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.

Just Look Up
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahh-ay
We knew no bounds
Fell at the speed of sound
Ridin' against all odds, but soon against ourselves
You haunted every memory
With no goodbyes, all bad for me
Then just one look is all it takes
I feel your eyes, they're locked on every part of me
And then my dumb heart says
Just look up
There is no place to hide
True love doesn't die
It holds on tight and never lets you go
Just look up
You cannot deny the signs
What you've waited for
Don't wait no more
It's right up above you
Just look up
(Baby)
Know I let you down, a nigga can't deny it (uh-huh)
And there's so much I could lose it and, yes, that matters (yeah)
I've been dealin' with madness (yo)
Wasn't the man you needed (hmm)
You dealin' with sadness, truthfully, it's all on me (hmm)
And I'm sorry, my love (uh, uh)
I'ma heal your heart, I'll hold it in my hand (ooh, yeah)
Time is oh so precious, we don't really have much left now (ooh)
Take my hand, baby (yeah), never leave you, Riley
Look up, what he's really trying to say
Is get your head out of your ass
Listen to the goddamn qualified scientists
We really fucked it up, fucked it up this time
It's so close, I can feel the heat big time
And you can act like everything is alright
But this is probably happening in real time
Celebrate or cry or pray, whatever it takes
To get you through the mess we made
'Cause tomorrow may never come
Just look up
Turn off that shit-box News
'Cause you're about to die soon everybody
Ooh, I, oh, I
Look up
Here it comes
I'm so glad I'm here with you forever
In your arms
The lyrics to Ariana Grande's song "Just Look Up" delve into two different kinds of love – romantic love and self-love. The first verse deals with a troubled romantic relationship that is slowly falling apart. Despite their best efforts to keep the love alive, their efforts are going against them. The singer is reminded of the good times they shared together but can only remember the bad moments because of the overwhelming presence of their partner. But just one look is enough to make her heart flutter again, and she's moved to believe that true love never dies but rather holds on tight and never lets go.
The second verse, delivered by rapper Pharrell Williams comes in as another person's confession of love for another, but this time with an acknowledgement of past mistakes and a desire to heal things. The singer blames himself for not being the person they needed and promises to hold the other person's heart and heal it. The chorus line, "Just look up," has a more profound meaning here, urging people to look past the chaos and the uncertainty in the world, instead choosing to find peace and hope in themselves or in another's eyes.
The chorus is repeated two more times, with the third time being delivered in Ariana's signature angelic hums, emphasizing the message of finding hope in the midst of trouble.
Line by Line Meaning
We knew no bounds
We felt limitless in our love
Fell at the speed of sound
We fell head over heels for each other quickly
Ridin' against all odds, but soon against ourselves
Despite the challenges we faced, we eventually became our own enemy
You haunted every memory
You were always on my mind, even in my memories
With no goodbyes, all bad for me
Our breakup was sudden and painful for me
Your pride put out the fire in our flames
Your unwillingness to resolve our issues extinguished the passion in our relationship
Just look up
Direct your attention towards the sky
There is no place to hide
You cannot escape true love
True love doesn't die
True love endures even after a breakup
It holds on tight and never lets you go
True love clings to you and never lets you forget
You cannot deny the signs
When you see the signs of true love, you cannot ignore them
What you've waited for
True love is what you have longed for
Don't wait no more
Take action to pursue true love while you can
It's right up above you
True love is within reach if you pay attention
Know I let you down, a nigga can't deny it (uh-huh)
I acknowledge that I disappointed you
There's so much I could lose it and, yes, that matters (yeah)
I have a lot to lose, and it's important to me
I've been dealin' with madness (yo)
I've been struggling with my own issues
Wasn't the man you needed (hmm)
I was not the partner you deserved or required
You dealin' with sadness, truthfully, it's all on me (hmm)
Your sadness is a result of my actions, and I acknowledge that
I'm sorry, my love (uh, uh)
I apologize for my mistakes
I'ma heal your heart, I'll hold it in my hand (ooh, yeah)
I will help you heal from the pain I caused
Time is oh so precious, we don't really have much left now (ooh)
Time is short, and we should make the most of it
Take my hand, baby (yeah), never leave you, Riley
I want to be with you forever, and I promise to never walk away
Look up, what he's really trying to say
Pay attention to the message he is conveying
Is get your head out of your ass
Stop being ignorant and oblivious to the reality of climate change
Listen to the goddamn qualified scientists
Take heed of the experts' warnings regarding climate change
We really fucked it up, fucked it up this time
We have caused irreversible damage to the environment
It's so close, I can feel the heat big time
The impacts of climate change are already taking place
And you can act like everything is alright
You can pretend that nothing is wrong, but the truth is clear
But this is probably happening in real time
People should face the stark reality of climate change
Celebrate or cry or pray, whatever it takes
Take action or express yourself in any way you believe will help
To get you through the mess we made
We must deal with the consequences of our actions
Tomorrow may never come
We must act today to protect the future of the planet
Turn off that shit-box News
Stop watching sensationalist or misleading media outlets
'Cause you're about to die soon everybody
Climate change will have severe consequences for humanity
Here it comes
The effects of climate change are imminent
I'm so glad I'm here with you forever
I am grateful to have you by my side for the rest of eternity
In your arms
Being with you brings me comfort and joy
