Kawula Muda, sudah ada yang dengar lagu ini dan sadar dengan lirik-liirknya?
Ariana Grande baru saja merilis album terbaru yang bertajuk “Positions” pada 30 Oktober 2020. Berbicara soal album terbarunya, penyanyi kelahiran 1993 itu tak ingin menutup-nutupi fakta bahwa banyak hal berbau “dewasa” yang terkandung di dalamnya.
Salah satu yang sangat jelas adalah lagu berjudul 34+35. Jika dihitung secara matematika, penjumlahan judul lagu tersebut akan menghasilkan angka 69.
Menyimak kembali lirik 34+35, memang terdapat bagian yang secara frontal membahas tentang seks, seperti pada bagian berikut ini.
Can you stay up all night?/ F**k me ‘til the daylight/ Thirty four, thirty five/ … You drink it just like water/ You say it tastes like candy/ … Baby, you might need a seatbelt when I ride it/ I’m a leave it open like a door, come inside it/ Even though Im wifey, you can hit it ike a side chick/ Don’t need no side d**k, no/
Dalam wawancara bersama Zach Sang Show pada Jumat (30/10/2020), Ariana Grande menceritakan bagaimana proses penulisan lirik 34+35 yang disebutnya sebagai lagu “terjorok” yang terdapat dalam album terbarunya itu.
“Kenapa lagu ini penting untuk keseluruhan cerita di album terbarumu?” tanya Zach memulai pembahasan soal lagu tersebut.
“Oh, karena aku pikir itu menggelikan dan sangat lucu dan bodoh. Itu benar-benar konyol dan hanya sebuah lelucon. Kami mendengar suara senar yang terdengar seperti (musik) Disney dan orkestra, dan aku berkata seperti ini, ‘yo, lirik terjorok apa yang paling bertentangan yang bisa kita tulis untuk ini?’,” kata Ariana memulai cerita tentang penulisan lirik lagunya.
“Dan (saat itu) aku duduk bersama Scott Nicholson dan dia menulis lirik ‘just gimme them babies’ yang merupakan hal terfavoritku yang telah Scott tulis untuk 34+35. Kemudian Victoria dan Tayla datang, dan kami menulis bagian bridge,” kata Ariana Grande melanjutkan ceritanya.
"Kami mulai menulis lagu itu tahun lalu pada malam setelah gempa besar (di California pada September 2019) 4.5 (skala richter). Itulah kenapa ada lirik ‘Got the neighbors yellin’ “Earthquake!” 4.5 when I make the bed shake’, " ujra penyanyi asal Florida tersebut.
