Ariana Grande delights in curling her voice around brittle, pointillistic rhythms: toying with short phrases, gliding in longer curves, multiplying herself high and low. Pizzicato strings and subtle percussion supply those rhythms in \u201cPositions,\u201d as she offers to enhance monogamy with sexual variety, including things \u201cthat I usually don\u2019t do.\u201d Her promises are earthy; the music is airborne.

Julien Baker, \u2018Faith Healer\u2019
A longing for relief \u2014 spiritual, physical, emotional \u2014 fills \u201cFaith Healer,\u201d the first song from Julien Baker\u2019s next album, \u201cLittle Oblivions.\u201d She\u2019s backed by a full rock band, with restless six-beat guitar picking and a martial, U2-ish beat, as she battles the lures of drugs and delusions, wondering if a faith healer or a \u201csnake oil dealer\u201d can \u201ctake away the sting a minute\u201d or at least \u201cmake me feel something.\u201d The music climbs and climbs, but leaves her hanging at the end.

Tigers Jaw, \u2018Cat\u2019s Cradle\u2019
The history of the Pennsylvania indie band Tigers Jaw is often divided into two distinct phases: before and after the 2013 departure of three of the band\u2019s five founding members, one of whom, Adam McIlwee (who now records as Wicca Phase Springs Eternal), went on to found the influential emo rap collective Gothboiclique. Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins stuck around, though, and reshaped the band\u2019s sound into something a bit softer and more introspective than the band\u2019s brash emo roots. Its previous album, 2017\u2019s \u201cSpin,\u201d felt a bit transitional, but \u201cCat\u2019s Cradle,\u201d the first single from the forthcoming \u201cI Won\u2019t Care How You Remember Me\u201d (out early next year) is a confident step out of the shadow of the past and into the band\u2019s future. Driven by chugging guitars and prismatic keys, it\u2019s a refreshing blast of bouncy power-pop, tinged bittersweet by Collins\u2019 lilting lead vocals. ZOLADZ
Ela Minus, \u2018Dominique\u2019
Isolation reigns in \u201cDominique\u201d by Ela Minus, the songwriter, producer and singer Gabriela Jimeno from Colombia. Over a steady-pulsing, three-chord electro track that adds and subtracts assorted layers, she whisper-sings about how \u201cMy brain feels like it\u2019s going to break\u201d and \u201cI am afraid I forgot how to talk to anyone else that\u2019s not myself.\u201d No matter: She has instruments and studio skills, enough to make her situation thoroughly catchy.

\u00ccf\u00e9, \u2018Music for Egun Movement 2\u2019
The Puerto Rican group \u00ccf\u00e9 merges traditional Yoruba prayers with 21st-century electronics on its EP due in November, \u201cThe Living Dead \u2014 Ash\u00e9 Bogbo Egun.\u201d The living dead aren\u2019t zombies; they\u2019re the spirits of ancestors, and \u201cMusic for Egun Movement 2\u201d respectfully arranges a call-and-response Afro-Caribbean chant with handclaps, bell tones, a programmed beat and vocals tinged with AutoTune, digitizing an ancient incantation.

Helena Deland, \u2018Comfort, Edge\u2019
The hopes, misgivings, wariness and vulnerability of a new romance all play out together in Helena Deland\u2019s \u201cComfort, Edge.\u201d The first seconds of the song take their time coming into focus, with whispers and muffled, low-fi instruments. Then the tempo drags its feet, but the grungy guitar chords push forward; the harmonies climb, but Deland\u2019s vocal maintains its cool, with hints of the melody from John Lennon\u2019s \u201cJealous Guy.\u201d She sets out her requirements \u2014 \u201cYou\u2019ll never make a fool of me\u201d is the first \u2014 but she doesn\u2019t necessarily expect them to be met.

