Songfacts®:

  • One Direction's Harry Styles wrote this specifically for Grande after a chance meeting at a recording studio. Speaking during her MTV special, Total Ariana Live, the "Problem" singer recalled: "He was just visiting the studio and (producers) Savan (Kotecha) and Johan (Carlsson) were like 'Hey do you wanna write a song for Ariana?' and he was like 'Oh sure!'"

    "He went into the other room and they were writing for a while and I remember when I heard it I was like 'Wow that's a really strong verse, that's really beautiful' and then the pre, I was like 'wow that's a really beautiful pre, that's a really strong pre!' and then the chorus I was like crying! So it's great. I'm really excited, obviously for his fans to hear it as well 'cause they were very excited when they heard (about it)."
  • Harry Styles told Digital Spy that he likes writing from a different perspective, adding, "it's fun to write a song as a girl."
