Ordinary Things ends with Nonna's wisdom: “Never go to bed without kissin’ goodnight,' ' she shares, also credited as a co-writer, reflecting on her late husband, Frank. She advises, “And if you don’t feel comfortable doing it, you’re in the wrong place – get out.”
"I always record my Nonna because you never know what she’ll say," Grammy Award winner Ariana Grande told Apple Music 1's Zane Lowe on March 7. “I had this 30-minute voice note of her and her friend Shirley talking."
The much-appreciated pop star Ariana Grande closes the track and Eternal Sunshine with a laugh following a soundbite. She explained to Lowe, "I think it’s a little bit of, Wow, our loved ones, our friends, and our family can instantly just sort of soothe and calm and simplify things that are so complicated and heavy at times.”