Nil\u00fcfer Yanya, \u2018Crash\u2019
Last year the 24-year-old London singer and songwriter Nil\u00fcfer Yanya released an excellent debut album, \u201cMiss Universe,\u201d which paired searching, openhearted lyrics with sudden, St. Vincent-esque jolts of electric guitar. \u201cCrash,\u201d the first single from her upcoming EP \u201cFeeling Lucky?,\u201d sounds a bit like a mid-90s alt-rock radio hit that never was: The fuzzy distortion of Yanya\u2019s guitar envelops a sweetly hypnotic hook. \u201cIf you ask me one more question, I\u2019m about to crash,\u201d she sings with an exasperated sigh. The music video\u2019s concept elaborates on that theme, featuring Yanya as a flight attendant aboard a charmingly homemade-looking aircraft. ZOLADZ
Jack Harlow, \u2018Tyler Herro\u2019
Is Jack Harlow the Tyler Herro of rap, or is Tyler Herro the Jack Harlow of basketball? Who can say, but they are logical kindred spirits: Both had breakout, hater-silencing years in 2020 (the 22-year-old Harlow with the ubiquitous hit \u201cWhat\u2019s Poppin\u201d; Herro, the Miami Heat\u2019s precocious 20-year-old shooting guard, with his unexpected star turn in the N.B.A. bubble), and both share a certain \u201creally? that guy?\u201d quality. Unfortunately (fortunately?) Herro doesn\u2019t drop any bars on \u201cTyler Herro\u201d \u2014 but he and his fabled drip do make a cameo in the music video. \u201cI came home nice but I\u2019m going back mean, I\u2019m about to globe trot when they know a vaccine,\u201d Harlow raps with his easy, weightless charisma. At the very least, this is the best song semi-randomly named after a reigning N.B.A. rookie since Sheck Wes\u2019s \u201cMo Bamba.\u201d ZOLADZ
Smerz, \u2018I Don\u2019t Talk About That Much\u2019 and \u2018Hva Hvis\u2019
Smerz is the electronic duo of Henriette Motzfeldt and Catharina Stoltenberg, Norwegians now based in Denmark, whose music leaps amid pop, dance music and classical impulses. \u201cI Don\u2019t Talk About That Much/Hva Hvis\u201d is a high-contrast pair of tracks. \u201cI Don\u2019t Talk About That Much\u201d runs on nervous electro momentum, with arpeggios ricocheting in stereo between a sputtering kick drum and a buzz looming overhead; their voices harmonize calmly in lyrics about reticence and uncertainty: I wonder if you ever wonder about me/this much.\u201d \u201cHva Hvis\u201d (\u201cWhat if\u201d) is an austere instrumental for strings: lingering over drones, hinting at a chance at resolution, but thinning back to one solo, sustained tone. PARELES
Steph Richards, \u2018Glass\u2019
The trumpeter Steph Richards is an emerging maestro of extended technique \u2014 which usually means altering the process of playing an instrument, to elicit atypical sounds. But on \u201cSupersense,\u201d a new album, Richards shows that it can mean more than that. First she assembled a quartet of esteemed improvisers a generation or two ahead of her \u2014 the pianist Jason Moran, the bassist Stomu Takeishi and the drummer Kenny Wollesen \u2014 who gently fortify Richards\u2019s aesthetic, which favors tremulous atmospherics and wriggling snakelets of melody over clear narrative. Then, working with the multimedia artist Sean Raspet, she created a batch of abstract, unnamable scents with far-out ingredients (for instance: cricket exoskeletons) to guide the musicians as they recorded each track. Physical copies of the album come with a scratch-and-sniff sheet, allowing you to immerse yourself in the same aura that surrounded the band as it played. With social distancing forcing so many changes to the ways we relate, think of Richards as extending the techniques of artistic interaction, creating a way for audiences and performers to share space from afar.

Since then, the former Nickelodeon star has evolved into one of pop music\u2019s biggest artists. Throughout the course of seven studio albums, she\u2019s gone from crooning about young love to stepping into her sexuality with sticky, trap-pop anthems that have increased her fame by becoming social media catnip.\n\n\n\n\n\tDespite her beginnings as a child actress, Grande has been able to hang onto the fanbase she initially gained in her early days on Victorious. But she\u2019s been able to seamlessly transition into pop stardom because of her music\u2019s honesty and candor \u2014 whether she\u2019s singing about anxiety, desire, grief, trauma, or infidelity. It\u2019s that emotional intimacy that keeps listeners hooked.\n\n\n\n\n\tWhile every fan would likely have a different ranking for the pop icon\u2019s best tracks, these 60 have given us something to talk about \u2014 or have left us with no tears left to cry (in the best way possible).

The piano-driven, hip-hop ballad \u201cBest Mistake\u201d is undoubtedly one of the most minimalist tracks Ariana has released, which is OK! Her crystalline vocals are near-perfect. But Ariana has grown so much since the release of \u201cBest Mistake.\u201d
On \u201cTattooed Heart,\u201d Ariana adds a fresher twist to doo-wop but keeps it simple. It\u2019s hard not to compare the Yours Truly cut to the later evolution of her songs\u2019 production and lyrics. However, she does deliver a stellar allusion to the 1950s era she\u2019s emulating with a wink and a nod when she sings, “I wanna say we’re going steady,\u201d with a sweet lilt.

From the foggy soundscape to the lyrics about the emotional trauma of being drawn back to an ex, it\u2019s hard not to see the parallels between \u201cEverytime\u201d and \u201cGhostin.’ \u201d But \u201cEverytime\u201d feels more like a one-note exhaustive stream of consciousness.

\u201cJust Like Magic\u201d is as much about manifestation as it is about the privilege that comes with fame. While the downtempo R&B track from Positions is full of Ariana\u2019s braggadocio, it feels more like a meditation or coping mechanism \u2014 however, its steady, twinkling beat gets a little repetitive.

In a pizzicato-filled opening to Positions, Ariana dives into chamber pop while quipping about the rumors that circulate about her. \u201cHow you been spending your time?

Troye Sivan feat. Ariana Grande, ‘Dance to This’ (2018)
\u201cDance to This\u201d brings together two of the dreamiest vocalists for an understated pop duet. In the atmospheric dance bop, they detail a blossoming romance fostered by time away from the spotlight. And the best part? The scattered drum beat in the instrumental break is seemingly an ode to Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes\u2019 Dirty Dancing hit, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.\u201d
\u201cThinking Bout You\u201d is the definition of a sad banger and was ultimately the perfect cinematic closer for Dangerous Woman. It\u2019s the kind of track that\u2019s so chilling because of Ariana\u2019s seismic vocals. \u201cOh, I don’t have you here with me / But, at least I have the memory,\u201d she belts, as a way to self-soothe.

On \u201cBad Decisions,\u201d Ariana is trying to make a point: Innocence be gone, she\u2019s no longer the \u201cgood girl.\u201d The hip-hop-meets-pop cut from Dangerous Woman resets her public image and has a sly wink to her debut studio album single, \u201cThe Way\u201d (which featured Mac Miller), as she quips, \u201cAin\u2019t you ever seen a princess be a bad bitch?\u201d \u2014 a nod to Miller\u2019s rap verse \u201cYou\u2019re a princess to the public, but a freak when it\u2019s time.\u201d

Penned by Harry Styles, \u201cJust a Little Bit of Your Heart\u201d is one of Ariana\u2019s most heart-stopping tracks. The piano ballad, which details the anguish of hopelessly being in love with someone who is cheating on you, lets her pour out her feelings and deliver a sweeping chorus. \u201cI don’t ever ask you where you’ve been / And I don’t feel the need to know who you’re with / I can’t even think straight / But I can tell that you were just with her,\u201d she laments.

