Background

The album is inspired by Grande's journey through sobriety and his quest to find clarity, healing, and joy again, both during and after the process. [5] He revealed that the terrorist attack at his sister Ariana Grande's concert in 2017, his inability to support his family after the events due to his addiction, and the homophobic comments he faced on social media during his appearance on Big Brother in 2014, [6] [7] all contributed to his deeper spiral into addiction, ultimately leading him to hit rock bottom. [8] In an interview with Sabrina Shahryar of Crucial Rhythm, Grande revealed that the hotel is real and located in London, where he made the decision to enter rehab. [9] [10] [11] [12]

"It’s where I locked myself after the One Love Manchester concert. It was definitely one of the darkest and worst moments in my whole life. (...) Hotel Rock Bottom truly is about my rock bottom moment where I made the decision to leave, check out and get sober. So it's a real place."
