Co-produced by Ariana with her long time collaborator, Tommy Brown, 7 Rings begins with a riff on The Sound Of Music's My Favourite Things, and features a sample of Notorious B.I.G.'s Gimme The Loot at the bridge, said junkee.com. Soulja Boy alleged that Ariana stole from his song Pretty Boy Swag. He replied to a tweet in which Ariana, 25, thanked her friends who were featured in the 7 Rings video, writing, "Give me my credit. Period."
He later followed up with the message, "You're a thief." He also posted a fan-made video that compared both the tracks. Soulja Boy has previously accused rapper Drake of stealing his musical style.
According to sources who were involved in the recording, 7 Rings was not just a random song title. Shortly after her breakup with Pete Davidson, Ariana reportedly went out with her friends to a jewellery store and bought seven engagement rings for them. The lyrics of 7 Rings also feature references to her breakups, just like Thank U, Next.
