Track 5, ‘eternal sunshine’, which directly nods towards the film ‘Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind’, with it being a clear allusion towards the movie and its premise, as it hones its narrative to be about Ariana and her Ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, desiring to wipe her mind as she would rather forget completely about the relationship than live through the pain of her divorce.

In addition to the direct movie reference, someone being your “eternal sunshine” can also imply something that you will forever, or eternally, grow from.

Now being haunted by her ex lover as stated by Elle Magazine, it juxtaposes the ordinary semantics of sunshine, highlighting the impossibility of forgetting with its pessimistic lyrics

Whilst being interviewed by Zach Sang for Amazon Music, Ariana stated that this song just ‘fell into place’ when conceiving this album, realising that the film in which this song is named after, and the overall identity of the album, intertwine with one another to form this cohesive narrative
