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.

Tryna find the end
Bumped into this shy guy
While chillin' with my friends
He's eyein' me
Sizin' me
Makes my body weak
It's only been a minute
Since you came in
And changed my life
When I get around you
I feel this
Spark ignite
[Chorus: x2]
I got that fire
You got me open
You dig it deeper
We take it higher
Crazy, what we're doin'
Livin' let it go (go, go)
Ridin' havn' good times and
No one has to know
He's eyein' me
Sizin' me
Makes my body weak
He's bringin' out the freak in me
It's only been a minute
Since you came in
And changed my life
When I get around you
I feel this
Spark ignite
[Chorus: x2]
I got that fire

The lyrics of Ariana Grande's song Higher describe a feeling of being caught off guard and utterly changed by the presence of someone in the singer's life. The singer has been searching for a sense of fulfillment, running around in circles trying to find the end, but it is only when she encounters the "shy guy" that her life changes. The way he looks at her makes her feel weak and brings out a side of her that she describes as a "freak." The song describes the early stages of a relationship, where everything feels electric and new. The chorus of the song is about the intoxicating feeling of being around this person, who has opened the singer up in a way that feels like a spark igniting within her.
The lyrics of the song are sensual and suggest a sexual awakening in the singer. There is a sense of wild abandon and a willingness to let go and lose oneself in the experience of being with this person. The repetition of the lines "We take it higher" and "Make them lose their minds" emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings and suggests that this relationship is something that is all-consuming and transformative. The overall effect of the lyrics is to create a feeling of joyful release, a sense of being swept up in something bigger and more powerful than oneself.
