"Break Your Heart Right Back" ft. Childish Gambino - This song, which samples Diana Ross's “I'm Coming Out,” is about a boy cheating on his girl with a guy. According to Ariana, this topic hits home considering she believes this happened to her. This is one of the best produced tracks on the album. Childish Gambino completely nails the feature with a Biggie-inspired flow and Ariana gives life with her breakdowns.(Photos from left: Ethan Miller/Getty Images, Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

"Love Me Harder" ft. The Weeknd - Ariana Grande and The Weeknd deliver an amazing duet with a beat that complements both their voices.
