Following the European leg of Dangerous Woman Tour and the terrorist attack at Manchester show , Grande had " really wild dizzy spells , this feeling like I could n't breathe " , she " felt so upside down . " and her anxiety became physical . She shared her experience with Pharrell Williams , with whom she created the song . In a later interview for '' Paper '' , Grande said : " Pharrell kind of forced it out of me , because I was in a really bad place mentally . ... Pharrell was like , ' You have to write about it . You need to make this into music and get this shit out , and I promise it will heal you . ' And it definitely helped . " She also said that the song is " probably one of the most important songs she would ever write . " Grande revealed in an interview on Beats 1 Radio that she intended the song to offer a " musical hug " . She further explained that " Get Well Soon " is about " being there for each other and helping each other through scary times and anxiety " and about " personal demons and anxiety and more intimate tragedies as well " , stressing that mental health is very important
