana seems to be finding comfort—and plenty of heat—in a very familiar place. 

There’s a unique kind of fun in circling back to an ex. The awkward small talk is already out the window. You already know their favorite spots, what turns them on, and exactly how they operate. You get all the electricity of a new hookup, but with the comfortable, zero-pressure confidence of a sequel. When life gets chaotic, slipping back into the sheets with someone from your past is the ultimate life hack for a good time. Ariana and Ricky are taking things slow, keeping it casual, and letting the chemistry do the talking.

What about you? Reading about Ari’s trip down memory lane probably has you thinking about that one person who always knew how to push your buttons just right.
