Grande sought for My Everything to sound as "an evolution" from her debut album Yours Truly (2013), exploring more mature and diverse lyrical content and musical styles. Primarily a pop, R&B and electropop record, it expands on the 1990s retro-R&B and hip hop style of its predecessor, while also approaching new genres such as EDM, and dance-pop. Iggy Azalea, Zedd, Big Sean, Cashmere Cat, Childish Gambino, the Weeknd, and ASAP Ferg make guest appearances on My Everything, while Jessie J and Nicki Minaj appear on the deluxe edition.

My Everything charted at number one in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Norway, and the United States while reaching the top five in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The album also received multi-platinum certifications in Canada, Denmark, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It received generally favorable reviews from music critics, appearing in year-end best-music lists of 2014. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in 2015, My Everything was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album.

My Everything was supported by four singles, all of which reached global success. The lead single, "Problem", broke numerous digital sales records upon release, and peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. The second single, "Break Free", reached number four in the United States. The third and fourth singles, "Love Me Harder" and "One Last Time", peaked at numbers seven and thirteen, respectively, with the latter reaching number two in the United Kingdom. The deluxe version also features the single "Bang Bang", which reached a peak position of three. Aided by My Everything's singles, Grande attained the most top ten hits for any artist in 2014 on the Hot 100. To further support the album, Grande embarked on the Honeymoon Tour in 2015.

Background and recording

It's an album that I want to do a little bit different. I don't want it to sound like an extension of Yours Truly. I want it to sound like an evolution. I want to explore more sounds and experiment a little bit. I have a bunch of ideas I'm very excited about and a lot of stuff cooking.

Grande, on the album[3]

Grande's debut studio album, Yours Truly, was released on August 30, 2013,[4] and was met with critical acclaim.[5] Later that month, she begun writing and working on her second studio album and had already completed two songs.[3] Recording sessions began in October with Grande working with previous producers from her debut album Harmony Samuels and Tommy Brown.[6][7] In January 2014, Grande confirmed she had been working with new producers Ryan Tedder, Savan Kotecha, Benny Blanco, Key Wane and Max Martin.[8] Grande stated in late February that she wanted to name her album after a song she had finished that weekend that is very honest and makes her cry.[9]

In March, it was announced that Grande would be featured on the fifth single from Chris Brown's album X titled "Don't Be Gone Too Long", and it was originally set for release on March 25; however, it was postponed to April due to Brown being sent to jail awaiting trial on assault charges.[10] On March 17, Grande held a live stream to make up for the single's delay, where she previewed four new songs from her then upcoming second studio album.[11][12] Two days following the announcement, Grande revealed that due to the song's delay, she would be releasing the first single from her upcoming second studio album instead.[13] She finished working on the album in late May 2014,[14] confirming the title of the album (to be My Everything) and the release date (to be August 25) on June 28.[15] The photos for the packaging in the album were taken on May 27.[16] Grande stated that she chose the cover artwork because she felt that "each song is so strongly themed that I just wanted to have a very simple overall cover. So that within each song we could create more visual themes."[17]

Music and lyrics

In My Everything, Grande focuses on her sound of pop, R&B, and electropop.[18][19] Its tracks include tunes of EDM, hip hop and piano-driven ballads,[18][20] described by Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly as "lyrically bland, sonically inoffensive, and artistically empty".[21] Rolling Stone author Rob Sheffield depicted My Everything's tracks as a "confident, intelligent, [and] brazen pop" songs that combine bubblegum pop vocals with EDM-influenced productions.[22] The album revisits the 1990s retro-R&B style present in Yours Truly; Annie Zaleski from The A.V. Club described the album as a "slick throwback to melodramatic '80s and '90s pop".[23] According to Pitchfork's Meaghan Garvey, it places greater emphasis on upbeat and dance-oriented songs than the ballad-driven approach of Yours Truly, reflecting a "refreshingly grown-up".[24]

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that My Everything marked a more contemporary musical direction, as Grande collaborated with a wide range of modern producers and guest artists throughout the album.[25] The record alternates between themes of heartbreak and sexuality, while occasionally revealing more personal moments;[26] it explores ballads and more emotionally earnest material in the songs like the title track and "Love Me Harder".[27] My Everything also revisits relationship-centered themes such as resisting unwanted partners, coping with breakups, and navigating idealized romances in "Problem", "Best Mistake", "My Everything", and "Only 1".[28]

