"If I'm not the one then I'm the best mistake you ever had."

I think this is one of Ariana best song and I feel NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT.

2023 and I'm still coming back to this amazing performance

Ariana: singing Sean: fuck did I turn off the stove before I left?

this performance is so fucking underrated

Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining, stars fall and the world goes blind, boy, you know I'll be saving my love for you... best part absolutely

even though it didn’t work out, Sean is the best mistake that ever happened to Ariana.

i love how quiet the audience is so i could hear her voice clearly 😭😩

So much chemistry I thought I was in the relationship too lmao

This is literally the definition of perfect. Like she did not make a single mistake, not a single note off, not a single bad breath. OMG she is pure talent and we are so lucky to have her.

fun fact: you're here during the positions era

It’s like they were singing directly to each other and they were really listening. Like u can tell this song meant a lot to them!

By far still one of my fave Ari songs..

no matter what, I definitely see a huge chemistry between them, Ariana seem so deeply into the lyrics and Sean, vice versa.

2020 and I’m still coming back to this performance

I love how intimate the performance is. It’s harder to sing sitting down in a chair but they both pull it off vocally. It’s like a whole romantic atmosphere. 3:25 is just so amazing.

'You ask why I love your mum so much because she the older you' love that line

never realized how underrated sean was as a lyricist

And now she's married to Dalton, time really flies

she's married now, but this performance will always be iconic af

She sounds just like the audio. This girl need no autotune

They both sound the exact same live as on track

This performance will forever be iconic. Even though they didn't work out, you can see there was real love here.

i feel like i’m interrupting something-

I usually don't find rappers attractive but damn this guy is mighty fine

Don't care what the haters gotta say. But Ariana and big Sean were hella cute 😊😍 can they just get back together ? 😭 .

This song is haunting beautiful

I love how he's just rapping for her

why does Sean look like his rethinking his life choices?

Her voice is incredibly beautiful

Imagine someone writing lyrics about you saying you're a goddess.... can never relate 😭

2024 and I’m still coming back

ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES SHES DONE EVER!! IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG ATM!!!

this girl is insanely talented, am officially a fan now

Ok why is no one talking about how Ariana is slouching and still singing amazing and effortlessly

This performance looks so genuine and meaningful bruh why is this not talked about also their voices??????? Woah

This will ever be my favorite performance. Big Sean's last two lines break my heart every time now: "When you start as friends, it's hard to say you're never going back
If I'm not the one then I'm the best mistake you ever had"

STOP MAKING ME I-G-G-CRY

she needs to make more songs like this, period, im gonna start crying bro 😭

The amount of times I’ve watched this video is unhealthy, I just miss them..

she sounds the same live and in her songs

if you listen to the official audio, there's no difference! SHES LITERALLY A GREAT SINGER

I know she's happily married but her and Sean looked beautiful together 😭😍 Their chemistry was so strong!!

i love how she does different runs on certain parts (i cant explain it) like here: 2:52 when she says “love” and also here: 3:01 when she says “ever” and here: 3:06 & here: 3:44 when she does it again with “love” its different from the audio and i like it a lot better live 🙈😻

The way he stares at her when she pours her heart into her singing... It's incredible to watch. Their chemistry is insane. I wish things worked out for them.

i get a rare feeling in my stomach when i listen to this i love the song tho love ariana and big sean to idk what it is ughg help me

Looking at them makes me so emotional. And after all these years we’ve come to find out that they’re both living in the same situation. Both of them lost an ex that they loved dearly. R.i.p mac & naya❤️❤️❤️

i miss them so much. the way she blushed when he rapped the “couple only humans except you, you a goddess” line 🥺

she will never perform this song again. It's sad.

Her voice is so wonderful...

i’m literally crying everytime i watch this performance. its like a conversation and they are really listening.

3 boyfriends later yet he’s still my favourite

I didn't realize I shipped them until they broke up lol

They had such chemistry OMG

Even though these 2 don’t make music together anymore, this is still a great song that they’ve done together, even Right There and Research

3:25 i‘ve ascended into the vibe universe

Her Mic said: 🔴

i cant stop replaying this video over and over again

세계 삼대 마요 1. 참치마요 2. 스팸마요 3.언니 그새끼랑 마주보고 웃으면서 눈 마주치지 마요

whenever i wanna hear this song i just come here instead of playing the track because it just... hits different

Any man that Ari dates stares at her so adoringly... just like Mac Miller did when he performed with her and how Sean is in this video. And anyone hear how Pete Davidsons spoke about her in interviews? He was so astonished to even be in the same presence as her let alone date her. Everyone falls in love with Ariana bc she is just that amazing in every way. Incredibly beautiful and wow such talent. ♥️

It's a good thing that she doesn't even look at her UKposts channel because these comments are just bad

she sounds exactly like the song it's actually insane how good of a singer this queen is

Nobody: The lipstick on that microphone

This feels and sounds like they literally just had a conversation. I'm not crying though I promise my mum's cutting onions. *sniffs and dries tears* *through tears* They were just perfect for each other

