[Intro]
Mu-Mu-Mu-Murda

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna turn me on
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna make me yours, ah

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
'Cause I see you tryin', subliminally tryin'
To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms
I admit it's exciting, parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Baby, tell me, what's your motive? (Motive)
What's your motive?
What's your motive? (Ah)
So tell me, what's your motive? (Motive)
What's your motive?
What's your motive? (Ah)

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
I could call bullshit out from a mile away (Don't say)
You want me if you can keep comin' back for me
Might have to curve you if you just can't talk straight (Just say)
Say what you mean 'cause you might get it

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
'Cause I see you tryin', subliminally tryin'
To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms
I admit it's exciting, parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Doja Cat]
Tell me, what's your motive?
What's your motive?
What's your motive? (Ah)
So tell me, what's your motive?
What's your motive?
What's your motive? (Ayy, yeah, yeah, ayy, ah)

[Verse 3: Doja Cat]
You treat me like gold, baby
Now you wanna spoil me
Did you want a trophy or you wanna sport me, baby?
Want me on your neck 'cause you wanted respect
'Cause you fightin' some war, baby
Well, I had to bring the fists out, had to put a wall up
But don't trust phonies, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You gotta tell me, what's your motive, baby?
'Cause you got your candy (Yeah) on your arm (Yeah)
No need to sugarcoat a lie (Yeah)
Say what you want, I needed a real bonafide G (Come on)
Can you promise me you'll bring it all tonight? (Give it to me)
'Cause I need you to be wise
Tell me everything that's on your mind, come on

[Chorus: Ariana Grande & Doja Cat]
Baby, tell me what's your motive? (Tell me, baby)
What's your motive? (What's your motive?)
What's your motive? (What's your motive?, ah)
So tell me, what's your motive? (Better tell me, baby)
What's your motive? (What's your motive?; Better tell me, baby)
What's your motive? (Yeah, ayy, ah)

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
