“Into You,” “no tears left to cry,” and “thank u, next” are among the strongest places to start with Ariana Grande—but her best work also includes intimate album cuts, theatrical vocal showcases, and collaborations that stretch well beyond pop. This is an editorial ranking, not an official or universal canon: it weighs songwriting and performance, memorable production, cultural recognition, and how well each recording represents a different side of Grande’s sound.

The list counts songs led by Grande, including credited features and soundtrack recordings, as well as a small number of prominent collaborations. It includes work from her eight studio albums, through petal, released in July 2026. Universal Music Canada announced that album’s release and its 12-track sequence; those label-reported details are not an independent audit of every credit or chart record.

The 60 best Ariana Grande songs

  1. “Into You”

    A sleek, urgent dance-pop performance that puts Grande’s control and vocal lift at the service of a song built to keep moving. It is an ideal starting point for listeners who want her at her most immediate and euphoric.

  2. “no tears left to cry”

    Bright, elastic production gives this song a buoyant surface, while Grande’s measured delivery makes its resilience feel earned rather than effortless. It is one of the clearest intersections of her pop instincts and more vulnerable writing.

    thank u, next[Clear 2 LP]
    • thank u, next is the 5th studio album from Ariana Grande
  3. “thank u, next”

    Grande turns a personal reckoning into concise, instantly legible pop. Its plainspoken gratitude and self-possession made it a defining statement of her public songwriting voice.

  4. “God is a woman”

    A sensual, expansive vocal showcase, this track combines a slow-burn groove with a bold, self-assured point of view. Grande’s phrasing supplies much of its force.

  5. “we can’t be friends (wait for your love)”

    Grande makes emotional distance sound delicate rather than cold. The restraint in her performance gives the song’s push and pull room to register.

  6. “The Way” (feat. Mac Miller)

    Warm, playful, and built around an easy vocal exchange, this early hit established a lighter, more conversational side of Grande’s sound. The Recording Academy includes it as an early marker in its retrospective of her musical growth.

  7. “Problem” (feat. Iggy Azalea)

    The brassy hook and contrasting feature turn this into a sharp, high-energy pop record. Grande’s bright delivery holds the center even as the production keeps changing color.

  8. “7 rings”

    A deliberately extravagant pop statement, “7 rings” is memorable for its confident persona and instantly recognizable melodic choices. Grande’s performance makes the track’s playful excess part of its appeal.

  9. “pov”

    One of Grande’s most tender performances, “pov” focuses on the difficulty of seeing oneself through a loved one’s generous eyes. Its soft approach offers a useful counterpoint to her maximalist singles.

  10. “One Last Time”

    This dramatic pop ballad lets Grande build from regret to a full, open-throated chorus. The emotional clarity of the vocal is the song’s lasting strength.

  11. “Dangerous Woman”

    A slow, controlled build gives Grande space to make the title’s confidence feel like a transformation. It is one of her most effective vocal showcases from a more adult, self-possessed pop era.

  12. “positions”

    Light, nimble production and an unforced vocal make this an especially graceful entry in Grande’s catalog. The Recording Academy’s 2025 career retrospective treats the song as part of her continuing movement across styles.

  13. “Santa Tell Me”

    Grande gives the holiday song a bright pop hook and a familiar romantic uncertainty, making it feel more like a characterful original than seasonal background music.

  14. “Break Free” (feat. Zedd)

    With its electronic drive and unabashedly big chorus, this is Grande in full dance-pop release. The contrast between her agile vocal and the production’s scale makes it an enduring entry point.

    • Positions is the sixth studio album by Ariana Grande, released in 2020 on Republic Records
  15. “Side to Side” (feat. Nicki Minaj)

    A relaxed reggae-pop pulse gives the song its distinctive sway, while the pairing of Grande and Nicki Minaj supplies contrasting vocal personalities. It is a strong example of Grande making a feature feel integral to the track.

  16. “Love Me Harder” (with The Weeknd)

    This dark, polished duet thrives on tension: two distinctive voices circle the same desire without flattening into one another. The Recording Academy highlights it among the songs in its account of Grande’s musical development.

  17. “Tattooed Heart”

    A retro-leaning ballad that foregrounds the richness and control of Grande’s voice. The Recording Academy’s retrospective points to the song as an early example of the vocal and stylistic range she would continue to develop.

  18. “Moonlight”

    Soft-focus and romantic, “Moonlight” shows how effective Grande can be when she keeps the arrangement gentle and lets the melody carry the feeling. It is among the quieter highlights of her early catalog.

