20. Bad Decisions (Dangerous Woman, 2016)
“Ariana has a beautiful voice. She should be the top singer. Her voice is so perfect for this song and I love it. Catchy, listening to this song would not be a bad decision.”
19. Right There (Yours Truly, 2013)
“This is one of my favorite song on her album because it’s catchy, and she does amazing vocals in it. I love this song because the tune and lyrics are really catchy and I really love listening to it.”
18. Bad Idea (thank u, next, 2019)
“This song is so amazing and underrated. I love the part where she sings ari-Chan that was so adorable! This needs more love! Such a catchy and underrated song, really amazing!”
17. Greedy (Dangerous Woman, 2016)
“This song is incredible. It’s so different to other songs in DW because it starts with so much energy and keeps going. This song shows why she is a singer and why she loves this. This is truly one of her best songs.”

16. Breathin (Sweetener, 2018)
“The lyrics as a whole are simple and repetitive, but every word is packed with meaning. You really get a sense that after a brutal and devastatingly public and invasive year of 2018 for Ariana in particular, she really GETS the message, every time she effusively gushes, “Just keep breathin’, and breathin’, and breathin’, and breathin’.” Every time she sings that line, I can feel that she’s really feeling it. She’s really taking it in and reminding herself to breathe, too.
15. Thank U, Next (thank u, next, 2019)
“First impression: this song sounds so pretty. Lyrics entirely aside, I just love songs where Ariana reins in her magnificent voice and sings lower, softer notes. Her voice sounds spectacularly beautiful in this song, especially with the delicate, watery, electric piano-led chords behind her.”
14. Side to Side (Dangerous Woman, 2016)
“I love how she used the reggae style, it’s a great song and everything fits perfectly. Her voice, Nicki’s rap, and the beat is amazing. It’s truly a bop”
13. Focus (Dangerous Woman, 2016)
“I agree that Focus is quite similar to Problem but at the same time it doesn’t mean it’s not addictive or catchy as hell cause it is. Even though the chorus is extremely weird but oddly enough I got used to it. Ariana sounds great as always. What pisses me off are the haters themselves finding a lame excuse to hate Ariana by talking about how much they hate the song or because of that silly donut incident. Not her best but it’s still a good song though. I feel like that her performance at the AMAs made the song a lot better, I don’t why but it did”
12. Put Your Hearts Up (Put Your Hearts Up, 2011)
“I love this and Right There, but @Nandani, I think the reason Ariana Grande didn’t like this song, because it was more Cat Valentine than Ariana Grande. She wanted to make a song I think in reference to her herself Ariana Grande instead of just Cat. I’m not sure I’m explaining properly.”
11. Popular Song (Popular Song, 2012)
“A lot of people can relate to not being popular. This song is about someone who was popular who was probably tormenting Ariana but then she proves that she can be more popular than the popular person. It’s a very catchy song, couldn’t get it out of my head for months”
10. Into You (Dangerous Woman, 2016)
“The beat is amazing, and the chorus is FANTASTIC. A really good chorus, and the backing vocals fit perfectly and her voice is just beautiful. This is a pop masterpiece”
9. Honeymoon Avenue (Yours Truly, 2013)
“Honestly, I like the song but I didn’t get the meaning of it. Was it saying that her relationship with someone was taking the wrong turn and she wanted to go back to the point before it became tainted and change everything?”
8. Baby I (Yours Truly, 2013)
“In my opinion this is an awesome song with good lyrics and a good meaning she has a big vocal and an amazing talent people should admire her for what she does”
7. No Tears Left to Cry (No Tears Left to Cry,2018)
“This song is so uplifting and bright…I love it. Definitely not a disappointment. Every 1st song of each of her eras is amazing to be honest so, I am not surprised this is a bop. Queen serve them hits yas!”

6. Dangerous Woman (Dangerous Woman, 2016)
“This song is definitely one of Ariana’s best songs. The lyrics are surprisingly well written, I like the instrumentation and the sexy vocals are amazing. This song definitely stands out as the most mature track since Love Me Harder cause both songs explore mature themes. Even the music video makes the song even more sexy where Ariana basically sings in her underwear for 3 and a half minutes and it’s surprisingly enticing I’m not gonna lie. It’s such a shame so many sad saps from internet trash her for all of the lies they’ve been hearing from the media and that silly donut incident. Ariana should be well known for her impeccable vocal talent, not what is she doing in her personal life.”
5. Love Me Harder (My Everything, 2014)
“This song made me fall in love with Ariana Grande! I heard a few of her other songs after this but none of them quite match up to this one. Her voice is so amazing, and the song is extremely catchy. Love it!”
4. One Last Time (My Everything, 2014)
“I love this song so much because it’s a very nice song and I love the music video, this song just makes me feel very happy but all of Ariana’s songs are the best in my opinion but this one is my favorite, I love to just sing along to it and pretend I’m with her in the music video.”
3. Break Free (My Everything, 2014)
“This song makes me feel more comfortable and makes me wanna dance. The song gives faith. With this song I believe more in myself.”
2. Problem (My Everything, 2014)
“This is one of my favorite songs and I have to admit I’m obsessed with Ariana Grande I can’t go a day without listening to her. Problem is my favorite song and I love Iggy azalea too I love the song fancy”
1. The Way (Now That’s What I Call Music! 46, 2013)
“That being said, this is a pretty decent pop song. Even though it’s fairly straight forward in its 90’s RNB and Mariah Carey-like delivery and the fact that is not nearly as good as Carey’s recent single with Miguel, it’s just a fun song. The way her vocals bounce to the excitement of what’s she saying is just great. The piano from a Brenda Russell piece just perfectly compliments her energy. It’s just a fun pop song.”
