The wait is finally over — Ariana Grande's fifth studio album Thank U, Next just dropped today, so bring on the endless streaming! The album is way deeper and much more personal than any of Ari's previous work, which means the lyrics are perfect for conveying whatever emo mood you're currently vibing with on social media. Seriously, you guys, these Instagram captions from Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next album will have you feeling all the feels. So get ready to co-opt them whenever you find yourself at a loss for words.

Much of Thank U, Next is about love and loss, which isn't all that surprising given that the singer has been very vocal about the fact that she's still coming to terms with the recent losses in her own life, including her broken engagement with Pete Davidson, and the death of rapper Mac Miller. Her lyrics cover everything from breakups (she name-checks several other of her exes in the title track including Big Sean and Ricky Alvarez) to overcoming loss. But the album is also about recovery and finding a way to move on, so there's lots of fun, #girlpower stuff to work with here, too. All of which is to say, if you're looking for killer Instagram captions, Thank U, Next has got you!