  19. “needy”

    Grande’s close, conversational performance makes vulnerability feel direct rather than ornamental. The song’s compactness suits its honest admission of emotional need.

  20. “breathin”

    A propulsive beat gives this song forward motion, while its focus on managing anxiety keeps the emotional stakes close to the listener. It pairs a useful message with a genuinely strong pop arrangement.

  21. “bad idea”

    Restless production and a knowingly conflicted vocal make this one of Grande’s most compelling accounts of choosing a distraction even when she knows better. Its shifts in intensity keep the song from settling into a simple confession.

  22. “fake smile”

    There is a satisfying friction between the song’s smooth surface and its refusal to pretend everything is fine. Grande’s phrasing carries the song’s fatigue without losing its pop polish.

  23. “ghostin”

    One of her most exposed recordings, “ghostin” holds grief and intimacy in the same frame. The restrained vocal and spacious arrangement make its emotional weight feel especially immediate.

  24. “imagine”

    Grande turns an idealized romance into something wistful and fragile. The song’s vocal runs are striking, but its quieter sense of longing is what stays with you.

  25. “NASA”

    A clever space metaphor becomes a case for independence and breathing room. Grande keeps the performance playful, giving the song’s boundary-setting a light touch.

  26. “in my head”

    This track captures the gap between a person and the idealized version of them someone has imagined. Its polished, uneasy atmosphere suits Grande’s clear-eyed vocal.

    Rank #3
    Sweetener[2 LP]
    • Ariana Grande released her fourth studio album, Sweetener, in August 2018 via Republic Records
  27. “34+35”

    A knowingly cheeky pop record, “34+35” is driven by a nimble hook and Grande’s relaxed comic timing. It shows that her flirtier material works best when she sounds fully in on the joke.

  28. “safety net” (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)

    This understated duet focuses on the fear and thrill of falling in love. Grande and Ty Dolla $ign leave enough space in the arrangement for the uncertainty to feel real.

  29. “my hair”

    A silky groove and playful vocal choices make this a showcase for Grande’s range without turning the song into a vocal obstacle course. Its intimacy is part of its charm.

  30. “just like magic”

    Light and self-assured, this song turns optimism into a crisp pop performance. Its breezy confidence provides a change of pace from the heavier emotional material around it.

    Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  31. “Everytime”

    Grande gives a turbulent relationship a sleek, restless sound. The song’s shifts in momentum match the pull of returning to something that may not be good for you.

  32. “Be Alright”

    A buoyant groove and an encouraging refrain make this a warm, low-pressure source of comfort. Grande’s lightness is the point: reassurance does not have to sound grand to land.

  33. “Greedy”

    Bright, brassy, and vocally agile, “Greedy” is one of Grande’s most joyful performances. Its exuberance makes it a standout for listeners looking for her pure pop side.

  34. “Leave Me Lonely” (feat. Macy Gray)

    A dramatic arrangement gives Grande and Macy Gray room to trade contrasting textures. The song’s theatrical scale makes it one of the more distinctive corners of Dangerous Woman.

  35. “blazed” (feat. Pharrell Williams)

    Pharrell Williams’ buoyant production brings out a lighter, more elastic side of Grande’s voice. The Recording Academy includes it among the songs that illustrate the breadth of her catalog.

  36. “better off”

    Instead of reaching for a huge climax, Grande lets this breakup song drift with a calm, almost relieved acceptance. That restraint makes it one of her more affecting album tracks.

  37. “get well soon”

    Gentle and empathetic, this song offers support without pretending that recovery is instant. Grande’s warm performance makes its care feel personal.

  38. “the boy is mine”

    A sleek, flirtatious performance built around a familiar pop premise, this track gives Grande room to play with attitude and vocal texture. It is a more theatrical turn in her recent catalog.

    • Positions is the sixth studio album by Ariana Grande, released in 2020 on Republic Records
  39. “yes, and?”

    Over a club-ready beat, Grande answers public scrutiny with a dance-floor stance rather than a detailed explanation. The song’s confidence is part of its design.

  40. “eternal sunshine”

    This title track favors complicated feeling over a clean breakup narrative. Its cool surface and inward-looking writing make it one of the album’s most revealing moments.

  41. “the boy is mine (remix)” (with Brandy and Monica)

    Bringing Brandy and Monica into the song connects Grande’s version to a well-known R&B collaboration while giving the performers room to share the spotlight. The result is most rewarding as a three-way vocal event.

