Relationships are tough, and perhaps no one knows this more than Ariana Grande. But instead of hiding away after her most recent split with Pete Davidson, the singer has returned with the ultimate break-up anthem.

Thank u, next is the song that announced to the world that Ariana had moved onto a new relationship: her relationship with herself - and it was going really well. However, despite the serious message behind the tune, the internet has, of course, taken it upon itself to steal one of the lines - "one taught me love/one taught me patience/and one taught me pain" - and run wild with it. The result? Some frankly hilarious memes. Enjoy.

Let's be honest, a lot of film sequels would work with this line

Even Ariana herself has got on board the meme-train

With all of these fantastic memes setting the internet alight, it's no surprise that Ariana Grande was named Woman of the Year this week.

'thank u, next' is the internet's new favourite meme and honestly it's hilarious
