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.

The lyrics of Break up with Your Girlfriend I by Ariana Grande suggest that the singer finds themselves attracted to someone who is already in a relationship. The song is sung from the perspective of someone who is encouraging the person they are attracted to, to break up with their current girlfriend so they can start a new relationship. While the lyrics may seem controversial, Grande explained that the song is more of a “fun, empowering break-up song that’s not really a break-up song.”
The opening lines of the song, “You got me some type of way, ain't used to feeling this way,” suggest that the singer is feeling a certain attraction towards someone that they haven't felt before. However, the singer is aware that the situation is not ideal due to the person's existing relationship. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “break up with your girlfriend, Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm bored” to emphasise the singer's desire for the person to break up with their current partner.
Interestingly, towards the end of the song, the singer acknowledges that their behaviour may be perceived as crazy or obsessive. Nevertheless, they make it clear that their attraction to the person is strong enough to warrant such emotions. Overall, Break up with Your Girlfriend I is a catchy song that explores the complex emotions that arise when one finds themselves attracted to someone who is already taken.
