Contents

Following the release of Positions, "POV" debuted at number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100, later peaking at number 27. It reached number three on the US Mainstream Top 40, and aided Grande in becoming the first artist to post three concurrent top ten hits in the chart's history. In addition, the song reached top 20 in the charts of Ireland, New Zealand, Puerto Rico Anglo and the United Kingdom, as well as the top ten in Rolling Stone 's Top 100 chart.

A dance lyric video for the song, directed by Director X, was released on April 30, 2021 to coincide with the six month anniversary of Positions. A live performance music video of "POV" was released on June 21, 2021.

Background and composition

On October 24, 2020, Grande released the track list of Positions via social media, revealing "POV" as the fourteenth and final track on the album. [1] [2]

"POV" is an R&B ballad with a quiet arrangement accompanied by cello and viola. It has a length of three minutes and twenty-one seconds, [3] and is written with a tempo of 132 beats per minute in the key of E major, while Grande's vocals range from a low note of B3 to a high note of G5. [4] The song opens with rainfall sound effects. [5] On the last line, Grande's voice follows a descending melody as the music fades out. [6]

Lyrically, the song explores the idea of switching places with a lover, [7] and how love can smooth out perceived imperfections. [8] In the track, Grande mentions how deeply her lover, Dalton Gomez, understands her and loves her, how much more understood and adored the singer feels through his eyes, [9] as well as her insecurities, her initial fear of starting a relationship again, and how Gomez has helped her overcome it. [10] She also expresses joy for being accepted for her "ugly", [11] and makes a plea to love herself just as much as her partner loves her. [12]

Critical reception

Jason Lipshutz of Billboard ranked "POV" as his top song from Positions, describing the track as one that "breaks the mold of a traditional R&B ballad", calling it "a breathtaking show-stopper" and "the most elegant–and arguably the flat-out best–deployment of full-on balladry in her catalog to date". He particularly praised the song's lyrical concept, which he regards as an integral part in what makes the song "work so well". [8] Vulture's Justin Curto named the song "one of Grande's best performances on Positions", deeming it "an ecstatic finale presenting her whole range of whistle tones, belts, and runs in just three and a half minutes". [7] Writing for Consequence of Sound , Mary Siroky chose "POV" as one of the three "essential tracks" from the album, and considered it "perhaps the best showcase for the belt listeners often crave from her". [13] Chris DeVille of Stereogum wrote in his review of the album: "Album closer 'POV' is the sort of churchy traditionalist ballad Carey or Whitney Houston once slayed, and Grande proves herself a worthy heir." [14]

Year-end lists

Callie Ahlgrim of Insider ranked "POV" as the 14th best song of 2020, naming it the best ballad in Grande's entire catalog. She praised Grande's "transcendent" vocals, writing that the song "boasts some of her most intimate, impressive lyrics to date". She also commended the song for being "sentimental and expressive without feeling pretentious". [15] In Billboard's staff list of the 100 best songs of 2020, "POV" was positioned at 52, with Rania Aniftos commenting that the song "smash[es] the walls [Grande] built up throughout Sweetener and Thank U, Next " and "reveal[s] her most beautifully defenseless side yet". [16] NPR ranked "POV" as the 98th best song of 2020, with Nastia Voynovskaya from KQED stating: "Ariana Grande's 'POV' comes off as a fluttering, ethereal ode to newfound love, but it's really a meditation on how she uses romance as a lens to better get to know herself." [17]

Erin Parker of Glamour selected "POV" as one of the 63 best songs of 2020, writing: "I'm always here for an Ari ballad, and 'POV' is such a gorgeous ending to Positions." [18] Natasha Jokic of BuzzFeed picked "POV" as one of the best songs of 2020. Complimenting Grande's "breathtaking" vocals, she stated: "'POV' gives us a tender insight that's a lot more vulnerable than the rest of Positions might suggest." [19] Karla Rodriguez of Complex ranked "POV" as the 10th best song of 2020. [20] Cahleb Derry of CED Radio named "POV" the sixth best song of 2020, citing a "level of musical and emotional maturity that you cannot fabricate — you simply have to be there to make music like that." [21] Harper's Bazaar named "POV" as one of the best songs of 2020, with Erica Gonzales calling it a "head-over-heels-in-love ballad" and a standout track from Positions. [22] Rachel Epstein of Marie Claire regarded "POV" as one of the best love songs of 2020. [23]

Following the release of Positions, "POV" debuted at number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the fifth highest charting track from the album that week. [24] "POV" also debuted at number 22 on the Billboard Global 200. [25] As the song sparked an online trend on the video-sharing platform TikTok, it remained stable at number 45 in its second and third week on the Hot 100. Following its launch to US adult contemporary radio, "POV" reached a new peak of number 37 on the Hot 100, in its thirteenth tracking week, on the issue dated June 12, 2021. [26] In its fourteenth tracking week, "POV" declined two spots to number 39, while in its fifteenth tracking week, it rose to a new peak of number 33 on the chart. [27] Following the release of its live music video, "POV" soared to a new peak of number 27 on the Hot 100. It has since charted for a total of 20 non-consecutive weeks.
