Release

On October 14, 2020, Grande took to Twitter to announce that her upcoming album was set to be released that same month.[1] On October 17, she posted a slow-motion teaser video of her typing out the word "positions" on a keyboard.[2] The teaser was followed-up by a countdown launched on her website.[3] She posted the cover art and revealed the release date of the song on October 23.[4] Later that day, she posted a snippet of the song to her social media.[5] "Positions" was released for digital download and streaming on October 23, and was serviced to contemporary hit radio stations in the United States four days later.[4][6]

Composition

"Positions" is a midtempo pop–R&B song with elements of trap.[7][8] Lyrically, the song is about Grande describing her dedication to her lover and her willingness to try new things for him.[9] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club wrote that the song is "a tune about settling down while preserving your sense of self".[10] Other lyrics, such as the chorus, in which she sings, "Switchin' the positions for you/Cookin' in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom" include sexual innuendos.[11] Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos referred to the track as a "straightforward plea to get down and dirty any time, any place".[12] It has been speculated that the song was written about Grande's husband, Dalton Gomez.[13] Others suspected that one of the song's lyrics ("I'm just hopin' I don't repeat history") was a veiled reference to her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson, due to a pause in between the syllables in "repeat".[14][15] The song's instrumentation features pizzicato guitar plucking, violin, trap drums, and the sound of crickets chirping.[16][17][18] It was described by Dani Blum of Pitchfork as a "slinky sex jam" which "drape[d] [Ariana's] harmonies over hazy synths".[19] The Observer's Kate Hutchinson compared the song's composition to that of Craig David's 2000 single "7 Days".[20]

In a review for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis described "Positions" as "low-key, if hooky and melodically strong pop-R&B".[21] Hannah Mylrea of NME wrote that the song is a "bold introduction to [Grande's] next musical era" despite not being a "balls-to-the-wall pop belter", and described its sound as "breezy" and "mellow", bolstered by strings and early "Justin Timberlake–style" acoustic guitar.[22]

 
 
"Positions" was compared to works by Mariah Carey (left) in the late 1990s and Changes, the 2020 album by Justin Bieber (right).[17]

Writing for Vulture, Craig Jenkins labeled the song "delightfully simple" and as "sparse" as Grande's previous songs "Best Mistake" (2014) and "Knew Better" (2016), and found it reminiscent of Justin Bieber's 2020 album, Changes, and Mariah Carey's work in the late 1990s. Jenkins added that "Positions" "swings like rap music but it’s also light, breezy, and short", which he identified as a cause for its success on the charts.[17] Bobby Olivier of Spin called the song a "radio-friendly earworm".[23] Idolator's Mike Wass dubbed the song as the singer's best lead single to date, with an "instantly catchy" chorus. Wass stated that the "slick", "streaming-friendly", R&B-pop tune "worms its way into your consciousness and simply refuses to leave".[24]

Insider writer, Callie Ahlgrim, stated that song is "unassuming" and the "effervescent energy is even more effective within the context of" the rest of the album's tracklist.[25] Another writer, Courteney Larocca, went on to say that the song "made complete sense as the lead single" and that "it doesn't wear itself out or become grating over time".[25] According to Joan Summers of Jezebel, the song sounded "familiar", writing, "Sonically, she has also journeyed back down an excessively well-trodden path...It’s fine! I don’t mind any of it. Really, though, I swear I have heard this song before. Haven’t I heard this song before?"[26] "Positions" was named the "weakest" song on Positions by Mary Siroky of Consequence of Sound, who referred to it as a "perfectly adequate mid-tempo offering that doesn't rise above the stacked pack". Sputnikmusic called the song's beat "unrecognizable" among the rest of the songs on the album.[27]

Year-end lists

Billboard staff described "Positions" as a "slinky R&B jam" and ranked it as the 21st best song of 2020 stating, "In "Positions", Grande confidently sings about wanting to go “from the kitchen to the bedroom,” owning that women are in fact multidimensional, they further stated "Positions" will forever be remembered for making a statement and providing some levity during a heated moment—one of many in 2020."[28]

streaming on October 23 and was serviced to contemporary hit radio stations in the United States four days later 4 6 Composition Edit Positions is a midtempo pop R amp B song with elements of trap 7 8 Lyrically the song is about Grande describing her dedication to her lover and her willingness to try new things for him 9 Annie Zaleski of The A V Club wrote that the song is a tune about settling down while preserving your sense of self 10 Other lyrics such as the chorus in which she sings Switchin the positions for you Cookin in the kitchen and I m in the bedroom include sexual innuendos 11 Rolling Stone s Brittany Spanos referred to the track as a straightforward plea to get down and dirty any time any place 12 It has been speculated that the song was written about Grande s husband Dalton Gomez 13 Others suspected that one of the song s lyrics I m just hopin I don t repeat history was a veiled reference to her ex boyfriend Pete Davidson due to a pause in between the syllables in repeat 14 15 The song s instrumentation features pizzicato guitar plucking violin trap drums and the sound of crickets chirping 16 17 18 It was described by Dani Blum of Pitchfork as a slinky sex jam which drape d Ariana s harmonies over hazy synths 19 The Observer s Kate Hutchinson compared the song s composition to that of Craig David s 2000 single 7 Days 20 Critical reception EditProfessional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingThe Guardian 21 NME 22 In a review for The Guardian Alexis Petridis described Positions as low key if hooky and melodically strong pop R amp B 21 Hannah Mylrea of NME wrote that the song is a bold introduction to Grande s next musical era despite not being a balls to the wall pop belter and described its sound as breezy and mellow bolstered by strings and early Justin Timberlake style acoustic guitar 22 Positions was compared to works by Mariah Carey left in the late 1990s and Changes the 2020 album by Justin Bieber right 17 Writing for Vulture Craig Jenkins labeled the song delightfully simple and as sparse as Grande s previous songs Best Mistake 2014 and Knew Better 2016 and found it reminiscent of Justin Bieber s 2020 album Changes and Mariah Carey s work in the late 1990s Jenkins added that Positions swings like rap music but it s also light breezy and short which he identified as a cause for its success on the charts 17 Bobby Olivier of Spin called the song a radio friendly earworm 23 Idolator s Mike Wass dubbed the song as the singer s best lead single to date with an instantly catchy chorus Wass stated that the slick streaming friendly R amp B pop tune worms its way into your consciousness and simply refuses to leave 24 Insider writer Callie Ahlgrim stated that song is unassuming and the effervescent energy is even more effective within the context of the rest of the album s tracklist 25 Another writer Courteney Larocca went on to say that the song made complete sense as the lead single and that it doesn t wear itself out or become grating over time 25 According to Joan Summers of Jezebel the song sounded familiar writing Sonically she has also journeyed back down an excessively well trodden path It s fine I don t mind any of it Really though I swear I have heard this song before Haven t I heard this song before 26 Positions was named the weakest song on Positions by Mary Siroky of Consequence of Sound who referred to it as a perfectly adequate mid tempo offering that doesn t rise above the stacked pack Sputnikmusic called the song s beat unrecognizable among the rest of the songs on the album 27 Year end lists Edit Billboard staff described Positions as a slinky R amp B jam and ranked it as the 21st best song of 2020 stating In Positions Grande confidently sings about wanting to go from the kitchen to the bedroom owning that women are in fact multidimensional they further stated Positions will forever be remembered for making a statement and providing some levity during a heated moment one of many in
