She is a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning recording artist. Born in Boca Raton, Florida, Grande began her career in 2008 in the Broadway musical, at 13 years of age. She rose to prominence for her role as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series, Victorious (2010–2013) and in its spin-off, Sam & Cat (2013–2014). As she grew interested in pursuing a music career, Grande recorded songs for the soundtrack of Victorious and signed with Republic Records in 2011 after the label's executives discovered videos of her covering songs that she uploaded onto YouTube. She released her debut album, Yours Truly, in 2013. A 1950s doo-wop-influenced pop and R&B album, it debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and spawned her first US top-ten single, "The Way", featuring rapper Mac Miller.

Grande's second studio album, My Everything (2014), continued the pop-R&B sound of its predecessor and incorporated EDM elements. It topped the Billboard 200 and featured four US top-ten singles: "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang", and "Love Me Harder" featuring The Weeknd, the most of any artist that year. Grande's pop-R&B styles extended on her third studio album, Dangerous Woman (2016), which was her first of three consecutive number-one albums in the UK, and spawned top ten hits such as the Grammy nominated title track and "Side to Side".

On her next two albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019), Grande experimented with trap while maintaining her characteristic pop-R&B tones; being projects with her most creative control yet and showing a more personal and vulnerable side, both debuted at number one in several countries and were acclaimed by music critics. The former won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album and spawned the international top three hit "No Tears Left to Cry", while the latter broke several streaming records. Grande became the first solo artist to hold the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously when "7 Rings", "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" and "Thank U, Next" did so in 2019. She is also the first artist to have the lead singles from each of their first six studio albums debut within the top ten in the US.

Grande released her sixth studio album, Positions (2020) with its lead single, "Positions" debuting at number one in the US and the UK simultaneously. The song became her third number one hit in the US following "Stuck With U" in collaboration with Justin Bieber and "Rain On Me", also in collaboration with Lady Gaga. A deluxe version of Positions was released in February 2021, with four new songs and a remix of "34+35" featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. The remix helped the song peak at number two, the highest-charting song credited to three or more female soloist since 2001 when "Lady Marmalade" performed by Christina Aguilera, Mýa, P!nk, and Lil Kim peaked at number one. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming her fifth album to do so. In April 2021, a remix of The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" was released featuring Grande. The song reached number one in both the US Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100. It spent a total of 69 weeks in the US charts, becoming one of the ten longest-running songs in that chart since its publication.

In November 2021, it was announced that Grande would star in the two-part film adaptation of the musical Wicked. The movie is set to release on November 24th, 2024.

Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated seventh studio album “eternal sunshine" was released on March 8th, 2024. The title references to one of her favourite films, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” which stars Jim Carrey. The lead single “yes, and?" was released on January 12, 2024. This song was inspired by Madonna’s “Vogue”and captures the sound of house. eternal sunshine had a debut at #1 on the Global Spotify charts, and earned the most streamed album in 2024 so far.

Grande has received various accolades, including two Grammy Awards, one Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, and three American Music Awards. All five of Grande's full-length albums have been certified platinum by the RIAA. As one of the leading streaming pioneers in the world, she has amassed over 35 billion streams on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music and is the most listened female on the latter two. An influential figure on social media, she is an outspoken feminist and supporter for LGBT rights. She asserts control over her public image and is known for her ponytail hairdo and bold fashion statements. In February 2019, she became the most followed woman on Instagram. Forbes ranked her amongst the highest-paid celebrities in 2019, and Time named Grande as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2016 and 2019. Billboard recognized her as the "Woman of the Year" in 2018.

