When Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj teamed up, their resulting single Side to Side shot right to the top of the charts! And it's easy to see why; the song is catchy, it's sexy, and it's got an energetic, bouncing, funky beat that will have you bobbing along with the music even if you have no idea what the song is about. Plus, that VMA performance with the exercise bicycles was pretty neat.
Speaking of "what the song is talking about," it's not always easy to tell what's really going on in lyrics like these. The girls use their fair share of euphemism and metaphor, so you might not catch everything even if you listen closely.
So, with the help of annotations from genius.com, I've gone through and translated the lyrics to Side to Side so you can have a better understanding of the music.

I can’t say I mind the sexual imagery that much. It’s the sub-30 IQ language that bothers me.
These people are retarded.
What? And mothers of young girls permit their daughters to attend these ‘concerts’?
If mom doesn’t recognize trash... maybe mom is trash
“Dirty lyrics arent anything new. Aerosmiths Big 10 Inch wasnt about a small-screen TV. And Wango Tango isnt Ted Nugents tribute to Spanish dance.”
And let’s not forget The Who with their hit single “Squeezebox.”
“It goes in and out and in and out.....”
Yeah....dirty songs have been around since.....was it Al Jolson who sang “Making Whoopee” in the 20s?

It’s not new. Maybe not as graphic, at least the d-bicycle and wrist thing parts. But for sure the Aerosmith and Nugent fan base wasn’t mainly comprised of pre-teen and teen girls.

Lets face it, even if the lyrics weren’t as bad and the stage show didn’t have simulated homo grinding the music would still be utter garbage. We have generations of people who grew up only on pop dreck, the parents probably are into it.

I remember when, in the 70s, my parents would immediately change the AM radio dial when the song “Good Girls Don’t” came on. I was 7 or 8 years old.
I just went back right now and read the lyrics. Sheesh.
A 60's Who concert was like going to church compared to the steady decline we have today. Real soon, these Disney floozies will just be singing naked and have sex on stage. Guess I shouldn't give Mickey and bob Iger any ideas
Correct.
Popular culture is vomit. I am glad I’m not trying to raise kids in this sewer.
Well then, they had it coming....

Who said anything like that?
...except you.
Fool.
I don’t understand the lyrics, don’t understand the appeal,
obviously computer enhanced voice but still a tedious, monotonous sound.
I can’t imagine anyone looking back in a 100 years and coming to the conclusion that social media has really been good for culture, especially for kids.

“Well then, they had it coming....”
When it comes to garbage like this, sometimes I can’t help but think that the Muslims are doing the necessary dirty work Christians refuse to do.
When it comes to forcefully standing up for their morals, Christians are sadly missing in action.
Oh Well....
We had a Good Run.
We peaked at the Moon landing, and it’s been downhill ever since. Rome.
What you say is true, but what is particularly evil about Arianna Grande’s music is that this trollop’s filth is marketed to preteen and young teen girls. There must be a special place in hell for those who would so corrupt the innocence of an 8-year-old girl.
And I have to assume that the parents of these children are clueless idiots because the notion that they would knowingly allow their precious girls to be corrupted like this too much to contemplate
Western Slut Culture on display. Our society is very sick right now. Because of this and other sins, Hell is coming to pay us a visit, and he’s going to stay a while.
She’s got more blood on her hands than the terrorists.