The opening of the My Everything deep cut \u201cOnly 1\u201d evokes the slinkiness of \u201cHoney,\u201d the lead single from Mariah Carey\u2019s 1997 album, Butterfly, which makes the boom-trap song feel like a welcome throwback hit.
The moments where Ariana transforms into a gospel disco queen are so precious. Every time she belts out the richly layered \u201cgreedy,\u201d it\u2019s like a religious experience. She\u2019s \u201cgreedy for love,\u201d and we\u2019re \u201cgreedy\u201d for those high notes.

‘Hands on Me’ feat. A$AP Ferg (2014)

The opening of the sensual \u201cHands on Me\u201d evokes early 2000s Beyonce\u0301, which is enough to give this song space on this list.
\n\tThe twinkly lullaby like \u201cI Wish I Hated You\u201d is a stunning but anticlimactic track that closes the chapter of her marriage but ultimately feels like an interlude and an unfinished track.
On \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Know,\u201d Ariana delivers a delicious moment where she steps into her power and shows an ex what they\u2019ve been missing \u2014 she also flaunts some of her most breathlessly beautiful vocal runs. \u201cDon\u2019t get mad at me, ’cause you\u2019ve been replaced / Know your place,\u201d she taunts.
A sensual slow jam, \u201cPositions\u201d is the crux of her intimate sixth studio album of the same name. With plucked strings over a downtempo R&B melody, the provocative track is a throwback to Ariana\u2019s early pop days and puts a modern twist on traditional gender roles.
\n\tA haunting downtempo R&B number, \u201cTrue Story\u201d is a sassy letter to Grande\u2019s haters reflecting on the time wasted on the rumors surrounding her personal life: \u201cSee it in your eyes (Eyes), you got too much time/ For fun, you like to pray for my demise, mm/But I’ll play whatever part you need me to/ And I’ll be good in it, too.\u201d
Yes, Mariah Carey is the \u201cQueen of Christmas,\u201d but Ariana is a close second. Heartbroken too many times, she makes a relatable plea to Santa in this holiday cheer-tinged pop track: \u201cDon’t make me fall in love again / If he won’t be here next year.\u201d It\u2019s playful, cheeky, and extremely Ariana.
“Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” is the epitome of thirst. Leaning into pure savagery, Ariana crafts a brassy, bouncy anthem where she\u2019s ready to steal somebody\u2019s guy or girl. It doesn\u2019t hurt that the sassy earworm is catchy as hell and features a sample of \u00a0‘NSYNC’s No Strings Attached track \u201cIt Makes Me Ill\u201d in its bridge.

\n\tOn \u201cImperfect for You,\u201d the guitars of Eternal Sunshine\u2019s \u201cintro\u201d return for a barebones track that recounts the demise of her marriage. \u201cHow could we know/ That this was a happy disaster/I\u2019m glad we crashed and burned,\u201d Grande croons with a psych-tinged lilt.
\n\tGrande enlists her inner bad girl for \u201cThe Boy Is Mine,\u201d which interpolates the eponymous Nineties Brandy and Monica duet and is an indirect continuation of her leaked track \u201cFantasize.\u201d With the track, she addresses the homewrecking accusations and rewrites the narrative as destiny without ill intent. \u201cHow can it be? You and me/ Might be meant to be, can’t unsee it/ But I don’t wanna cause no scene/I’m usually so unproblematic/ So independent, tell me why/’Cause the boy is mine, mine,\u201d she declares on the steamy number.

‘POV’ (2020)

In one of her most arresting vocal performances, Ariana dives headfirst into emotional honesty and her determination to love herself as much as those who idolize her do. The result is a stunning act of sincerity, but even the ethereal arrangements, plucked harp strings, and \u201890s R&B melody don’t make \u201cPOV\u201d one of her more dynamic pop tracks.
\n\tA funky breakup anthem with a disco sheen, \u201cBye\u201d is a sister song to \u201cThank U Next,\u201d where Grande has cut her losses in a relationship in favor of herself. \u201cThis ain’t the first time I’ve been hostage to these tears/ I can’t believe I’m finally movin’ through my fears/ At least, I know how hard we tried, both you and me/ Didn’t we? Didn’t we?\u201d she asks seeking reassurance from herself and her ex.
With the combination of Ariana and the Weeknd, it makes sense that the song has a bit of a sexual edge. But \u201cLove Me Harder\u201d also channels cheesy \u201880s pop and features the sincere crooning of both artists. Together they make sultry synth-pop that sticks with you.

\u201cBe Alright\u201d is everything you want out of an Ariana banger: Nineties house beats, sun-kissed melodies and a sheen of optimism. It\u2019s the kind of feel-good, dance-pop song that flourishes without the singer\u2019s towering vocal runs, too.
\n\tSteeped in euphoria and lust, \u201cSupernatural\u201d sees Grande letting go of her guilt of giving into temptation and instead embracing it. She worries about what happens when the honeymoon is over, but isn\u2019t letting it stop her from getting serious: \u201cI want you to come claim it, I do/ What are you waiting for?/ Yeah, I want you to name it, I do/ Want you to make it yours.\u201d
Ariana and Iggy Azalea were a surprisingly perfect match for this biting, sax-tinged smash. It\u2019s no \u201cFancy,\u201d but it\u2019s a solid pairing.

