• "thank u, next" foi gravada em diversas versões enquanto Ariana Grande estava em um momento tumultuado com Pete Davidson, levando a hesitações sobre se incluir os nomes de ex-parceiros na letra.
• A canção quebrou o recorde de maior número de streams em um único dia para uma artista feminina no Spotify e também deteve a maior semana de streaming on‑demand nos EUA, tudo no mesmo lançamento surpresa de 3 de novembro de 2018.
• O videoclipe, dirigido por Hannah Lux Davis, faz referência a filmes cult dos anos 2000 como *Bring It On*, *Legally Blonde*, *Mean Girls* e *13 Going on 30*, e contou com vários convidados famosos, alcançando mais de 55,4 milhões de visualizações nas primeiras 24 horas, o maior recorde de um vídeo musical na época.
• Apesar de ter sido lançado em um sábado (fora do padrão Global Release Day), a música debutou no #1 do Billboard Hot 100 em 17 de novembro de 2018, marcando o primeiro hit solo de uma artista feminina a fazer isso desde Cardi B em 2017 e o primeiro de uma artista líder a estrear no topo desde Adele em 2015.
• Em sua trajetória no Hot 100, "thank u, next" ficou 17 semanas dentro do top‑10, estabelecendo o recorde de Ariana Grande por maior número de semanas nessa posição, superando seu próprio recorde de 16 semanas com "Problem" e "Bang Bang".
