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, Mรฝa, 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.

Just You and I
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can handle all this fame, can ya?
Like me just the way I are
Just the way I, way I are, yeah, yeah
You would like me anyway, would ya?
You won't let me get away, won't ya?
Like me just the way I are
Say you don't wanna be a star, do you?
We step out on a Friday night
New front page, it's a cute headline
I made you a thing, like, "Who's that guy?"
Say you ain't in it for the spotlight, boy
I don't believe no one no more
Boy, show me what you're in it for
Been on the low when it comes to love (when it comes, when it comes to love)
Said, "Do you like how I look or just how I look on you?"
Cover on a magazine in just two weeks
"Boy to watch", ain't he just, just too sweet?
Now he ain't even got time for me
I only see him on the big screen
Woke up at like five, and boy, you wasn't here
When it's my fault, she even knows that you're there
Was I just a transition?
Boy, remember where you come from
We step out on a Friday night
New front page, it's a cute headline
I made you a thing, like, "Who's that guy?"
Say you ain't in it for the spotlight, boy
I don't believe no one no more
Boy, show me what you're in it for (in it for)
Been on the low when it comes to love (when it comes to love)
Said, "Do you like how I look or just how I look on you?"
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
How I look on you
Mm, mm
Mm, mm

(How I look, how I look on you, ooh) oh yeah
How I look, how I look on you
How I look, how I look on you
How I look, how I look on you (ooh)
How I look on you
In "How I Look on You," Ariana Grande sings about the pressures of fame and how it can affect a relationship. The lyrics talk about her asking her partner if they can handle her fame and still like her for who she is, not just for being in the spotlight. She questions their intentions and whether they are sincere about their feelings towards her or just using her for their own gain.
The lyrics also deal with the struggle of maintaining a relationship when one partner is constantly in the public eye and how it can put a strain on the relationship. Grande sings about feeling alone and unseen by her partner who is increasingly becoming more famous and busy. She wonders if she is just a transition for her partner and if they will remember their roots and where they came from.
Overall, "How I Look on You" is a commentary on the superficiality of fame and the difficulty of finding love and staying true to oneself in a world where image is everything.

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
I'm not one to stick around
One strike andโ you'reโ out, baby
Don't careโ if I sound crazy
But you neverโ let me down, no, no
That's why when the sun's up, I'm stayin'
Still layin' in your bed, singin'
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Got all this time on our hands
Might as well cancel our plans, yeah
I could stay here for a lifetime
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
So, lock the door and throw out the key
Can't fight this no more, it's just you and me
And there's nothin' I, nothin' I, I can do
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
So, go ahead and drive me insane
Baby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't change
Being stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you, baby
[Verse 2: Justin Bieber with Ariana Grande]
There's nowhere we need to be, no, no, no
I'ma get to know you better
Kinda hope we're here forever
There's nobody on these streets
If you told me that the world's endin'
Ain't no other way that I can spend it
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber, with Ariana Grande & Both]
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Ooh)
Got all this time in my hands
Might as well cancel our plans (Yeah, yeah)
I could stay here forever
[Chorus: Justin Bieber with Ariana Grande]
So, lock the door and throw out the key
Can't fight this no more, it's just you and me
And there's nothin' I, nothin' I, I can do
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
So, go ahead and drive me insane
Baby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't trade
Being stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
[Bridge: Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande & Both]
Woah
Baby, come take all my time
Go on, make me lose my mind
We got all that we need here tonight
[Chorus: Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber & Both]
I lock the door (Lock the door) and throw out the key
Can't fight this no more (Can't fight this no more), it's just you and me
And there's nothin' I, nothin' I'd rather do
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you
So, go ahead and drive me insane
Baby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't change
All this lovin' you, hatin' you, wantin' you
I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with
You, oh, oh
