In the first verse, Grande sings: “I know you hear me when I cry / I try to hold it in at night / While you’re sleepin’ next to me”.
There are also several other lyrical references in ‘Ghostin’ that seem to suggest Grande is referencing both Davidson and Miller. The lyrics in question from ‘Cinderella’ are “You in my dreams, that’s why I sleep all the time”, while on ‘Ghostin’, Ariana sings: “He just comes to visit me / When I’m dreaming every now and then”. There are also similarities in the lyrics between ‘Ghostin’ and Miller’s 2016 song ‘Cinderella’, which Mac penned about Ariana. Although it’s not known whether it’s a direct sample, fans have suggested that the backing for ‘Ghostin’ features a slowed-down version of the ‘2009’ intro. It has been noted how there are similarities between the instrumental of ‘Ghostin’ and Miller’s track ‘2009’ from his 2018 album ‘ Swimming’, the last album he recorded before passing away.