\n\tWith a sweet clip of her Nonna reflecting on the lessons she learned being married to her own husband and no signature vocal runs, \u201cOrdinary Things\u201d is a clear-eyed ode to being comfortable in a relationship and musing about the magical possibilities that come in the simplest of moments because everything feels right: \u201cThere’s never gonna be an ordinary thing/ As long as I’m with you.\u201d
As Dangerous Woman\u2019s opener, \u201cMoonlight\u201d is the thread that ties her old work with her new direction. Taking on the role of a 1950s crooner, Ariana delves into the sound of Yours Truly and My Everything with this starry-eyed, string-enriched track that feels like it could soundtrack the opening to an old Hollywood film.
Ariana dipped her toes (successfully) into the EDM pool with this catchy club hit \u2014 and the floodgates opened.

In the wake of the Manchester bombing, Ariana paid tribute to the lives lost with the One Love Manchester concert a year later. To close it, she delivered an emotional, piano-backed rendition of \u201cSomewhere Over the Rainbow,\u201d her \u201cgrandpa\u2019s favorite.\u201d It\u2019s undeniably one of her most moving performances.
\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t Wanna Break Up Again\u201d showcases the apparent downfall of Grande\u2019s marriage \u2014 or \u201csituationship\u201d \u2014 to Dalton Gomez, which is not quite the fairytale she once envisioned it to be. Despite the pop star\u2019s feathery falsetto, the track underpins the loneliness she\u2019s felt in her relationship, echoing the pain she felt in \u201cghostin:\u201d \u201cI fall asleep cryin’/You turn up the TV/ You don’t wanna hear me/One more sleepless night.\u201d

Ariana leans into her inner hopeless romantic on the doo-wop-tinged \u201cHoneymoon Avenue,\u201d the lead single from her debut album, Yours Truly. With the glimmer of an old Hollywood score in the background, the singer pines for when she and her lover were at the peak of their romance, crooning, \u201cHey, what happened to the butterflies?\u201d

On \u201cKnew Better/Forever Boy,\u201d Ariana creates a two-part narrative that contrasts the strikingly different sides of romance she\u2019s experienced. While the first section is a slow-burning kiss-off to a lover, the latter half is a buoyant synth-enriched EDM banger that evokes Rihanna and Calvin Harris’ \u201cWe Found Love.\u201d But it\u2019s also one particular track where the pop star\u2019s storytelling chops shine.

Vocally, Ariana nails this soulful gospel ballad, which features Mariah Carey-tier belting. But as Sweetener\u2019s closer, a song clocking in at 5:22 honoring those lost during the Manchester bombing \u2014 it\u2019s a standout due to Ariana\u2019s candor about the crushing anxiety she has battled since the attacks. The fact that it serves as a universal anthem for healing is a bonus.

The world can\u2019t thank Ariana enough for bringing Imogen Heap back into the cultural conversation. As a hallmark of The O.C. soundtrack, \u201cGoodnight and Go\u201d was a gateway for music fans into Heap\u2019s discography, so to see Ariana sample the track with a trap twist on her fourth studio album, Sweetener, was a nostalgic callback that gave second life to an innovative songwriter and her deeply beloved 2005 song.

‘NASA’ (2019)

\u201cNASA\u201d is an ode to space, but not the outer kind. Rather, it\u2019s a thoughtful metaphor for the importance of taking time apart in a relationship. Despite its sappy refrain (\u201cI\u2019m a star, I\u2019ma need space\u201d), the song is an ode to independent women. \u201cThis is one small step for woman / One giant leap for womankind,\u201d Ariana sings over pulsating trap drums and booming bass.
It\u2019s fair to say that \u201cDangerous Woman\u201d doesn\u2019t exactly fit in with the entirety of the record, but it flaunts some of Grande\u2019s strongest vocal work. What\u2019s so alluring about the titular track of her third studio album is its sexy build-up\u2014the slow-burning song taunts and teases until it explodes with a cinematic level of drama. But \u201cDangerous Woman\u201d is more emblematic of Grande\u2019s maturity as an artist\u2014one who has refined her sound and commands respect with her vocal control.
\n\tThe title track of Grande\u2019s latest album is a sassy kiss-off that channels the cheeky rhythmic wordplay of Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s catchy pop number \u201cNonsense.\u201d In it, Grande acknowledges her own misdeeds \u2014 and her natural instinct to apologize \u2014 only to find out that her ex appeared to be guilty of infidelity as well: \u201cI’ll be the first to say, “I’m sorry”/Now you got me feelin’ sorry/I showed you all my demons, all my lies/Yet you played me like Atari.\u201d
Ariana\u2019s specialty is making her music sound like cascading rainbow glitter on clouds \u2014 and \u201cR.E.M.\u201d is a perfect case in point. On it, the singer returns to the doo-wop sound of Yours Truly while crafting a world that exists between fantasy and reality. The lyrics aren\u2019t the singer\u2019s most ambitious, but she crafts a sparkly ambiance that makes up for it.

