[2] Grande announced three track titles on February 7, 2024; "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" was revealed as the tenth track of the album. [3] Also in February, the singer announced that there would be no more pre-release singles from Eternal Sunshine, as she wanted her fans to "experience it in full this time". However, she confirmed "more singles" would be issued after the album was released. [4]

On March 1, Grande confirmed "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" was the second single from the album and posted a teaser for its music video on social media. [5] In the clip, Grande sits in a waiting room and fills out a consent form reading, "You have given extensive thought behind your decision and give 'Brighter Days Inc.' the exclusive permission to remove this person completely from your memory." The singer puts a check mark next to "Yes" and then signs her name as "Peaches" with a heart on the contract line. [6]

Republic Records released Eternal Sunshine on March 8, 2024; "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" is the tenth track on the album.

Composition

"We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" is a synth-pop song whose lyrics outwardly detail the demise of a relationship with the hope that an ex-lover will return and fall in love again. It has been speculated by fans and the media that the song describes Grande's symbiotic relationship with the press and its unsubstantiated reporting on her personal life; the lyrics have been interpreted to describe her choice to not engage and a longing to return to positive coverage. [11] [12] [13] [14]

Critical reception

"We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" received positive reviews from critics. Laura Snapes of The Guardian wrote that the song evokes "Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn's "juddering synths and chiptune flourishes" with a final "jarringly retro" effect. [15] Erica Gonzales & Samuel Maude of Elle magazine stated that the song giving "big Robyn vibes, big "Dancing On My Own" vibes" from the song and called it a coming-of-age pop song. [16]

Kyle Denis of Billboard described the song as "a dancefloor-quaking amalgam of dizzying strings and aggressive synths" wherein Grande sings about "the fuzzying of the boundaries between friendship, romance and the aching gray in between", pointing out that "it is missing a climax to really achieve the catharsis that its urgent instrumental gestures toward". [17]

Synopsis

The video opens with Grande portraying a character named Peaches, seen sitting in a waiting room holding a consent form reading: "You have given extensive thought behind your decision and give 'Brighter Days Inc.' the exclusive permission to remove this person completely from your memory". Peaches reluctantly ticks a box labeled 'yes' and signs the form. A doctor enters the waiting room to call Peaches for her treatment. She gives the doctor her consent form and carries a box of belongings with her to the room. Peaches is then shown seated and about to begin her procedure. The doctor takes a teddy bear from the box and uses a device to remove it from existence and from Peaches' memory. How the teddy bear came to be and its link to Peaches's relationship with her ex-boyfriend is then shown as the wall of the operation room divides into two and shows them both entering an arcade. They approach a claw game and are seen winning the teddy bear. Suddenly, the arcade goes dark and her ex-boyfriend disappears from the memory.

Shifting to a bedroom, Peaches is seen sitting on a bed looking towards her ex-boyfriend whilst he is frowning, turned away from her. The scene shifts once again, this time to a different memory where she is seen opening a door leading her to see them both lying in the snow creating snow angels. The scene ends again with her ex-boyfriend disappearing from the memory. Peaches is seen next holding hands with her ex-boyfriend in a bed under a blanket. The bed is divided into two and the pair are separated, leaving her alone under the blanket.

Back in the operation room, in the belongings, a framed picture of the couple celebrating Peaches's birthday with a cake can be seen. They lean towards each other and her ex-boyfriend disappears to Peaches's surprise. Now alone, she blows out the candles on the cake before the scene returns to the operation room. Peaches gains consciousness and becomes emotional. Another memory is shown where she and her ex-boyfriend are together on a sofa. He gives her a necklace but the memory alters with the necklace morphing into a dog collar and her ex-boyfriend being replaced with a dog. The living room also alters, with picture frames and other decor transforming to omit every memory of the couple. Peaches and her dog watch the TV in the room and a final montage of each of the memories is played. The scene cuts back to the operation room where Peaches is seen shaking hands and hugging the doctors involved with her treatment. Her box of belongings is then shown to be incinerated. After leaving the operation room, Peaches walks with a guy past her ex-boyfriend, who is seen also walking with a girl, unaware of each other's existence.
