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.

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.

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.

Hey, woo
One, two, three
Watch me
I walked over, got this sunlight
Ain't got time to listen to any shade
Yeah
Ain't got time to let them darken my day
That's right
So light the fireworks
Sing like no one's heard
Dance, it's us against the world
Oh, oh, oh
They don't know, they don't know, they don't know, they don't know about us
They don't know, they don't know, they don't know about what we do
That it's true
Thinking of all this but I'm good, if I've got you
They don't know, they don't know, they don't know, they don't know about us
Mmm, listen! (watch me)
You wait so long to catch that feeling
So hold on to it for as long as you can
We could run away
To only where we know
Boy, I've got plans, hey
So light the fireworks
Sing like no one's heard
Let's dance, it's us against the world
Oh, oh, oh
