The 10 Best Ariana Grande Songs of All Time


As Ariana Grande gears up for the release of her new album 'Eternal Sunshine,' we take a look back on the best songs from her discography.

“Cadillac Song” presents as a gorgeous, twinkling nod to the sound of Motown’s heyday, coasting on a flipped sample of The Sylvers’ “How Love Hurts,” and you can almost picture her daydreaming behind the wheel about the warmth she once felt from a relationship long gone. Wrapped around an interpolation of Brenda Russell’s “A Little Bit of Love” (by way of Big Pun’s “Still Not a Player”), her first major single is a pure expression of jubilance, propped up by flirty come-ons in a his-and-hers tradeoff with rapper Mac Miller. It’s something that extends to “Be My Baby,” co-produced with Benny Blanco and Lido, included as a mid-album cut on 2014’s “My Everything.” Grande plays with tempo and pace as her vocals skitter across the glitchy production, and by the time she scrapes the high note in the last chorus, it’s clear that there’s something more to their collaborative process than what one might expect.
