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,...

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. -

she lied and he left her.
he is now with a new girl who gives him what he wanted.
she regretted lying and insisted for one last time to hold him.
she doesnt care about the girl he is now with.
all she really wants now is one last chance. -

From what I understand, this song about her lying or possibly cheating on the guy she loves and he ends up leaving her but she regrets what she did to him. She wants one last time with him but he already has a someone who gives him everything he's ever wanted.

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.

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 believe that she and that boy ended their relationship and she regret all the lies and everything. Now he’s with his new girl, all she wanted spend one last time with him.

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.

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.....
