Get Well Soon (song)

It is inspired by Grande's personal anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the May 2017 terrorist attack after her concert in Manchester, United Kingdom.

[7][8] As a result of the attack, Grande suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an interview with British Vogue.

[9] She revealed that she had "really wild dizzy spells, this feeling like I couldn't breathe", and that she "felt so upside down" and her anxiety became physical.

[10] In Grande's Time magazine Next Generation Leaders interview, her vocals are described as being "interwoven in dense layers of sound, creating an otherworldly effect".

Pitchfork editor Jillian Mapes called "Get Well Soon" a "career-defining moment" and praised it as "the sort of freeform, self-help soul ballad you'd maybe expect to round out a Beyoncé opus" and wrote: "Anyone who knows how gracefully Grande handled the horrific events at her Manchester show last year will recognize an equally graceful response to her own emotional aftermath in this song.

"[14] The Independent's Kate Solomon described the track as ambitious and said: "As a five-minute musical interpretation of the post-traumatic panic attacks Grande has suffered, 'Get Well Soon' is not exactly enjoyable to listen to but admirable in its honesty.

"[19] Chris Willman described Grande's singing as florid[20] and Neil McCormick wrote that she sounded like "a one-woman doo-wop combo".