‘In My Head’ (2019)
\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t
This R&B-inflected electro-ballad is a vulnerable confessional in which Ariana imagines creating an image of her lover in her head. \u201cPainted a picture; I thought I drew you well / I had a vision, seeing what isn’t there,\u201d she muses. The love of an idea just isn\u2019t enough.\u00a0
While \u201cPink Champagne\u201d wasn\u2019t a part of Yours Truly, its sugary pop ethos would have been a great addition to the record. It\u2019s no surprise that effervescent lyrics like \u201cMake it pop like champagne in the purple rain, we\u2019re gonna paint the city!\u201d came from Kesha, who penned the track.
\n\tInspired by Madonna\u2019s 1990 ballroom classic \u201cVogue,\u201d Grande made a splashy re-entrance in early 2024 with \u201cYes, And?,\u201d the carefree lead single of Eternal Sunshine which touts a house-tinged groove. \u201cYes, And?\u201d espouses a reclaimed sense of confidence and feisty attitude pointed at the pop star\u2019s critics: \u201cDon’t comment on my body, do not reply/Your business is yours and mine is mine/Why do you care so much whose dick I ride?\u201d
If there\u2019s anyone who knows how to make an aspirational breakup anthem, it\u2019s Ariana. On this catchy pop-trap bop, which features a sample of \u201cMy Favorite Things\u201d from Rodgers & Hammerstein\u2019s The Sound of Music, the singer\u2019s braggadocio takes over as she details her affinity for lavish experiences like \u201cbreakfast at Tiffany’s and bottles of bubbles\u201d and matching diamonds for her six BFFs \u2014 that she paid for all on her own. \u201cI see it, I like it, I want it, I got it,\u201d Ariana teases. \u201c7 Rings\u201d drives home the notion that money does in fact buy happiness \u2014 or at least acts as a solid consolation prize for Ariana. She says it herself: \u201cHappiness is the same price as red bottoms.\u201d
While \u201cThe Way\u201d isn\u2019t necessarily the best Ariana track, it was pivotal in helping her move beyond the Nickelodeon space. What\u2019s most striking about \u201cThe Way\u201d is her euphoric vocals \u2014 it\u2019s a smooth transition from her 2011 bubblegum pop single \u201cPut Your Hearts Up\u201d to the R&B space courtesy of a clever sample of Big Pun‘s 1998 hit “Still Not a Player.” While it\u2019s a testament to the ecstasy of being in love that pre-dated Ariana and Miller\u2019s romantic relationship, \u201cThe Way\u201d now is undeniably heartbreaking to hear following the rapper\u2019s untimely death.
Ariana\u2019s music is perhaps most affecting when her lyrics are as diaristic as possible. With \u201cBreathin,’ \u201d she details the very real effects of battling anxiety (\u201cFeel my blood runnin’, swear the sky’s fallin’\u201d) and turns them into a relatable balm. But beyond its meaning, the lush synths and airy chorus of \u201cBreathin’ \u201d make it an exhilarating ride \u2014 and one of Ariana\u2019s finest moments as an artist.
If \u201cGod Is a Woman\u201d doesn\u2019t make you a member of the church of Ariana, I don\u2019t know what will. Despite the track\u2019s religious undertones, there\u2019s nothing pious about this song. Instead, Ariana forges an empowerment trap track centered on the holiness of sexual liberation. \u201cYou, you love it how I move you / You love it how I touch you / My one, when all is said and done / You\u2019ll believe God is a woman,\u201d she chants. Perhaps the best thing about the song is the fact that the pop star allegedly multiplied her vocals to evoke the sound of a full gospel choir.

(How?) / How you be using your tongue? (How?) / You be so worried \u2019bout mine?\u201d she asks, dripping with sarcasm. It\u2019s as much parody as it is her reality. ... There\u2019s no denying Doja Cat and Ariana Grande is a match made in musical heaven. Despite its sappy refrain (\u201cI\u2019m a star, I\u2019ma need space\u201d), the song is an ode to independent women. \u201cThis is one small step for woman / One giant leap for womankind,\u201d Ariana sings over pulsating trap drums and booming bass. ... It\u2019s fair to say that \u201cDangerous Woman\u201d doesn\u2019t exactly fit in with the entirety of the record, but it flaunts some of Grande\u2019s strongest vocal work.",

Since then, the former Nickelodeon star has evolved into one of pop music\u2019s biggest artists. Throughout the course of seven studio albums, she\u2019s gone from crooning about young love to stepping into her sexuality with sticky, trap-pop anthems that have increased her fame by becoming social media catnip.\n\n\n\n\n\tDespite her beginnings as a child actress, Grande has been able to hang onto the fanbase she initially gained in her early days on Victorious. But she\u2019s been able to seamlessly transition into pop stardom because of her music\u2019s honesty and candor \u2014 whether she\u2019s singing about anxiety, desire, grief, trauma, or infidelity. It\u2019s that emotional intimacy that keeps listeners hooked.\n\n\n\n\n\tWhile every fan would likely have a different ranking for the pop icon\u2019s best tracks, these 60 have given us something to talk about \u2014 or have left us with no tears left to cry (in the best way possible).

The piano-driven, hip-hop ballad \u201cBest Mistake\u201d is undoubtedly one of the most minimalist tracks Ariana has released, which is OK! Her crystalline vocals are near-perfect. But Ariana has grown so much since the release of \u201cBest Mistake.\u201d
On \u201cTattooed Heart,\u201d Ariana adds a fresher twist to doo-wop but keeps it simple. It\u2019s hard not to compare the Yours Truly cut to the later evolution of her songs\u2019 production and lyrics. However, she does deliver a stellar allusion to the 1950s era she\u2019s emulating with a wink and a nod when she sings, “I wanna say we’re going steady,\u201d with a sweet lilt.
The combination ofMinaj and Grande was the stuff of superstar-collab pop dreams, with cheeky verses and slinky synths.\u00a0

From the foggy soundscape to the lyrics about the emotional trauma of being drawn back to an ex, it\u2019s hard not to see the parallels between \u201cEverytime\u201d and \u201cGhostin.’ \u201d But \u201cEverytime\u201d feels more like a one-note exhaustive stream of consciousness.

