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.

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 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 "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored," Ariana Grande sings about wanting someone who is already in a relationship. She is attracted to this person and wants to know what it would be like to be with them intimately. However, she understands that it is not right to interfere in someone's current relationship. The lyrics express her conflicting feelings about this situation and her struggle to resist her desires. She also acknowledges her problematic behavior and the fact that it's not fair to the girlfriend.
The chorus is the most memorable part of the song and delivers a straightforward message. Ariana wants the person she likes to break up with their girlfriend because she is bored and wants to be with him. The lyrics express her feelings of insecurity and longing and also indicate that she understands it is not an acceptable thing to do. The second verse adds emotional depth to the song, where she confesses how this person has affected her and that she is willing to compromise on her morals for him.
Overall, the song seems to be more about Ariana's personal struggle with wanting someone that she cannot have rather than an actual attempt to break up someone's relationship. The lyrics showcase her vulnerability and insecurities as she navigates her feelings.
