Grande, Ariana - Popular Song Lyrics






[Both: MIKA and Ariana Grande]
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompoms
Now you're working at the movies selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
Ahh, I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song

[Both:]
My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar, but you were always popular
You were singing all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row, cause my song is popular

[MIKA:]
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know

[Both:]
So catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
So catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go

[Both:]
Always on the lookout for someone to hate
Pickin' on me like a dinner plate
You hid during classes and in between them
Dunk me in the toilets now it's you that cleans them
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh, the joke's on you
Got everyone laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
How come you look so cool?
Cause that's the only thing that I learned at school, boy
Uh huh, I said that's the only thing that I learned at school

[Both:]
My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar, but you were always popular
You were singing all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row, cause my song is popular

[MIKA:]
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know

[Both:]
So catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
So catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go

[Ariana Grande:]
That's all you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
That's all you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
That's all you ever need to know

[Both:]
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know

Grande, Ariana Popular Song Comments
  1. 8.... 1....

    Tim Burton?

  2. K.... N....

    Sounds like "popular" from Wicked

  3. E.... ....

    If I was Mika I would grab both of her hands when he turns to stone so she will be stuck too

    The betrayal in the end gets me every time

  6. N.... F....

    The KING of forgotten bops

  7. h.... ....

    If there is someone that doesn't mix with me (like they are hateful), I stay away from them and develop my own life and friends that eventually inspired and gets emulated by those that are popular. That's the way to live - instead of hate, stick around, or fight back - as that doesn't benefit anyone (like how this video ends). Just go to those who will help and help them too - as sticking around the ones who don't can't help anyway and vice versa.

  40. M.... M....

  41. A.... R....

    here in 2020 and i need some help. There was this girl band in the late 2000s, early 2010s and i CANNOT remember their names or songs and when i try to look them up i cant find anything. What i do remember is that there were 3 girls. One had bubblegum pink hair, another one had blue/purpleish hair, and i think the last one was a brunette but her color was green. If anyone knows PLEASE help me out!!!!!

  42. M.... a....

    This was my song when I was like 7

  43. T.... O....

    I just saw Wicked live & wondered why “popular” sounded familiar and here I am !! 💚💚💚

  44. M.... O....

    Love this song! He sounds like Adam Levine.

  45. R.... S....

    2020 hands up

  46. E.... m....

    Lol she killed him at the end shouldn’t have knocked down her place house when y’all was kids 🥱

  47. A.... B....

    I’m here in 2020

  48. C.... K....

    This is the time Ariana just start getting POPULAR

  49. L.... T....

    so ketchup
    cause u got a long long way to go

  50. T.... P....

    2020? I'm here after a few months after discovering that song

  51. F.... G....

    Even though Mika is death staring real hard for the entire thing, he is still so handsome?!

  52. T.... F....

    Aesthetic as fuck

  53. M.... X....

    Ari's acting as if the song belongs just to her lol

    M.... X....

    Lmao I know. Like, it's Mika's song. He wrote it.

  54. v.... a....

    Why does Mika look like that Creep man from ’You’?

  55. v.... s....

    2020 e eu ainda amo essa música e esse feat ❤️❤️❤️

  56. J.... V....

    2020 anyone?

  57. b.... w....

    yea watching old ariana grande videos while war is about to start in 2020 gives me vibes

  58. L.... T....

    Ariana killed Mika, which is to be seen to this day, Ariana is hella popular and isn't really as popular.

    L.... T....

    Mika is very popular in other countries. Not just America. He's been in several shows, speaks many languages, and is well loved internationally. And the only reason he hasn't been back in the western spotlight like he was a few years ago is because he was on hiatus. But he's back now. And he will take his spot back.

    And unlike Ariana, Mika does so writing his own music.

  59. t.... a....

    its the e-school for e-girls and e-boys wohoooooo

  60. b.... ....

    1:07 please ignore, just for me

  61. x.... c....

    Arianna poisoning someone for knocking over a block tower as a child is the kind of petty I aspire to have.

  62. T.... S....

    I've thought about having a few "dinner parties"....

    T.... S....

    I would like to co-host.

  63. d.... ....

    This is literally a fun song

  64. f.... ....