\u201cJust Like Magic\u201d is as much about manifestation as it is about the privilege that comes with fame. While the downtempo R&B track from Positions is full of Ariana\u2019s braggadocio, it feels more like a meditation or coping mechanism \u2014 however, its steady, twinkling beat gets a little repetitive.

In a pizzicato-filled opening to Positions, Ariana dives into chamber pop while quipping about the rumors that circulate about her. \u201cHow you been spending your time? (How?) / How you be using your tongue? (How?) / You be so worried ’bout mine?\u201d she asks, dripping with sarcasm. It\u2019s as much parody as it is her reality.
There\u2019s no denying Doja Cat and Ariana Grande is a match made in musical heaven. Together they crafted a bouncy homage to \u201890s electro-house that is so sticky it doesn\u2019t even matter what the lyrics are.

Troye Sivan feat. Ariana Grande, ‘Dance to This’ (2018)
\u201cDance to This\u201d brings together two of the dreamiest vocalists for an understated pop duet. In the atmospheric dance bop, they detail a blossoming romance fostered by time away from the spotlight. And the best part? The scattered drum beat in the instrumental break is seemingly an ode to Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes\u2019 Dirty Dancing hit, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.\u201d
\u201cThinking Bout You\u201d is the definition of a sad banger and was ultimately the perfect cinematic closer for Dangerous Woman. It\u2019s the kind of track that\u2019s so chilling because of Ariana\u2019s seismic vocals. \u201cOh, I don’t have you here with me / But, at least I have the memory,\u201d she belts, as a way to self-soothe.

On \u201cBad Decisions,\u201d Ariana is trying to make a point: Innocence be gone, she\u2019s no longer the \u201cgood girl.\u201d The hip-hop-meets-pop cut from Dangerous Woman resets her public image and has a sly wink to her debut studio album single, \u201cThe Way\u201d (which featured Mac Miller), as she quips, \u201cAin\u2019t you ever seen a princess be a bad bitch?\u201d \u2014 a nod to Miller\u2019s rap verse \u201cYou\u2019re a princess to the public, but a freak when it\u2019s time.\u201d

Penned by Harry Styles, \u201cJust a Little Bit of Your Heart\u201d is one of Ariana\u2019s most heart-stopping tracks. The piano ballad, which details the anguish of hopelessly being in love with someone who is cheating on you, lets her pour out her feelings and deliver a sweeping chorus. \u201cI don’t ever ask you where you’ve been / And I don’t feel the need to know who you’re with / I can’t even think straight / But I can tell that you were just with her,\u201d she laments.

The opening of the My Everything deep cut \u201cOnly 1\u201d evokes the slinkiness of \u201cHoney,\u201d the lead single from Mariah Carey\u2019s 1997 album, Butterfly, which makes the boom-trap song feel like a welcome throwback hit.
The moments where Ariana transforms into a gospel disco queen are so precious. Every time she belts out the richly layered \u201cgreedy,\u201d it\u2019s like a religious experience. She\u2019s \u201cgreedy for love,\u201d and we\u2019re \u201cgreedy\u201d for those high notes.

The opening of the sensual \u201cHands on Me\u201d evokes early 2000s Beyonce\u0301, which is enough to give this song space on this list.
\n\tThe twinkly lullaby like \u201cI Wish I Hated You\u201d is a stunning but anticlimactic track that closes the chapter of her marriage but ultimately feels like an interlude and an unfinished track.
On \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Know,\u201d Ariana delivers a delicious moment where she steps into her power and shows an ex what they\u2019ve been missing \u2014 she also flaunts some of her most breathlessly beautiful vocal runs. \u201cDon\u2019t get mad at me, ’cause you\u2019ve been replaced / Know your place,\u201d she taunts.
A sensual slow jam, \u201cPositions\u201d is the crux of her intimate sixth studio album of the same name. With plucked strings over a downtempo R&B melody, the provocative track is a throwback to Ariana\u2019s early pop days and puts a modern twist on traditional gender roles.
\n\tA haunting downtempo R&B number, \u201cTrue Story\u201d is a sassy letter to Grande\u2019s haters reflecting on the time wasted on the rumors surrounding her personal life: \u201cSee it in your eyes (Eyes), you got too much time/ For fun, you like to pray for my demise, mm/But I’ll play whatever part you need me to/ And I’ll be good in it, too.\u201d
Yes, Mariah Carey is the \u201cQueen of Christmas,\u201d but Ariana is a close second. Heartbroken too many times, she makes a relatable plea to Santa in this holiday cheer-tinged pop track: \u201cDon’t make me fall in love again / If he won’t be here next year.\u201d It\u2019s playful, cheeky, and extremely Ariana.
“Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” is the epitome of thirst. Leaning into pure savagery, Ariana crafts a brassy, bouncy anthem where she\u2019s ready to steal somebody\u2019s guy or girl. It doesn\u2019t hurt that the sassy earworm is catchy as hell and features a sample of \u00a0‘NSYNC’s No Strings Attached track \u201cIt Makes Me Ill\u201d in its bridge.

