19. “Break Free” (Everything Is My Own2014, p. : Can you imagine being in public and hearing Break Free? And not losing your s- -t.
18. “pete davidson” (Sweetener, 2018): The fact that Ariana named an entire song—a song that will outlive all of us—after Pete Davidson, just makes me stan even harder. Love is what she’s all about, folks! FANTASTIC love song, “pete Davidson”. In an ideal world, we’d eventually get a 10-minute version of the song à la T. Swift’s “All Too Well.”
17. “needy” (We are grateful for your next, 2019): Ariana started teasing “needy” long before the track made its way onto thank u, next, but thankfully, that didn’t take away from it at all. The track, instead, is one of my favorite tracks.
16. “goodnight n go” (Sweetener(2018): Ariana gave her spin to the 2018 edition Imogen Heap‘s song of the same name, and the result was a dreamy melody that combines her best traits with those of Heap, who just so happens to be one of Ariana’s all-time favorite artists.
15. “One Last Time” (All I Need, 2014): Taking on a deeper meaning after the 2017 Manchester attacks—it was re-released to raise money for those affected by the tragedy—”One Last Time” is a special song for many of her fans, but even on its own, the track is bursting at the seams with sincerity and emotion, making the listening experience quite cathartic.
14. “The Way” (feat. Mac Miller It’s Yours Only(2013, p. 3): The Way “shouldn’t have been as” It’s Yours OnlyIt wasn’t the single that was to become her first. This song reached number 10, and later climbed to #9 on Billboard Hot 100. It was Ariana and Mac Miller’s first Hot 100 Hot 100 hits. “The Way”, despite its commercial success, is still a great song and a joy to listen.
13. “Be Alright” (A Dangerous Woman2016: Is it possible to be an Ariana Fan if you do not know the choreography for “Be Alright?”
12. “breathin” (Sweetener, 2018): Ariana gets candid about her struggles with anxiety and her mental health on “breathin,” but the song is relatively calming, and at its best, a reminder to keep going no matter what.
11. “Honeymoon Avenue” (It’s Yours Only 2013): A timeless bop that combined many of the elements that would come to define her musical style—R&B, doo-wop and, of course, big vocals—it doesn’t get more Ariana Grande than “Honeymoon Avenue.” Rarely, is the debut track so powerful.
