She continued improving her musical skills while still acting and released her first single ‘Put Your Hearts Up,’ in 2011. However, she degraded the song and its video for its teen vibe.

Ariana released her third album ‘Dangerous Woman’, in 2016 and worked with established singers, including Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Macy Gray, and The Future. The album’s theme was female disobedience, love, and unhealthy relationships. Although it was a mix of pop and R&B, it incorporated other genres, including electropop, reggae, dance disco, and trap. The album brought out Ariana’s vocal mastery and ability to combine various musical genres and mature lyrics.

Four singles supported the album, including ‘side to side’, which appeared in the top ten U.S. Billboard 200 hot 100, ‘Dangerous Woman’, and ‘Into You’.
