"Its 6/8 time signature adds a bit of a waltz flavor, channeling the old school Ariana that fans first fell in love with. But a sultry, distorted guitar line and Grande's passionate, soaring vocals add a sense of texture and modernity that makes "Dangerous Woman" feel as powerful as the title."

So happy that I finally got around to making my friends listen to this song. Even the ones who do not like her, actually think this is a good song. Slay Ari
I haven't said anything yet. But I can't keep it in anymore. Her vocals in this. OH MY GOD. Those lower register notes!! I can't even process the heavenliness of her voice in this song!
No worries guys. I think that it's gonna fall a bit, but this doesn't seem like it will just straight out flop like Focus. We should just accept that she probably lost her record ()...Queen will have more records to break
I do think they should've released a good quality lyric video to tie us over until the video
So proud of this girl and the sound she decided to experiment with. I honestly never saw it coming, but it worked out beautifully.
I understood why Focus flopped, but this song is so universal imo. It's got a little rock, soul, even a bit of country, and a pop chorus. I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least a decent hit. I predict a #5 peak.
And tbh, I don't care about the record. It's more important to me she have longevity.
