Latar Belakang dan Kolaborasi

Lagu “Cinderella” diciptakan oleh Mac Miller bersama Ty Dolla $ign, Dahi, Aja Grant, Vic Wainstein, Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman, dan Sunni Colón. Lagu ini ditujukan untuk penyanyi Ariana Grande, sosok yang pernah menjalin hubungan asmara dengan Mac Miller hingga berakhir pada Mei 2018.

Makna Lagu “Cinderella”

Lagu “Cinderella” menggambarkan kisah cinta yang penuh gairah, kedekatan emosional, dan pencarian makna di balik hubungan yang intens. Lagu ini terbagi menjadi dua bagian — “Cinderella” dan “Right After Love” — yang masing-masing menyoroti sisi berbeda dari cinta dan hasrat.

Pada bagian pertama, Mac Miller dan Ty Dolla $ign mengekspresikan kerinduan serta keinginan untuk bersama sosok yang sangat mereka cintai. Liriknya menggambarkan suasana malam penuh romantika dan daya tarik fisik. Meski demikian, tersirat pula rasa tulus dan pengorbanan yang menunjukkan kesetiaan pada satu sosok istimewa.

Bagian kedua, “Right After Love”, membawa nuansa yang lebih reflektif dan spiritual. Mac Miller menuliskan tentang perubahan hidup setelah menemukan cinta sejati — dari kegelapan menuju terang, dari kesepian menuju kedamaian. Ia menggambarkan cinta sebagai penyelamat yang membuatnya merasa lebih baik dan lebih hidup.

Secara keseluruhan, lagu ini bukan hanya tentang hubungan fisik, melainkan juga tentang perjalanan emosional menuju kedewasaan dan pemahaman cinta yang lebih dalam. “Cinderella” menjadi metafora bagi seseorang yang mengubah hidup sang penyanyi — sebuah cinta yang indah, berharga, sekaligus rapuh.

I been literally curvin' all these hoes for you
Daddy told you, better bring your ass home
Cinderella, better get your ass home
Man, I swear that parents just don't understand
You ain't gotta be old to be a man

To my room
Tell your little friends you gon' be alright
Girl, I got a plan for the whole night

[Mac Miller:]
Okay, your legs just like a store: they open up and you got people in line
Been there every night for weeks at a time
You in my dreams, that's why I sleep all the time
Just to hear you say I love you, just to touch you, just to leave you behind
I told you, you don't have to worry, you'll be fine
This type of thing, I heard it happen all the time
Yeah, I just wanna see you fly
Because your fragrance got me faded, you be keepin' me high
Said nothin' better than the first time
I'll be at your service like the check-in at curbside
You don't have to spend another second on this Earth dry
Wet you like a fresh beau coop, go a second and a third time
Left you a perverse mind
And when you hungry, I can chef you up a stir fry
Get you some dessert wine, elevate ya third eye
First prize, Nobel, get a piece
Your clothes off, turn around, lemme see