Almost Is Never Enough (feat.
Ariana Grande Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right,
But that's a lie,
That's a lie

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost
Almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms

And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'll be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve

Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost
Almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you, oh
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms

And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

(Huh) oh, huh oh
(Oh baby) hmm
(You know) oh
(You know baby)
(Almost)

Baby baby baby (is not enough baby)

(You know) huh huh
(Huh yeah)

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost
Almost is never enough (is never in enough babe)
(We were) so close to being in love (So close)
If I would have known that you wanted me (that you wanted me)
The way I wanted you, babe
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms

And we we almost
We almost knew what love was (baby)
But almost is never enough

(Huh)
(Oh baby) almost
(You know) hey
(You know baby)
(Almost)
(Is never enough baby) never

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ariana Grande's song Almost Is Never Enough portray the idea of missing out on love due to a lack of honest communication and surrender. Grande admits that she would like to blame the failed relationship on external circumstances such as life itself, but acknowledges that the truth is, they just weren't meant to be. She sings about the irony of denying their feelings for each other, and how they will eventually reveal themselves. The chorus emphasizes the phrase "almost is never enough;" highlighting that an almost relationship is not enough to sustain a true, lasting romance. Grande daydreams about alternate realities where they could be together, and her regret for not fully realizing or reciprocating the other person's feelings is palpable in the lyrics.

The song "Almost Is Never Enough" featuring Nathan Sykes by Ariana Grande received critical acclaim for its stripped-down balladry and soulful vocal performances. The track was released on August 19, 2013, by Republic Records, and it appeared on the soundtrack for the romantic comedy film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.

Line by Line Meaning

I'd like to say we gave it a try
I want to express that we tried to make this work

I'd like to blame it all on life
I wish I could say that it was fate's fault, but it wasn't

Maybe we just weren't right,
Perhaps we weren't meant for each other

But that's a lie,
But deep down we both know that's not true

And we can deny it as much as we want
We may try to hide our feelings, but they will eventually come out

But in time our feelings will show
Even if we try to suppress our emotions, they will be revealed in due time

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
It won't be long until we regret ending things between us

The truth is everyone knows
In reality, it's obvious to everyone that we still have feelings for each other

Almost, almost is never enough
Being almost in love is not enough to sustain a relationship

So close to being in love
We were very close to being in love, but we fell short

If I would have known that you wanted me
If only I had known that you felt the same way about me as I do about you

The way I wanted you
I desired you deeply and wished for a future with you

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
Our relationship would have been stronger and we wouldn't be separated

But right here in each others arms
We would be together in each other's embrace

And we almost, we almost knew what love was
We thought we had love, but we didn't

If I could change the world overnight
If I had the power, I would fix everything between us instantly

There'd be no such thing as goodbye
We would never have to say goodbye or part ways

You'll be standing right where you were
You would be standing right where we last said goodbye

And we'd get the chance we deserve
We would have a chance to make things right and be together

Baby baby baby (is not enough baby)
Being baby, baby, baby close is not enough to make this work

And we can deny it as much as we want
We may try to avoid the truth, but it will catch up with us

Is never enough babe
Being almost in love is not enough to sustain a relationship

We were so close to being in love
We were very close to having a deep and meaningful relationship

That you wanted me (that you wanted me)
If only I had known that you loved me as much as I love you

(Hey ey ey)

Why doesn't Ari make more songs like this?
Like deep, sad, soulful, wholesome stuff
And her voice in this song 😍
It just comes out so beautifully
I'm in love 😍

Update:
Omg guysssss
I totally forgot about this comment!!
1.3K likes?!?!
I'm shook 🙈💓
And as a general response to the comments
Yes, I agree that of course she's going to go for what's trending and what's going to sell more, which makes total sense.
I think maybe it's up to us, the audience, the consumers, to shift our attention towards more soulful content.
These kind of songs need more spotlight and attention so that they see the shift in demand.
In short, it's down to us!

it hurts when you have an “almost” relationship with someone. you can’t be together because of such circumstances and the worst part of it is just to bury your own feelings and regret comes as time passes by. we were really close to being inlove. maybe you were the right person at the wrong time...

32 year old man here. Grew up on RnB and for this generation this is easily top tier and arguably in her top 3 best songs. From the crazy relatable lyrics to the duet complimenting each other very well. It’s a masterpiece of a song in its simple yet complex vibe. Which fits the overall feel of the song and what it means to be in love with someone who you never took that chance with only to let such song fade without ever know the beauty of what could’ve been.
