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.

Pull up, pull up on me

The lyrics to Ariana Grande's "Test Drive" are about being so committed and in love with someone that there's no need to test drive anything else. In the opening lines, she invites her significant other to pull up on her and makes it clear that she trusts them enough to give them the keys to her car. She has complete faith in their relationship and doesn't look back unless it's to look at them.
The singer goes on to say that she doesn't need to test drive anything else because she is "sold" on her partner. Even when they're apart, she's always in control of her feelings and knows that she'll always stay loyal to them. The chorus repeats the message that there's no need to look for anything else because her partner is the real deal. The lyrics are a testament to the strength of their relationship and the trust she has found in her partner.
In the bridge, Ariana talks about dropping the top on her body (perhaps a car reference?) and being willing to do anything to show her love, including saying "I do" and flooring it (presumably in the car). She assures her partner that they are hers and there's no need to reverse or second-guess anything. Overall, "Test Drive" celebrates the deep trust and love that two people can have in a committed relationship.
