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.

Jason's Song
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I was planted all the lies you told me, oh
All the shit you've done
You can't outrun the way you understand me
You acted like you bought me at a bargain sale
You don't even care
You focused your frustration on a small detail
Well you don't want to see the girl I want to be
Then why, then why should I listen
If you don't want to do the things I need from you
Goodbye, goodbye
'Cause I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away
And I'm taking it right back
I'm no blow up doll, no free-for-all
No slave to your decision, ooh
Gotta find a way to break the spell
To get the hell away from those who block my vision
You used me as a fragment of your grand design, hey
And you, you don't get to put me on your bottom line
You don't get what's mine, and I'm doing fine
Said you don't want to see the girl I want to be
Then why, then why would I listen?
You don't want to do the things I need from you
Goodbye, goodbye
I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away
I'm taking it right back, baby
Well you don't want to see the girl I want to be
Then why, then why should I listen
If you don't want to do the things I need from you
Goodbye, goodbye
'Cause I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away
I'm taking it right back, hey
Taking it right back, baby
Taking it right back
The lyrics to "Jason's Song" by Ariana Grande convey a sense of empowerment and self-assertion in the face of a controlling and manipulative relationship. The song speaks to the experience of being deceived and taken for granted by someone, who tries to shape and mold the singer according to their own desires and expectations.
The opening lines, "Yeah, you really tried / But I was planted all the lies you told me, oh / All the shit you've done / You can't outrun the way you understand me," highlight the singer's realization of the deceit and manipulation inflicted upon them by their partner. They acknowledge that the lies and actions of their partner have rooted deep within them, making it impossible for this person to truly comprehend their inner self.
Ariana Grande further emphasizes her independence and refusal to be objectified or controlled in the lines, "I'm no blow up doll, no free-for-all / No slave to your decision, ooh / Gotta find a way to break the spell / To get the hell away from those who block my vision." Here, she asserts her desire to break free from the expectations and constraints placed upon her by her partner. She declares herself as a person with agency and autonomy, determined to distance herself from those who hinder her personal growth and hinder her vision for herself.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, you really tried
You made some effort, but it wasn't enough
But I was planted all the lies you told me, oh
I believed all the false things you said to me
All the shit you've done
The terrible things you have done
You can't outrun the way you understand me
You cannot escape how well I understand you
You acted like you bought me at a bargain sale
You treated me as if I was an inexpensive purchase
You don't even care
You lack any concern or care
You focused your frustration on a small detail
You concentrated your anger on a minor issue
Blew it out of scale, like my ponytail
You exaggerated it greatly, just like you would with my ponytail
Well you don't want to see the girl I want to be
You are not interested in witnessing the person I aspire to become
Then why, then why should I listen
So why should I pay attention to your words?
If you don't want to do the things I need from you
If you are unwilling to fulfill my requirements
Goodbye, goodbye
Farewell
Cause I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away
Because I willingly handed over my power and control
And I'm taking it right back
And now I am reclaiming it
I'm no blow up doll, no free-for-all
I am not an inflatable toy or someone to be used casually
No slave to your decision, ooh
I refuse to be controlled by your choices
Gotta find a way to break the spell
I need to discover a method to free myself from this enchantment
To get the hell away from those who block my vision
To escape from those who obstruct my ability to see clearly
You used me as a fragment of your grand design, hey
You manipulated me as a small part of your overall plan
And you, you don't get to put me on your bottom line
And you don't have the right to use me as a mere statistic
You don't get what's mine, and I'm doing fine
You don't have access to what belongs to me, and I am doing well
Said you don't want to see the girl I want to be
You admitted that you are not interested in witnessing the person I aspire to become
Then why, then why would I listen?
So why should I pay attention to you?
I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away
I willingly handed over my power and control
I'm taking it right back, baby
But now I am reclaiming it
Well you don't want to see the girl I want to be
You are not interested in witnessing the person I aspire to become
Then why, then why should I listen
So why should I pay attention to your words?
If you don't want to do the things I need from you
If you are unwilling to fulfill my requirements
Goodbye, goodbye
Farewell
Cause I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away
Because I willingly handed over my power and control
I'm taking it right back, hey
And now I am reclaiming it
Taking it right back, baby
Reclaiming it completely
Taking it right back
Fully reclaiming it

on Love Me Harder
Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
And if in the moment, I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain
And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me, baby, love me)
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (whoa)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Got to love me, baby)
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder, hey)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
(Boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
Love me, love me, love me
(Just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Harder, harder, harder
