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. The title references to one of her favourite films, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” which stars Jim Carrey. The lead single “yes, and?" was released on January 12, 2024. This song was inspired by Madonna’s “Vogue”and captures the sound of house. eternal sunshine had a debut at #1 on the Global Spotify charts, and earned the most streamed album in 2024 so far.
Grande has received various accolades, including two Grammy Awards, one Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, and three American Music Awards. All five of Grande's full-length albums have been certified platinum by the RIAA. As one of the leading streaming pioneers in the world, she has amassed over 35 billion streams on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music and is the most listened female on the latter two. An influential figure on social media, she is an outspoken feminist and supporter for LGBT rights. She asserts control over her public image and is known for her ponytail hairdo and bold fashion statements. In February 2019, she became the most followed woman on Instagram. Forbes ranked her amongst the highest-paid celebrities in 2019, and Time named Grande as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2016 and 2019. Billboard recognized her as the "Woman of the Year" in 2018.
off the table
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will I ever love somebody like the way I did you?
Never thought you'd be so damn hard to replace
I swear I don't mean to be this way
If I can't have you, is love completely off the table?
Do I sit this one out and wait for the next life? (Next life)
Am I too cold? Am I not nice?
Might not be quite yet healed already
But I just wanna know is love completely off the table?
Will you be there? (Will you be there?)
Can I still love you? (Can I, can I?)
Not yet healed already (not ready)
Should I be goin' too steady? (Too steady)
Just wanna know is love completely off the table?
I'll wait for you
Even though it always feels like I'll be number two
To someone you can't hold anymore
If you let me in, I'm ready to give you what I couldn't before
'Cause I got you, girl
Let me help you through it
You're tryna fill the void with a couple boys
I can see right through it (you can see right through it)
I can love you harder than I did before
Was in a dark place back then
I was toxic, then I was toxic to someone else
I was haunted by the hills (oh yeah, yeah)
I couldn't give you my all, but I will
If you let me in your arms
If you let me in your heart
I don't think that love's completely off the table
Will you be there? (Yes, I will be there for you)
Can I still love you? (Yes, I been hurt before, before)
Not yet healed already (not ready)
Should I be going too steady? (Too steady, no, no)
Just wanna know is love completely off the table?
So can you hold me?
If I let you, can you prove it to me? (I wanna know)
'Cause I need you to calm me down, babe
Gotta get out of my head (oh, whoa)
Tryna be healed from this pain (oh)
Just wanna know, just wanna know, know, know, baby (hey)
Can you touch like you believe in it, baby?
Let me think you never gonna leave on me, baby
'Cause I ain't her and you ain't him, thankfully (baby, don't leave)
But it's gon' be hard to let someone else in again (whoa)
Baby, baby (woo-hoo)
Will you be there? (Will you be there? I'll still wait, I'll still wait for you, baby)
Can I still? (oh, no-no, no)
Not yet healed already (not ready)
Should I going too steady? (no, no, no)
Just wanna know is love completely off the table, baby?
I swear, I swear
I will wait for you whenever you need
Ooh, ooh
In this song, Ariana Grande addresses the aftermath of a relationship and wonders if she will ever love in the same way again. She contemplates if she will ever find someone she loves as much as the person she lost. Ariana feels like the person she lost is hard to replace, and if she can't have that person, then maybe love is off the table for her. She struggles with the idea of moving on and not being ready to let someone else in.
Later on, she seems to address her former lover and acknowledges that he is also trying to move on by filling the void with other women. However, she believes that she can love him harder than she did before and is ready to give him what she couldn't in the past. She acknowledges that she wasn't in the right place emotionally and was toxic to others. But she's learned and grown from that experience and is ready to try again with him.
The song is also a collaboration with The Weeknd and will appear on Ariana's sixth studio album, "Positions." The song is rumored to be about Ariana's ex-boyfriend Mac Miller, who passed away in 2018.
