Ariana Grande ends her album Positions with "POV," a song that lyrically touches on how finding new love with her boyfriend Dalton Gomez has changed the way she sees herself for the better. Grande has purposely kept their relationship more private; Positions as a whole has given the most detailed look yet at their life together, the happiness they've found, and how Gomez has helped Grande heal.

On Instagram earlier this year, Grande explained why she wasn't sharing as much about her personal life. "Sharing special, personal life things that make u happy on the internet can be truly traumatic," Grande wrote in April. "I know I’ve taken a step back from doing so to protect my loved ones and myself."

Grande would later share a little more about Gomez, posting a birthday tribute to him in August. "hbd to my baby my best friend my fav part of all the days :) i love u," she wrote.

In "POV," Grande touches on how deeply Gomez understands her and loves her: "You know me better than I do/Can't seem to keep nothing from you/How you touch my soul from the outside," she sings in one verse. In the chorus, she poignantly adds, "I wanna love me (Ooh)/The way that you love me (Ooh)/Ooh, for all of my pretty/And all of my ugly too/I'd love to see me from your point of view/I wanna trust me (Trust me)/The way that you trust me (Trust me)/Ooh, 'cause nobody ever loved me like you do/I'd love to see me from your point of view." Throughout the rest of the song, she touches on her insecurities, her initial fear loving again, and how Gomez has helped her get through it.

Verse 1
It's like you got superpowers
Turn my minutes into hours
You got more than 20/20, babe
Made of glass the way you see through me
You know me better than I do
Can't seem to keep nothing from you
How you touch my soul from the outside
Permeate my ego and my pride

Chorus

I wanna love me (Ooh)
The way that you love me (Ooh)
Ooh, for all of my pretty
And all of my ugly too
I'd love to see me from your point of view
I wanna trust me (Trust me)
The way that you trust me (Trust me)
Ooh, 'cause nobody ever loved me like you do
I'd love to see me from your point of view

Verse 2

I'm gеtting used to receiving
Still gеtting good at not leaving
I'ma love you even though I'm scared (Oh, scared)
Learnin' to be grateful for myself (Oh, oh, oh)
You love my lips 'cause they say the
Things we've always been afraid of
I can feel it startin' to subside
Learnin' to believe in what is mine

Chorus
I wanna love me (Ooh)
The way that you love me (Ooh)
Ooh, for all of my pretty
And all of my ugly too
I'd love to see me from your point of view
I wanna trust me (Trust me)
The way that you trust me (Trust me)
Ooh, 'cause nobody ever loved me like you do
I'd love to see me from your point of view

Bridge

I couldn't believe it or see it for myself
Boy, I be impatient, but now I'm out here
Fallin', fallin', frozen, slowly
Fallin', got me right
I won't keep you waitin' (Waitin')
All my baggage fadin' safely (My baggage fadin')
And if my eyes deceive me
Won't let them stray too far away

Chorus

I wanna love me (Ooh)
The way that you love me (Ooh)
Ooh, for all of my pretty
And all of my ugly too
I'd love to see me from your point of view
I wanna trust me, ooh (Trust me)
The way that you trust me, baby (Trust me)
'Cause nobody ever loved me like you do
I'd love to see me from your point of view (Oh)
Yeah
