Ariana Grande-Butera (born June 26, 1993), known professionally as Ariana Grande (/ˌɑːriːˈɑːnə ˈɡrɑːndeɪ/), is an American singer and actress. She began her career in the Broadway musical 13, before landing the role of Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon television series Victorious in 2009. After four seasons, the show ended, and Grande starred on the spinoff, Sam & Cat, which ended in 2014. She has also appeared in other theatre, television and film roles and lent her voice to animated television and films.
Grande's music career began with the soundtrack Music from Victorious (2011). She signed a recording contract with Republic Records and released her debut studio album Yours Truly in 2013, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. The album's lead single, "The Way", reached the top-ten of the Billboard Hot 100, with critics comparing her wide vocal range to Mariah Carey's.
Grande's second studio album, My Everything (2014), also reached number one in the United States and charted well in various other countries. With the singles "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang" and "Love Me Harder" from that album, she spent 34 continuous weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and had the most top 10 singles of any artist in 2014. In 2015, Grande promoted My Everything with her first world tour, The Honeymoon Tour, and guest-starred in the Fox comedy-horror TV series Scream Queens. She also released the lead single "Focus" from her upcoming third album, released a holiday EP album, Christmas & Chill, and was heard on several collaborative projects.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Baby, I think of you
Think of you a million times a day
Baby, I-I cannot
I cannot get you outside my head
Maybe I'm crazy
And if so it's â'cause of you
All that I know is I belong to you, oh, baby
I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love
Baby, and I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love, gimme your love
Baby, I realize
You could take complete control of me
I don't care, anywhere
Anytime is fine, it's cool with me
Maybe I'm crazy and if so it's all â'bout you
All that I know is I belong with you, oh, baby
I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love
Baby, and I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love, gimme your love
Night after night (Night after night), dream after dream (Dream after dream)
You're there inside of my heart (Inside of me)
Day after day (day after day), there's no escape
I want you inside of my arms
Baby, I gotta be
Gotta be the only one you see
Tell me, boy, what you need
I will be providin' everything
Maybe I'm crazy
And if so it's all â'bout you
All that I know is I belong with you, oh, baby
I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love
Baby, and I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love, gimme your love
I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love
Baby, and I want your love, I need your love
Gimme your love, gimme your love, gimme your love