Songs

My Everything opens with "Intro", in which Grande addresses her fans: "I'll give you all I have and nothing less."[29] The second track is the lead single "Problem", a dance track filled with saxophone sounds,[30] jazz and funk.[31] Rap-Up described the track as an "infectious horn-heavy jam" that features a "carefree" Grande "declaring her independence". It includes "an empowering verse from Iggy Azalea and a whispering Big Sean on the hook."[32] "One Last Time" is a dance-pop and EDM-light song.[29][33] The album continues with "Why Try", co-written and co-produced by Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco and features the lyrics "Now we're screaming just to see who's louder".[18] Some critics expressed an opinion that the song has a similar composition with American singer Beyoncé's "XO" (2013; also produced by Tedder).[22]

The album's fifth track is "Break Free",[34] which infuses the sound with electro genres.[35][36] In an interview with Billboard, Grande described the song as "fantastic and super-experimental for [her]", as most of her previous work had been more urban and R&B-driven, stating: "I never thought I'd do an EDM song, but that was an eye-opening experience, and now all I want to do is dance."[8] The album's first of three ballads, "Best Mistake", features Big Sean. Jason Lipshutz of the same publication described it as "a moody ballad that grows stickier upon each listen", stating that it "carries a tidy collection of impressive production details, the momentary string stabs among them".[18] Musically, it is a minimal R&B and hip-hop piano ballad lament that utilizes instrumentation from strings and a drum machine. It tells a story about a couple trying to "make up their minds about the future of their relationship, with deep affection buried underneath their problems."[37][23][38] "Be My Baby" featuring Cashmere Cat is an R&B track,[29] compared with American singer Mariah Carey's songs.[18] The eighth track is "Break Your Heart Right Back"—an R&B number featuring Childish Gambino. It is about a cheating boyfriend and samples Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out", including vocals and guitar.[29][18]

"Love Me Harder", featuring the Weeknd, is a mid-tempo synthpop and R&B song,[39][40][41] which starts small before its "'throbbing', electro-heavy chorus",[29] with a guitar riff,[18] while "big vacuum-esque synths zip" can be heard throughout the track.[42] Rob Copsey wrote for Official Charts that the song reminded him of Canadian rapper Drake at his most emotional.[29] Lyrically, the song has Grande demanding romantic satisfaction,[18] using double entendres about BDSM.[41] "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart" is the album's second ballad, co-written by Harry Styles.[18][29] Copsey compared the eleventh track, "Hands on Me", featuring ASAP Ferg, with Rihanna's "Cockiness (Love It)" (2012) and Azalea's "Fancy" (2014).[29] Lipshutz described "Hands on Me" as "an out-of-left-field banger that removes Grande from her teenybopper phase and finds the 21-year-old discovering her inner Rihanna with lines."[18] The title track concludes the standard edition of the album on a somber note, recalling "Intro", and concerns Grande's struggles to regain the solid footing she once had with her partner.[37]

The first bonus track on the deluxe edition, "Bang Bang", featuring Jessie J and Nicki Minaj is an uptempo,[43] pop-infused soul song that features a "clap-heavy" production built over "big bouncy beats and horn blasts".[44] The next track "Only 1" was described by Billboard as "short, snappy and sumptuous" and "a light confection that succeeds due to its busy, intricate percussion".[18] The deluxe edition of My Everything concludes with the track "You Don't Know Me", with Grande "giv[ing] a whole new meaning to not judging a book by its cover", according to Kelsie Gibson of Bustle.[45]

Twenty days before the album's release, Grande released a preview of "Love Me Harder", which features Canadian recording artist the Weeknd, onto her Instagram profile.[51] On August 20, four songs from the album, "Why Try", "Be My Baby", "Love Me Harder", and "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart", were released courtesy of MTV.[52] On August 24, Grande opened the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards with "Break Free" and then later appeared to perform "Bang Bang" with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj. Following her performance on the show, My Everything was released on August 25. During the week of its release, commercials aired on television to promote My Everything as well as the Beats Pill.[53] On August 29, Grande performed "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang", and "Break Your Heart Right Back" on The Today Show. In addition to performing, Grande was also interviewed, forecasted to weather and brought her grandmother for an interview of her own.[54] On September 5, Grande performed the title track from My Everything during the Stand Up to Cancer television program in dedication to her grandfather, who had died from cancer earlier that year.[55]