  42. “Hampstead”

    A reflective, comparatively unguarded song that closes with a sense of emotional release. The Recording Academy’s 2025 retrospective uses “Hampstead” as a late-career point of comparison with “The Way,” framing Grande’s writing as a continuing evolution rather than a fixed style.

  43. “ordinary things” (feat. Nonna)

    This affectionate closer finds meaning in everyday gestures instead of grand declarations. The featured appearance gives the song a personal, conversational finish.

  44. “supernatural”

    A polished, weightless pop track that suits Grande’s ability to move between delicate phrasing and a larger chorus. Its appeal lies in the ease of that transition.

  45. “imperfect for you”

    Intimate and forgiving, this song values an imperfect connection over an idealized romance. Grande’s softness makes it feel less like a slogan than a considered choice.

  46. “Daydreamin’”

    This early album track is sweet without being slight, built around the feeling of getting carried away by a new crush. It is a useful glimpse of Grande’s lighter early songwriting.

    Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  47. “Right There” (feat. Big Sean)

    A bright R&B-pop track with a playful feature, “Right There” points toward the conversational duet style Grande would revisit in later collaborations.

  48. “Focus”

    Big, polished, and boldly theatrical, “Focus” is a distinctive standalone pop turn. It earns its place for the scale of the performance and the force of its hook.

  49. “Rain On Me” (with Lady Gaga)

    Grande and Lady Gaga turn hardship into an unabashed dance-pop release. The Recording Academy’s artist profile lists the collaboration among Grande’s Grammy wins, a recognition that contextualizes its visibility without making awards the measure of its quality.

  50. “Save Your Tears (Remix)” (with The Weeknd)

    Grande’s clear, high vocal gives The Weeknd’s sleek pop song a new duet dynamic. It works because the remix feels like an exchange, not simply an added vocal.

    Best Value
    eternal sunshine[Ruby LP] [Alt Cover]
    • eternal sunshine is Ariana Grande's seventh studio album, featuring the #1 lead single, "Yes, And?" Available on ruby colored vinyl with alternate cover
  51. “Defying Gravity” (with Cynthia Erivo)

    This theatrical duet puts Grande in a different performance mode, emphasizing sustained power and stage presence. The Recording Academy profile includes it among her Grammy-nominated work.

  52. “kiss me”

    One of the tracks on petal, “kiss me” opens a new chapter in Grande’s studio-album catalog. Universal Music Canada announced the album’s 12-song tracklist in July 2026; the label says Grande and ILYA co-wrote and produced the album, with Max Martin joining them on three tracks, but does not specify that credit for this song.

  53. “hate that i made you love me”

    Grande leads petal with a title that suggests regret and emotional consequence. Universal Music Canada reported that the single debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and called it her tenth career chart-topper; those are the label’s reported chart claims.

  54. “petal”

    The title track is part of the 12-song album Universal Music Canada announced as Grande’s eighth studio album. Its place here recognizes the importance of the new album in the current catalog, not a claim that one fresh release has already accumulated the history of her earlier hits.

  55. “stay”

    A track from petal, “stay” belongs to Grande’s latest album era. Its inclusion gives the ranking room for the current catalog alongside the songs that established her earlier sound.

  56. “oh well”

    Among the 12 tracks on petal, “oh well” adds another title to explore for listeners following Grande’s newest work.

  57. “big feelings”

    This petal track fits naturally into a catalog where Grande has increasingly made emotional candor part of her pop writing.

  58. “freak”

    “Freak” is one of the songs on petal, the eighth studio album identified in Universal Music Canada’s 2026 release announcement.

  59. “warning signs (interlude)”

    This brief interlude is part of petal’s announced sequence. It earns a place in a catalog-spanning list as an album moment, though an interlude is not the same kind of standalone song as the full-length singles around it.

  60. “like i do”

    One of petal’s 12 announced tracks, “like i do” extends the album’s place in Grande’s evolving studio-album story.

  61. “never get over me”

    This petal track closes the ranking’s look at Grande’s newest album era. The July 2026 label announcement confirms the song’s inclusion on the album, but does not establish an independent critical or chart standing for it.

How to use this list

For a quick introduction, start with the first five songs, then compare the dance-pop rush of “Break Free” with the close-up emotion of “ghostin” or “pov.” To hear Grande’s range most clearly, move between a major collaboration, an intimate album track, and a theatrical performance rather than listening only to the singles.
