Grande and Cyrus dominate most of the song. Grande spends most of her time in a mansion and clad in a white angel outfit, while Cyrus shows off her boxing skills on some poor guy bound to a chair in a boxing ring.

"I make my money, and I write the checks / So say my name with a little respect," Cyrus sings before Del Rey, in her breathy voice, takes over for the song's bridge.

Some fans think the word "angel" might be aimed at Cyrus' ex Liam Hemsworth, who used to call her that lovingly. But as we also know, it's the name of the movie the soundtrack is on, too, and that trumps everything.
