Ariana Grande: One Last Time Meaning
Song Released: 2015
One Last Time Lyrics
I was a liar
I gave into the fire
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure
'Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better
'Cause you don't want a liar (come on)
And I know, and I know,...

#2 top rated interpretation:She cheated.
She's sorry.
She regrets what she's done & insists on seeing him for one last time.
Even if its just for one night. She wants him to wake up in her arms for one last time.
Its like a goodbye thing. -

Originally was about Ari cheating on her partner and missing him, and wanting to spend some time with him One Last Time before they go their separate ways. However, since the Manchester Arena attack in 2017, this song has changed meaning and become a special song close to everyone's hearts.

It's about how she cheated on her boyfriend and she regrets it. She knows his new girlfriend treats him better and they like each other more than he and Ariana did, but she still loves him and wants to spend more time with him, even if it's just one night. Cause she wants to say goodbye.
-
She knows she done messed up big time by cheating and lying. She's deeply sorry and only wants him to forgive her and wake up in his arms just one last time. I personally love this song a lot.

I love that song it had more pop and teen pop and so me and Ben are going to write about our relationship together when we first met at the high school and so me and him are great couple, because we’re glad that me and Ben are together again. But our producer max Martin is going to write our song about our past relationships together in high school. Because he graduated from high school since 2017. But he knows Donna lee, if he can drops me off at Donna’s house I’m okay with it, and then when I wrote this with max Martin and savan Kotecha, from the wanted. They’re smart looking boys, I love their music as well but my cousin Nathan is a huge fan of the wanted, because they’re in England me and Ben are going to England together and meet William, because we’re staying over there and go to college, and marry William. Because me and Williams anniversary is on March 30, and so our wedding date is the same date as Kate and Williams wedding date, April 29. Then Ben is here for me and helping me with my wedding dress and makeup, and nails, because William is in love with me.

She regrets everything.
-
I think it means that she made a mistake (cheating on her boyfriend) and now that he has got a new girl, she just wants him to give her another chance with their relationship.
-
I think she had fallen in love with someonez man bt then he decided to leav her coz his original girl found out about his affair with her...and she lied about some things so that she could keep the relationship going.

This song resonates. It could refer to a any instance when you feel you didn’t do right by a lover.

Loved this song NOT SEX but anyhow can interpret any song and relate to any situation. This song remind me of this person I had a mutual understanding relationship with. She came in unexpectedly and what’s worst I had no idea I could love the same sex. She showed me loved, prioritized me, and had romantic gestures. I am asking for ONE LAST TIME with her just to enjoy the last moment together with feelings exposed. I missed you ****. I did not know I loved you until I lost you

For me this is about she started something with a guy who has a girlfriend ("Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart; all I really care is you wake up in my arms"), but the guy's girlfriend discovered them ("I know that this is my fault, I should've been more careful"). The guy is now sorry, but he can't keep the reltionship he had with her, because he is back with his original girlfriend (Whom I assume forgave him). This is why the lyric speaking asks the guy for one last time to hold him and be with him.

I love this song so much when i frist listens to it i did not really get but then i listened to it again and i had cry for somereason cause i feel thise song it like the same problem iam going through

This song is about a girl who cheated on a guy and now just wants to sleep with him.
The language is obvious that this is what she means. She knows he has a new girl that is actually good to him, but she wants to pull him away from that to have sex with him. understanding her blame and wrongdoing, while simultaneously trying to absolve it, "at least I'm being honest".
It's amazing how many of you interpreters grasp at straws. This song is literally awful in its message. Music is good tho. -
I took your love for granted. I should have fought for us, I should have fought against my own demons for us but I gave in. I gave in to the cheating and lying, but despite it all I just want to lay in your arms tonight. I want to wake up next you One last time. I need to be with you one last time.

Listening to the song the one thing that comes to my mind is her asking for the forgiveness of God even though she is a sinner and "Doesn't deserve it." Many lyrics in the song say this such as "I was a liar
I gave into the fire
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure
'Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better." The lyrics say how she felt like she let God down by some of her sinful actions and now is asking for one last chance at forgiveness and she will try to be a better follower if he grants her forgiveness. -
I think she gave her soul to the devil and she's asking for forgiveness from God.....