\n\tOn \u201cImperfect for You,\u201d the guitars of Eternal Sunshine\u2019s \u201cintro\u201d return for a barebones track that recounts the demise of her marriage. \u201cHow could we know/ That this was a happy disaster/I\u2019m glad we crashed and burned,\u201d Grande croons with a psych-tinged lilt.
\n\tGrande enlists her inner bad girl for \u201cThe Boy Is Mine,\u201d which interpolates the eponymous Nineties Brandy and Monica duet and is an indirect continuation of her leaked track \u201cFantasize.\u201d With the track, she addresses the homewrecking accusations and rewrites the narrative as destiny without ill intent. \u201cHow can it be? You and me/ Might be meant to be, can’t unsee it/ But I don’t wanna cause no scene/I’m usually so unproblematic/ So independent, tell me why/’Cause the boy is mine, mine,\u201d she declares on the steamy number.

In one of her most arresting vocal performances, Ariana dives headfirst into emotional honesty and her determination to love herself as much as those who idolize her do. The result is a stunning act of sincerity, but even the ethereal arrangements, plucked harp strings, and \u201890s R&B melody don’t make \u201cPOV\u201d one of her more dynamic pop tracks.
\n\tA funky breakup anthem with a disco sheen, \u201cBye\u201d is a sister song to \u201cThank U Next,\u201d where Grande has cut her losses in a relationship in favor of herself. \u201cThis ain’t the first time I’ve been hostage to these tears/ I can’t believe I’m finally movin’ through my fears/ At least, I know how hard we tried, both you and me/ Didn’t we? Didn’t we?\u201d she asks seeking reassurance from herself and her ex.
With the combination of Ariana and the Weeknd, it makes sense that the song has a bit of a sexual edge. But \u201cLove Me Harder\u201d also channels cheesy \u201880s pop and features the sincere crooning of both artists. Together they make sultry synth-pop that sticks with you.

\u201cBe Alright\u201d is everything you want out of an Ariana banger: Nineties house beats, sun-kissed melodies and a sheen of optimism. It\u2019s the kind of feel-good, dance-pop song that flourishes without the singer\u2019s towering vocal runs, too.
\n\tSteeped in euphoria and lust, \u201cSupernatural\u201d sees Grande letting go of her guilt of giving into temptation and instead embracing it. She worries about what happens when the honeymoon is over, but isn\u2019t letting it stop her from getting serious: \u201cI want you to come claim it, I do/ What are you waiting for?/ Yeah, I want you to name it, I do/ Want you to make it yours.\u201d
Ariana and Iggy Azalea were a surprisingly perfect match for this biting, sax-tinged smash. It\u2019s no \u201cFancy,\u201d but it\u2019s a solid pairing.

\n\tWith a sweet clip of her Nonna reflecting on the lessons she learned being married to her own husband and no signature vocal runs, \u201cOrdinary Things\u201d is a clear-eyed ode to being comfortable in a relationship and musing about the magical possibilities that come in the simplest of moments because everything feels right: \u201cThere’s never gonna be an ordinary thing/ As long as I’m with you.\u201d
As Dangerous Woman\u2019s opener, \u201cMoonlight\u201d is the thread that ties her old work with her new direction. Taking on the role of a 1950s crooner, Ariana delves into the sound of Yours Truly and My Everything with this starry-eyed, string-enriched track that feels like it could soundtrack the opening to an old Hollywood film.
Ariana dipped her toes (successfully) into the EDM pool with this catchy club hit \u2014 and the floodgates opened.

In the wake of the Manchester bombing, Ariana paid tribute to the lives lost with the One Love Manchester concert a year later. To close it, she delivered an emotional, piano-backed rendition of \u201cSomewhere Over the Rainbow,\u201d her \u201cgrandpa\u2019s favorite.\u201d It\u2019s undeniably one of her most moving performances.
\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t Wanna Break Up Again\u201d showcases the apparent downfall of Grande\u2019s marriage \u2014 or \u201csituationship\u201d \u2014 to Dalton Gomez, which is not quite the fairytale she once envisioned it to be. Despite the pop star\u2019s feathery falsetto, the track underpins the loneliness she\u2019s felt in her relationship, echoing the pain she felt in \u201cghostin:\u201d \u201cI fall asleep cryin’/You turn up the TV/ You don’t wanna hear me/One more sleepless night.\u201d

Ariana leans into her inner hopeless romantic on the doo-wop-tinged \u201cHoneymoon Avenue,\u201d the lead single from her debut album, Yours Truly. With the glimmer of an old Hollywood score in the background, the singer pines for when she and her lover were at the peak of their romance, crooning, \u201cHey, what happened to the butterflies?\u201d

On \u201cKnew Better/Forever Boy,\u201d Ariana creates a two-part narrative that contrasts the strikingly different sides of romance she\u2019s experienced. While the first section is a slow-burning kiss-off to a lover, the latter half is a buoyant synth-enriched EDM banger that evokes Rihanna and Calvin Harris’ \u201cWe Found Love.\u201d But it\u2019s also one particular track where the pop star\u2019s storytelling chops shine.

Vocally, Ariana nails this soulful gospel ballad, which features Mariah Carey-tier belting. But as Sweetener\u2019s closer, a song clocking in at 5:22 honoring those lost during the Manchester bombing \u2014 it\u2019s a standout due to Ariana\u2019s candor about the crushing anxiety she has battled since the attacks. The fact that it serves as a universal anthem for healing is a bonus.

The world can\u2019t thank Ariana enough for bringing Imogen Heap back into the cultural conversation. As a hallmark of The O.C. soundtrack, \u201cGoodnight and Go\u201d was a gateway for music fans into Heap\u2019s discography, so to see Ariana sample the track with a trap twist on her fourth studio album, Sweetener, was a nostalgic callback that gave second life to an innovative songwriter and her deeply beloved 2005 song.

