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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
