Artist: Ariana Grande

    featuring Zedd

    If you want it, take it

    I should have said it before

    Tried to hide it, fake it

    I can’t pretend anymore

    I only want to die alive

    Never by the hands of a broken heart

    I don’t wanna hear you lie tonight

    Now that I’ve become who I really am

    This is the part when I say I don’t want it

    I’m stronger than I’ve been before

    This is the part when I break free

    Cause I can’t resist it no more

    You were better, deeper

    I was under a spell

    Like a deadly fear I am, babe

    On the highway to hell

    (Our love baby, oooh)

    The thought on your body

    I came alive

    It was lethal

    It was fatal

    In my dreams it felt so right

    But I woke up and pretend

    Oh baby

    Background

    Possibly the club anthem of the summer, “Break Free” shows that the singer is not all power ballads and throwback ‘90s jams, but, rather, is dipping her toes into exciting new waters for her upcoming record.

    The album follows her 2013 debut “Yours Truly,” which featured the singles “The Way” and “Baby I.”

    The singer has collaborated with “Clarity” hitmaker Zedd on the new track, which is taken from her forthcoming album “My Everything.” Zedd recently praised Grande’s “unique” and “special” voice, saying it has a “unique texture.”

    The production work from Zedd is great as always, with the ending bit being epic, and Grande’s vocals are strong and blend well.