‘NASA’ (2019)

\u201cNASA\u201d is an ode to space, but not the outer kind. Rather, it\u2019s a thoughtful metaphor for the importance of taking time apart in a relationship. Despite its sappy refrain (\u201cI\u2019m a star, I\u2019ma need space\u201d), the song is an ode to independent women. \u201cThis is one small step for woman / One giant leap for womankind,\u201d Ariana sings over pulsating trap drums and booming bass.
It\u2019s fair to say that \u201cDangerous Woman\u201d doesn\u2019t exactly fit in with the entirety of the record, but it flaunts some of Grande\u2019s strongest vocal work. What\u2019s so alluring about the titular track of her third studio album is its sexy build-up\u2014the slow-burning song taunts and teases until it explodes with a cinematic level of drama. But \u201cDangerous Woman\u201d is more emblematic of Grande\u2019s maturity as an artist\u2014one who has refined her sound and commands respect with her vocal control.
\n\tThe title track of Grande\u2019s latest album is a sassy kiss-off that channels the cheeky rhythmic wordplay of Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s catchy pop number \u201cNonsense.\u201d In it, Grande acknowledges her own misdeeds \u2014 and her natural instinct to apologize \u2014 only to find out that her ex appeared to be guilty of infidelity as well: \u201cI’ll be the first to say, “I’m sorry”/Now you got me feelin’ sorry/I showed you all my demons, all my lies/Yet you played me like Atari.\u201d
Ariana\u2019s specialty is making her music sound like cascading rainbow glitter on clouds \u2014 and \u201cR.E.M.\u201d is a perfect case in point. On it, the singer returns to the doo-wop sound of Yours Truly while crafting a world that exists between fantasy and reality. The lyrics aren\u2019t the singer\u2019s most ambitious, but she crafts a sparkly ambiance that makes up for it.

‘In My Head’ (2019)
\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t
This R&B-inflected electro-ballad is a vulnerable confessional in which Ariana imagines creating an image of her lover in her head. \u201cPainted a picture; I thought I drew you well / I had a vision, seeing what isn’t there,\u201d she muses. The love of an idea just isn\u2019t enough.\u00a0
While \u201cPink Champagne\u201d wasn\u2019t a part of Yours Truly, its sugary pop ethos would have been a great addition to the record. It\u2019s no surprise that effervescent lyrics like \u201cMake it pop like champagne in the purple rain, we\u2019re gonna paint the city!\u201d came from Kesha, who penned the track.
\n\tInspired by Madonna\u2019s 1990 ballroom classic \u201cVogue,\u201d Grande made a splashy re-entrance in early 2024 with \u201cYes, And?,\u201d the carefree lead single of Eternal Sunshine which touts a house-tinged groove. \u201cYes, And?\u201d espouses a reclaimed sense of confidence and feisty attitude pointed at the pop star\u2019s critics: \u201cDon’t comment on my body, do not reply/Your business is yours and mine is mine/Why do you care so much whose dick I ride?\u201d
If there\u2019s anyone who knows how to make an aspirational breakup anthem, it\u2019s Ariana. On this catchy pop-trap bop, which features a sample of \u201cMy Favorite Things\u201d from Rodgers & Hammerstein\u2019s The Sound of Music, the singer\u2019s braggadocio takes over as she details her affinity for lavish experiences like \u201cbreakfast at Tiffany’s and bottles of bubbles\u201d and matching diamonds for her six BFFs \u2014 that she paid for all on her own. \u201cI see it, I like it, I want it, I got it,\u201d Ariana teases. \u201c7 Rings\u201d drives home the notion that money does in fact buy happiness \u2014 or at least acts as a solid consolation prize for Ariana. She says it herself: \u201cHappiness is the same price as red bottoms.\u201d
While \u201cThe Way\u201d isn\u2019t necessarily the best Ariana track, it was pivotal in helping her move beyond the Nickelodeon space. What\u2019s most striking about \u201cThe Way\u201d is her euphoric vocals \u2014 it\u2019s a smooth transition from her 2011 bubblegum pop single \u201cPut Your Hearts Up\u201d to the R&B space courtesy of a clever sample of Big Pun‘s 1998 hit “Still Not a Player.” While it\u2019s a testament to the ecstasy of being in love that pre-dated Ariana and Miller\u2019s romantic relationship, \u201cThe Way\u201d now is undeniably heartbreaking to hear following the rapper\u2019s untimely death.
Ariana\u2019s music is perhaps most affecting when her lyrics are as diaristic as possible. With \u201cBreathin,’ \u201d she details the very real effects of battling anxiety (\u201cFeel my blood runnin’, swear the sky’s fallin’\u201d) and turns them into a relatable balm. But beyond its meaning, the lush synths and airy chorus of \u201cBreathin’ \u201d make it an exhilarating ride \u2014 and one of Ariana\u2019s finest moments as an artist.
If \u201cGod Is a Woman\u201d doesn\u2019t make you a member of the church of Ariana, I don\u2019t know what will. Despite the track\u2019s religious undertones, there\u2019s nothing pious about this song. Instead, Ariana forges an empowerment trap track centered on the holiness of sexual liberation. \u201cYou, you love it how I move you / You love it how I touch you / My one, when all is said and done / You\u2019ll believe God is a woman,\u201d she chants. Perhaps the best thing about the song is the fact that the pop star allegedly multiplied her vocals to evoke the sound of a full gospel choir.
