## Audio

"**Just Like Magic**" (stylized in all lower case) is the fourth track from Ariana Grande's sixth studio album and Y/N’s second studio album, *Positions*. It was released on October 30, 2020 through Republic Records and Dream Records. It is described as an upbeat, braggadocios tune in which Y/N celebrates her many accomplishments throughout her career.

The song contains many allusions to the Law of Attraction, a philosophy that states, through enough energy and attention, the universe can manifest a person’s thoughts whether they’re positive or negative. The belief stems from the idea that "like attracts like"—negative thoughts will manifest negative energy towards you, and similarly, positive thoughts will manifest positive energy. Throughout "Just Like Magic," Y/N focuses on embodying and maintaining a positive and forward-looking future.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Oh, yeah

**[Verse 1]**

Wake up in my bed, I just wanna have a good day (Mmm, ah)

Think it in my head, then it happens how it should, ayy

Twelve o'clock, I got a team meeting, then a meditation at like 1:30

Then I'm right to the studio listening to some shit I wrote (Oh)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Good karma my aesthetic (Aesthetic)

Keep my conscience clear, that's why I'm so magnetic

Manifest it (Yeah), I finessed it (I finessed it)

Take my pen and write some love letters to Heaven

**[Chorus]**

Just like magic (Baby), just like magic (Oh yeah)

Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it

Just like magic (Yeah), I'm attractive (Oh yeah)

I get everything I want 'cause I attract it (Oh)

**[Verse 2]**

Looking at my phone, but I'm tryna disconnect it (Oh yeah)

Read a fuckin' book, I be tryna stay connected (Yeah)

Swear it's tricky at the top, gotta keep a slim ego for a thick wallet

Losing friends left and right, but I just landed, lovin' life (Oh)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Good karma my aesthetic (My aesthetic)

Keep my conscience clear, that's why I'm so magnetic

Manifest it (Ooh), I finessed it (Ooh)

Take my pen and write some love letters to Heaven

**[Chorus]**

Just like magic, just like magic

Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it (Ayy)

Just like magic, I'm attractive

I get everything I want 'cause I attract it

**[Verse 3]**

I don't wanna waste your time on some dumb shit

"Password to your phone," you can miss me with that shit

Redesign your brain, we gon' make some new habits

Just like magic (Just like magic), just like magic

**[Chorus]**

Just like magic (Baby), just like magic (Oh)

Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it

Just like magic (Oh), I'm attractive (Ah, yeah)

I get everything I want 'cause I attract it ('Cause I attract it, babe)

**[Outro]**

Mmm, mmm (Oh)

Mmm-oh, yeah

Mmm, yeah, mmm
