10 Ariana Grande Songs You Need to Listen To

I don't know about you, but almost every time I turn on my radio, I hear an Ariana Grande song. This girl has gone from performing in musicals to starring on Nickelodeon shows to selling out arenas. And she's only 23! By now everyone knows the lyrics to "Dangerous Woman," the hit single from Grande's latest album with the same title. Here are 10 songs by this powerful singer you need to listen to that aren't on the radio (yet).

1. "Tattooed Heart"

Grande goes old school in this '50s-style tune, singing about how she wants to go steady and be wrapped up in her boy's jacket like they did back then. Her vocals are strong, yet effortless, and you can't help but snap along to the rhythm.

2. "Be My Baby" (featuring Cashmere Cat)


This song is fun thanks to Grande's airy vocals and the upbeat melody. While physical aspects may not be the most important part of a relationship, Grande reminds us that they do still matter.

3. "Thinking Bout You"


This song can be interpreted a few different ways, so give it a listen and see what you think. Whatever meaning you pull from it, we can all agree that Grande's vocals are once again beautiful on this track.

4. "Popular Song" (with MIKA)


Grande has been known to sample quite a bit in her songs, and this one is no different. Using a line and melody from Wicked's "Popular," this song is catchy while being slightly humorous in a dark manner. Also, the video depicts karma at its finest.

5. "Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart"


Believe it or not, this song was written by One Direction's Harry Styles. Grande's vocals shine on this beautifully heartbreaking number about wanting someone but knowing you'll never be their first choice. Get the tissues out for this one.

6. "Bad Decisions"


One of my absolute favorite lines sung by Grande is in the bridge of this song. She's sassy and isn't afraid to speak her mind about how she doesn't care what others think of her and her relationships. All in all, this song is a banger.

7. "You Don't Know Me"


Grande tells off all the haters in this song about how the media may portray her differently than her true self. She reminds people of the old saying: "Until you walk a mile in my shoes, you don't know me."

8. "Touch It"


If you're looking for a song that builds and has fantastic melodies, you've found your match. "Touch It" has honest -- yet risque -- lyrics, again dealing with a relationship. Grande hits some signature high notes in the last chorus that are sure to give you goosebumps.

9. "Honeymoon Avenue"

"Honeymoon Avenue" is one giant metaphor for a relationship, describing the ups and downs of being with someone. Be sure to check out Grande's video for "Into You" to see a wink at this older song.

10. "Greedy"


This has song it all: catchy melody, overlapping vocals, fun lyrics, and inspiration from the past. You'll definitely find yourself belting -- well, at least trying to belt -- along with Grande by the end of this tune.

If you're already a fan or just became one after listening to these songs, be on the lookout for tickets and dates for Ariana Grande's upcoming tour, which is said to be taking place late 2016 through early 2017.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
