Ariana Grande's breakup anthem has been embraced by every fandom on Twitter.

Grande dropped "thank u, next" 30 minutes before Saturday Night Live aired this weekend. Her first single since calling off her engagement to Pete Davidson, Grande takes a healthy approach to ending a relationship by thanking every one of her exes for the learning experience.

Like Twitter users do with all iconic lyrics, they turned the hook from "thank u, next" into a meme.

Tweeting "One taught me love, one taught me patience, and one taught me pain," people paired Ariana's emotionally mature declarations with competing love interests, like the three potential fathers from Mamma Mia.
