Ariana Grande… When I hear this name I always look back to the times when she was singing “Hey yeah yeah hey yeah yeah, if we give a little love maybe we can change the world” wearing a cute pink dress. I also recall a girl role-playing as Greyson Chance’s ex-girlfriend in his video “Unfriend You.” No person could easily dismiss Ariana Grande’s beauty and allure at her young age, especially with her slick reddish hair and fab facial features, but right now, she’s way too gorgeous. In her, a woman has grown as well as her in the music industry. Now, her name is up in lights and her fandom has just became wider and wider. Along with various collaborations with artists such as Big Sean, Iggy Azalea and Calvin Harris, she has paved the way onto stardom. With the song, “Break Free,” Ariana certainly broke out of her small shell and let her light shine across the universe. I can just imagine her singing this line with great passion: Let's find a light inside our universe now where ain't nobody keep on holding us down. That line came from her fresh new song “Focus” produced By Ilya Salmanzadeh and Max Martin, written by Ariana Grande, Ilya, and Peter Svensson.
First time hearing the chorus, I was like “Woahh? It sounds like a track on where she and Iggy Azalea collaborated on which was ‘Problem’ but this one was a little less catchy and a bit narcissistic at the first listen. This song starts slow at first and then getting faster at the chorus. This song certainly emphasizes Ariana’s amazing vocals that the song digs deep into your ears when you listen to it.
“Focus on me, f-f-focus on me. Focus on me, f-f-focus on me.”
“Focus” is all about ignoring the haters and the bashers and simply enjoy life. It is the first single from Ariana’s third albumMoonlight.”“
She uploaded a vlog entitled “Focus” to her YouTube channel three weeks before the song’s release that hinted about its meaning. In her statement, I have realized she was not trying to too full of herself in the song: I’m not asking to be the center of attention. […] I literally mean “focus on me,” on what I’m all about and what I believe in. The more we focus on each other, as people and not on what we look like, not what we’re wearing, our gender, our hairstyle, our sexuality, the color of our skin, but focus on each other on a soul level. The more we realize how much we have in common, the more we listen to each other, the more one we become. “
Ariana has really grown into a woman full of talent and of self-goals. She creates beautiful music and inspires people to go beyond their boundaries. Ariana definitely puts the GRAND in Grande. Her song “Focus” says them all.
