Composition
"Positions" is a midtempo pop–R&B song with elements of trap. According to Musicnotes.com, The song is written in the key of D minor with a tempo of 72 beats per minute, while Grande's vocal range spans from the low note of G3 to the high note of D5. Lyrically, the song is about Grande describing her dedication to her lover and her willingness to try new things for him. Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club wrote that the song is "a tune about settling down while preserving your sense of self". Other lyrics, such as the chorus, in which she sings, "Switchin' them positions for you/Cookin' in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom" include sexual innuendos. Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos referred to the track as a "straightforward plea to get down and dirty any time, any place". It has been speculated that the song was written about Grande's current boyfriend, Dalton Gomez. Others suspected that one of the song's lyrics ("I'm just hopin' I don't repeat history") was a veiled reference to her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson, due to a pause in between the syllables in "repeat". The song's instrumentation features pizzicato guitar plucking, viola, trap drums, and the sound of crickets chirping. It was described by Dani Blum of Pitchfork as a "slinky sex jam" which "drape harmonies over hazy synths". The Observer's Kate Hutchinson compared the song's composition to that of Craig David's 2000 single "7 Days".
