## Background

On February 1, 2019, two snippets of an unreleased song by Grande was released. The song was named "Chasin On Occasion" by fans. The song was supposedly considered for Sweetener, but was scrapped due to unknown reasons/. On February 8, 2019, Grande released a new single named "Hopeless Romantic". The song contained the same audio as "Chasin On Occasion".

"Jason on Occasion" reminisces Grande and her partner's relationships. When she looks back at this, she realizes that they had fun together but that it was just a distraction from her real life. She then understands that it was best that they broke up so that she can focus on herself and take time to self-heal. The song is rumored to be about Pete Davidson.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Yeah, yeah (‎Jason), yeah, yeah (Wooh)

Ay, ay, ay, ay

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

**[Chorus]**

I'ma do nothing

Been having so much fun (Woo)

My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt skrrt)

And I'm way too young (Sheesh)

To be crying over you (Ay)

What else can I do? (Ay)

Nothing left to choose

Except ‎Jason on occasion (‎Jason)

**[Post-Chorus]**

I thought that I was a hopeless romantic (Thought that I)

I thought that I was a hopeless romantic (Sheesh)

I really thought that I'd be like my grandparents (Ay)

I thought that I was a hopeless romantic (Thought that I)

**[Verse 1]**

Do I really want that life if it feel like being choked?

I thought that I was a hopeless romantic

When my homies link up there's a thousand reasons I can't go

I thought that I was a hopeless romantic

**[Pre-Chorus]**

What the hеll you mean they do evеry night?

Don't wanna get left, that's scary right?

To bask all in the tequila, and a orange slice

Not too heavy I'm very light

But what if I get hungry and I want a bite

Fast forward, I don't get to see ya

I'm on the phone like

**[Chorus]**

I'ma do nothing

Been having so much fun

My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt, Skrrt)

And I'm way too young

To be crying over you (Ay)

What else can I do? (Ay)

Nothing left to choose

Except ‎Jason on occasion (‎Jason)

**[Post-Chorus]**

I live for (Sheesh, I'm leaving)

(I thought that I was a hopeless romantic)

Of course not only for your feelings

(I thought that I was a hopeless romantic)

**[Verse 2]**

We were young, we messed around

Back and forth and in and out

(I thought that I was a hopeless romantic)

Then we started going out

Going a hundred miles per hour

Gave too much of myself

**[Pre-Chorus]**

What the hell you mean they do every night?

Don't wanna get left, that's scary right?

To bask all in the tequila, and a orange slice (Woo)

Not too heavy I'm very light (Woo)

But what if I get hungry and I want a bite (Yee)

Fast forward, I don't get to see ya (Yee)

I'm on the phone like

**[Chorus]**

I'ma do nothing (Sheesh)

Been having so much fun

My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt, Skrrt)

And I'm way too young

To be crying over you (Yeah)

What else can I do? (Ay)

Nothing left to choose

Except ‎Jason on occasion (Skrrt)

**[Bridge]**

Hey, I'm just taking care of me (Yeah)

You should probably know

That this shit is not okay (Ay)

We should both be healthy (Sheesh)

Hey, I'm not feeling guilty (Uh, Uh)

You should probably know

I'm just trynna feel safe (Sheesh)

But we gon' be okay (Hey, hey)

**[Chorus]**

I'ma do nothing (Sheesh)

Been having so much fun

My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt, Skrrt)

And I'm way too young

To be crying over you

What else can I do? (Ay)

Nothing left to choose

Except ‎Jason on occasion

**[Outro]**

Except ‎Jason on occasion (‎Jason, sheesh)

Except ‎Jason on occasion (Sheesh)