She had so much lipstick on the mic 😂😘

Here in 2024 this is a timeless classic ❤

LYRICS - BEST MISTAKE 💔 How soon do we forget, how we felt? Dealing with emotions, that never left Playing with the hand that we were dealt, in this game Maybe I'm the sinner, and you're the saint Gotta stop pretending, what we ain't Why we pointing fingers, anyway? When we're the same Break up Make up Total waste of time Can we please make up our minds And stop acting like we're blind? 'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining Stars fall, and the world goes blind, boy You know, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you 'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made But we hold on, hold on There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase But we hold on, hold on I guess time's wasting, tick tocking, lip locking How can we keep the feelings fresh, how do we zip lock it? Wear your heart up on your sleeves so watch out for pickpockets I guess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it Hold up, I know love could be a beach with no shore I done count to ten, lost my temper, and went back to four I know sometimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you need I had a dream we branched out started a family tree And I feel like that everything we do is overdue You ask why I love your mom so much 'cause she's a older you I wish that you were happy I guess that's the one thing I should be providing Ain't no number twos, we both ones of ones and we the oddest Couple only humans 'cept you, you a goddess Only lying to you when I lie you down, just being honest When you start as friends it's hard to say you're never going back If I'm not the one then I'm the best mistake you ever had Break up Make up Total waste of time Can we please make up our minds? And stop acting like we're blind 'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining Stars fall, and the world goes blind boy You know, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you 'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made But we hold on, hold on There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase But we hold on, hold on You're, you're, you're, you're Mmm, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you You're, you're, you're, you're Mmm, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Ariana Grande / Brittany Coney / Denisia Andrews / Dwane Weir Ii / Sean Michael Anderson

Omg I wish they were still together😭😻💗

The lyrics are too accurate right now lol

Ari´s mic with lipstick ♥

Y'all her jawline is perfect

*0:12**, Sean Thinking about his life choices*

2024 and I’m still into this…

I still ship Big Sean and Ariana after all these years. 😭

Some of these comments are just a little sad. "She looks 12!" or "She's a freaking slut/whore!" First of all, please look up the word whore. She's only dated like 2 or 3 guys. And maybe a couple in high school idk .Most teens have dated like 7 and they're only teens. And she can really just dress how she wants. YOU CANT FREAKING CONTROL HER LIFE. SHE CAN DATE, WEAR, EAT, AND LIVE HOW SHE WANTS!!! She's a freaking 21 yr old! Oh and all of those people saying "Ariana doesn't have talent!" listen to her live. Yeah. She barely uses any Autotune unlike other celebs. And all of you people saying "she doesn't deserve all these fans!" Or "she shouldn't even be famous!" Well you're kinda making her more famous by hating on her, because you're basically talking about her, which makes her more and more talked about. HA. And if you don't like Ariana, then why are you here?!?!?! There is no reason for you to be on her UKposts channel if you don't like her. Sorry this was really long but I hope that some people will just understand. Ugh.

Yes, I know Ari’s married but I really miss them two together! They are really cute together in my opinion

can't believe it's been 8 years since this

I don't care who Ariana is dating at least she's happy 😊

The lyrics make sense now

Something about her voice in this song is just so mature and sultry compared to her newer songs, miss this era sm 🥺

oh to be her microphone

i cant Be the only one who thought Big Sean did hella good ;o

*Thought i’de end up with Sean, but it wasn’t a match...*

2023 but still listening 🥺

their chemistry is INSANE

Why Does he look so sad? :( I ship them hard lol they're so cute

They both sound so perfect!!!!💕💕to each other. The lyric is well written !

Look the reaction of ariyana when Sean said "you are a goddess". That's really awesome. Totally a great fan of ari's stage performance

I feel like this is her most underrated song

she was blushing when he started to rap

He was the "Best Mistake She Ever Made" but they won't "hold on' Hold Oon'!

Still one of my favorite performances of hers! Because it is just very chill performance without extra amount of high notes and falsetto (even though I love her high notes and she is famous for them for a reason, but to my personal taste sometimes it is too much...), just her beautiful voice, nice melody and harmonies, that she delivers in a perfect way effortlessly, the beautiful lyrics, the lighting that is not too bright or colorful, and her chemistry with Big Sean... Just aesthetically pleasing and soothing, gives me chills!

Me and my mom have been obsessed with this song since the day it came out🤍 nostalgia!!

I feel like I'm supposed to be glad that they broke up because obviously this is a mismatch! But the lyrics of this song just makes me feel a little sad for them, like they knew before that this relationship wouldn't last: "If I'm not the one, I'm the best mistake you've ever had" Fuck! I'm going on a feels trip

Personally I don't like Ariana as a person, but as a musician she has a beautiful voice and is so in touch with her musical side. I'm not stupid, I know she's a beautiful young woman with a beautiful voice and I wish her all the best I just don't care very much for anything but her music

5 years later.. Still so magical to listen to.

one of her best performances of all time. hands down. the vocals, the instrumental, backing vocals, sean harmonizing her. truly a masterpiece. 🤍

THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM KILLS ME
