Ariana Grande honors late ex Mac Miller on 10th anniversary of ‘The Way’ collab. The singer posted a short video of the song to her Instagram Story with the heartfelt caption, “I love you.”
The Pittsburgh-raised rapper, whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick, died in September 2018 after an accidental overdose. It’s a tragic loss for the music community and especially Grande, who was on track to marry comedian Pete Davidson at the time of Miller’s death.

On Sunday, Ariana Grande honoured the 10th anniversary of her duet with Mac Miller with a heartwarming tribute. The pop star reshared a snippet of the song on her Instagram Stories, captioning it with “I love you.”
The song was released on March 25, 2013, and marked the first time the singer and rapper teamed up for a single. It peaked at the 9th spot on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the initial hits.
In addition to her groundbreaking collab, Grande also dated Mac between September 2016 and May 2018. But their relationship eventually came to an end when the rapper died of an accidental drug overdose in 2018.
The teen singer has since moved on to a new man, real estate mogul Dalton Gomez. But that doesn’t mean there’s no room in her heart for her late ex.

Since Miller’s tragic 2018 passing, Ariana Grande has honored him with heartfelt social media messages. She has also released songs about her former love, including “Thank U, Next” and “Ghostin”.
The song is no longer available on YouTube but an updated version of the song was re-released this week, featuring a whole slew of artists who added their support. The Black Eyed Peas, Andra Day, Jaden Smith, Wiz Khalifa and Usher are among those who have stepped up to support the singer.
The song was a hit
Ariana Grande honored Mac Miller on the 10th anniversary of their collab ‘The Way’. The songstress reposted a short video on her Instagram Stories that was shared by an account dedicated to the former Nickelodeon star, and it’s clear she’s still a fan of her late pal.
The song was released in 2013, and it became Grande’s first top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It also won her the prize for best song from a female artist at the MTV Video Music Awards that year.
The song was written by Miller and produced by Grande. It was a collaboration that took both their careers to the next level. It also sprang to life with the help of one of Miller’s close friends and collaborators, Thundercat. In fact, the song is credited with having helped launch the rapper’s career. Sadly, Miller died in September of 2018 after an accidental overdose.
The song was a love song
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Ariana Grande’s debut mac miller duet, a song she says holds a special place in her heart. It’s a romantic ode that celebrates the lives of people she lost and holds her exes close.
“Imagine” is a melancholic, dreamy R&B ballad that’s as hopeful as it is tragic. It’s a song that lets Grande rewrite the story of a failed romance.
The wistful lyrics are undeniably touching and a masterclass in vocal performance. The hushed verses and bridge are particularly beautiful.
It’s an emotional track that Grande said was a reflection of her own personal journey, referring to her past exes by name. This is a generous ode to the people who helped her find growth in her life.
