4 of the Best Ariana Grande Collaborations

1. “Save Your Tears” (with The Weeknd)

Grande has several collaborations with The Weeknd, but we are partial to “Save Your Tears.” This dark R&B ballad is the perfect marriage between both artists’ voices. Moreover, it boasts an insatiably catchy melody that isn’t easily forgotten.

I saw you dancing in a crowded room, uh
You look so happy when I’m not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye

2. “Dance To This” (with Troye Sivan)

Grande and Troye Sivan joined forces in 2018 for “Dance To This.” Though Sivan is a major star in own right these days, a collaboration with Grande back then was more than a leg up in his career. Grande expertly delivers her vocals here, carefully harmonizing with Sivan.

We can just dance to this
Don’t take much to start me
We can just dance to this
Push up on my body, yeah
You know we’ve already seen all of the parties
We can just dance to this

3. “Rain On Me” (with Lady Gaga)

Switching sonic gears, the next stop on our list is Grande’s duet with Lady Gaga, “Rain On Me.” In keeping with Gaga’s clubby sound, Grande adds soaring high notes over pulsing beats.

It’s coming down on me
Water like misery
It’s coming down on me
I’m ready, rain on me

I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me

4. “34 +35” (with Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion)

Nothing gives a song a revamp better than a celebrity remix. Grande got two major voices on her remix of “34+35”: Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. While this song was already enticing, the addition of these two rap stars adds even more intrigue.

You might think I’m crazy
The way I’ve been cravin’
If I put it quite plainly
Just gimme them babies
So, what you doing tonight?
Better say, “Doin’ you right”
Watchin’ movies, but we ain’t seen a thing tonight
