Pharrell Williams 'forced' Ariana Grande to write about bombing
- 6 years ago
Pharrell Williams "forced" Ariana Grande to write about the Manchester terror attack.
The 25-year-old singer was left devastated last May when a suicide bomber unleashed an explosion shortly after her concert at the Manchester Arena but, although her anxiety was through the roof afterwards, the 'Happy' hitmaker encouraged her to pen 'Get Well Soon' as a tribute to the victims.
Speaking to Paper magazine, she said:"[Pharrell] was like, 'You have to write about it. You need to make this into music and get this sh*t out, and I promise it will heal you.' And it definitely helped."
Ariana's new album 'Sweetener' also features a love song she penned for her fiance Pete Davidson, whom she got engaged to in June after a few weeks of dating, and she has admitted she wrote the track just a week after they started getting to know one another.
