The Voice coach Ariana Grande gave her fans a treat when she released the full song of "Just Look Up." The song features rapper Kid Cudi and will appear in the Netflix film Don't Look Up. The film, written and directed by Adam McKay, stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as the main stars, along with a sea of household names like Meryl Streep and Tyler Perry. The film follows Kate Dibiasky and her professor, Dr. Randall Mindy, as they try to warn everyone that a comet is heading towards Earth and will destroy the planet.
Ariana and Kid Cudi have minor roles in the film; both artists play pop stars and perform the tune "Just Look Up" in Don't Look Up. The song was nominated for three Hollywood Music In Media Awards and won for Original Score for a feature film. After hearing it in the movie, critics who had early access to the film raved about the song on social media. "Just Look Up" was praised for its satire and for Ariana's powerful vocals on the track. Critics also found the song to be hilarious.
The Voice coach Ariana has officially released the song to the public, and fans can listen to the full track on YouTube. The song seemingly narrates a relationship that went downhill and how both parties are dealing with the heartbreak and trying to revive their love. However, the lyrics then take an unforeseen turn to touch on relevant societal topics. Ariana sings, "Get your head out of your a** and listen to the goddamn qualified scientists." After this, the song becomes a warning to listeners in the film that the world is about to end due to the comet plummeting towards Earth.
Critics who called the song satire may be referring to lyrics like "Turn off that s*** box news cause you're about to die soon, everybody." The message of the song transitions from the optimism of looking up from a bad relationship and seeing the positive in the potential future to looking up to see the truth that a comet is crashing towards Earth and can't be ignored anymore. Ariana has released countless hits, but this is the first time she has written a song for a feature film. Critics and fans have predicted that the song may be a top contender for Best Original Song at the 2022 Academy Awards.
The Voice coach truly delivered some incredible vocals on the track. The song has a very clever way of grabbing listeners' attention by moving from the typical message of love and heartbreak to a more serious note, that the world is about to end. It's understandable why so many early listeners found the song so comical. Once the film is released, the song's message will be clearer, but as of now, its message seemingly points to members of society who choose to ignore all evidence of Earth's impending demise to blindly live their "normal" lives. With its success and critical acclaim, it's likely Ariana's "Just Look Up" may be getting some Oscar buzz.
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
