Fans of Ariana Grande and Jhené Aiko are having a field day on social media, drawing comical comparisons between their respective songs, both titled Eternal Sunshine. The situation escalated after fans noticed how eerily similar the two tracks are—same title, same vibe, and both inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. However, what really ignited the meme fest? Ariana’s decision not to use capital letters in her song title. @ariana_julez hilariously pointed out,

"Um Ariana didn’t use Capital letters,"

while @szadotcom lamented,

"girl ariana.... 😭😭" alongside a side-by-side comparison of the two songs.

With fans coming through with some iconic memes, it’s safe to say the Twitterverse is buzzing.


Lowercase drama: Fans can't stop comparing Ariana Grande’s and Jhené Aiko’s Eternal Sunshine

Fans have been quick to hop onto Twitter to express their thoughts about the striking similarities between Ariana Grande's and Jhené Aiko's tracks, and it’s nothing short of entertaining.

@szadotcom chimed in with the sentiment of many, tweeting,

"don't get me wrong i love both of their music but like this is wildly similar.." highlighting the similarities without taking sides.

Some fans, though, weren’t as neutral. @urmanwantstina confidently stated,

"and ariana did it better," sparking further debates about who captured the Eternal Sunshine mood best.

Adding to the intrigue, another tweet by @MylonsWorld humorously noted,

"The same release dates😭….. lmfo she ain’t over Big Sean," referencing the messy relationship history between Jhené Aiko and Big Sean, who is also Ariana's ex.

Fans didn’t let this spicy connection go unnoticed, feeding into the ongoing drama. For some, the issue wasn’t even about originality. @savannahnoodlez quipped,

"u guys were bullying jhene last year for pointing this out," referencing an incident when Jhené Aiko previously mentioned feeling like her work had been overshadowed.

@ChaosMoogle added,

"We could do this all day, neither was original," pointing to the fact that both songs are based on the same movie, making this a battle of inspirations rather than an outright copycat situation.

Finally, the numbers speak for themselves, and @szagravity couldn’t resist pointing it out with the cheeky remark,

"THE DIFFERENCE IN STREAMS IJBOL," as Grande’s track garnered more attention, sparking laughter and further memes.

The debate continues, but it’s clear that fans are more amused than outraged.


How Ariana Grande and Jhené Aiko share their love for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Both Ariana Grande and Jhené Aiko’s Eternal Sunshine are inspired by the 2004 cult classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a film exploring love, heartbreak, and memory erasure. While they share the same inspiration, each artist reflects their unique style: Aiko’s version, released earlier, leans into a soulful, introspective vibe, while Ariana’s pop twist brings her signature airy vocals.

The drama started last year when Aiko hinted on social media that her work wasn’t fully recognized, leading fans to suspect she was referencing Ariana’s track. With both artists linked to Big Sean, fans have kept stirring the pot, turning lowercase letters and song similarities into meme-worthy internet gold.
