Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you will have heard Ariana Grande’s new song about all her ex-boyfriends. Here’s an orchestral transcription – and it’s really quite sweet.

Ariana’s new song has pretty limited instrumentation, leaving the listener to focus instead on the surprisingly wholesome, grateful lyrics about her break-ups.

But one musician has scrapped the synth and percussive pop beats in favour of a symphony orchestra.

Let’s take a minute to appreciate how incredible Ariana Grande’s voice is >

Ariana’s breathy vocals are replaced by a solo flute followed by a few violins, while the percussion section is dominated by a subtle marching drum. It makes quite a pretty orchestral interlude.
