Just when we thought nothing could top Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” and its nostalgia-inducing music video, she drops her new single “7 Rings” and its video in one fell swoop late Thursday.

It’s glorious.

Grande first teased “7 Rings” on the “Thank U, Next” video. Fans heard a snippet of the song at the beginning of the clip and spotted the title on the license plate of a convertible in the Legally Blonde segment, leading them to guess that “7 Rings” is a track in her upcoming album. Grande confirmed their theory in response to a fan’s tweet, saying she wrote the song after getting tipsy at Tiffany’s, where she ended up buying rings for herself and her friends.

Fans have been waiting for it since, and Grande herself expertly hyped up the release with teasers and a countdown this week.

The bright pink and blingy music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis pretty much gives us the visuals on what went down that day at Tiffany’s, which led to a cacthy beat that will get us through this Friday.

The melody borrowed a riff from The Sound of Music classic “My Favorite Things,” and Grande updated the lyrics with all the luxurious things she likes and got for herself.

“Yeah, breakfast at Tiffany’s and bottles of bubbles
Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble
Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines
Buy myself all of my favorite things, yeah”

Naturally, the lyrics and video got everyone feeling broke—and the Twitter memes have rolled in.

“Ariana is basically dragging us broke b*tches with this song and I love it,” tweets @ksjcherry.

People are especially triggered by this line: “’Whoever said money can’t solve your problems, must not have had enough money to solve ’em’ …. I feel attacked,” wrote @iamnivenshi.

The song’s got them feeling the complete opposite: “This song has me about to make some really irresponsible financial decisions,” quips @lmlyuh.

“7 Rings” is definitely the perfect anthem to celebrate this weekend with your friends, but it should come with a warning: Hang on to your wallets. (Also, maybe don’t get drunk at Tiffany’s.)