Singles

Grande started to tease My Everything's lead single, "Problem", in April 2014. She first let her fans vote choosing its cover artwork,[56] and later revealed that Australian rapper Iggy Azalea would be featured on the song.[57][58] She premiered the song at the 2014 Radio Disney Music Awards on April 26,[59] and released it for digital download two days later.[60] The song debuted at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and sold 438,000 units in its first week making it the fifth largest debut by a woman in history.[61] The single later peaked at number two on the chart, holding that position for five non-consecutive weeks.[62] It has sold 3.7 million copies in the US and has been certified eight-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[63] During an interview with Wango Tango on May 10, Grande stated that she wanted to release "Break Free", featuring music producer Zedd, as the next single.[64] Released on July 2,[65] the song debuted at number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with 161,000 downloads sold in its first week.[66][67] After the release of its music video, "Break Free" soared on the chart from number 18 to number four.[68] It also reached number one on the US Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.[69] "Break Free" has sold 1.9 million copies as of June 2020, certified five-times platinum by the RIAA.[70]

"Bang Bang", a collaboration with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, was started to be teased on July 9.[71] Republic Records sent it to hot adult contemporary radios on July 28,[72] and a day later, Lava and Republic Records released it as a digital download, making it as a joint single.[73] It serves as the lead single from Jessie J's album Sweet Talker, and the third single from My Everything.[74] The song debuted at number six and peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100,[75][76] while debuting atop the UK Singles Chart.[77] As of November 2017, "Bang Bang" has sold 3.5 million copies in the US since its release,[78] while it was certified diamond by the RIAA in 2024—becoming the first all-female collaboration to achieve the threshold.[79] Its music video has over 2 billion views on YouTube, as of July 2024.[80] "Best Mistake" featuring Big Sean was released on August 12, as a promotional single.[81] It sold 104,000 units in its first week landing at number six on the Digital Songs chart,[82] peaking at number 49 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[76]

On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, My Everything received an average of 64, based on 19 reviews, which the cite defines as "generally favorable reviews".[95]

Critics praised My Everything for showcasing Grande's artistic growth, vocal performances, and transition into a more mature pop sound. Rob Sheffield, writing for Rolling Stone, viewed it as evidence of Grande's artistic growth, describing the album as a "brazen pop" record that combines "bubblegum diva vocals" with EDM-influenced production.[22] Elysa Gardner, on behalf of USA Today, noted that she balances ballads and "more emotionally earnest fare" with a "girlish playfulness" and "growing confidence" throughout the album,[27] while AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that Grande approaches the album less as a traditional diva vocalist and more as a "pop ringleader".[25] Jason Lipshutz from Billboard and Gary Graff of The Oakland Press believed that My Everything "turned Grande into a dance artist, pop artist, and soul artist" with a more uniformed and more mature sound, and to be her "solid step forward" as well as an "intriguing promise rather than a threat", respectively.[18][98] In a review for Pitchfork, Meaghan Garvey viewed the album as marking Grande's emergence as a "true pop" artist rather than a "charming novelty", and felt that its songs effectively reflected contemporary music that "may not be timeless".[24] Mikael Wood, writing on behalf of the Los Angeles Times, found Grande in impressive form because she waa "deeply cheerful yet with guns blazing, an innocent newcomer no more".[97] Writing for Vibe magazine, Adelle Platon was positive towards the album's sound and compared Grande's vocals to those of Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera.[28]

However, several reviewers criticized the album's lack of cohesion and distinct artistic identity despite praising Grande's vocal ability. Jim Farber from the New York Daily News wrote that Grande's "sexed-up" vocals and range are shown off but the "constant jerking back and forth between styles interrupts any sense of flow".[99] Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian also praised her vocals, but felt that the songs are indistinct and have a "facelessness" to them.[96] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club felt that My Everything was highly "well-constructed and designed to succeed", though she argued that its presentation left limited room for "any depth of character (or real surprises) surface". Nevertheless, she believed it made Grande a "consummate performer and vocal interpreter".[23] Kitty Empire from The Observer notes that Grande's vocal ability was showcased, but the songs lack personality,[26] while Evan Sawdey—writing for PopMatters—commented that Grande mimicked other artists, leaving her distinguished voice with only the support of hollow lyricism.[33] In agreement, Will Robinson of Sputnikmusic stated it "ends up ringing hollow".[100] Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly criticized the album's songwriting and production as lacking artistic distinctiveness, though he acknowledged moments of enjoyment on songs such as "Problem" and "Bang Bang".[21] Andrew Chan of Slant Magazine wrote that Grande prioritized the "sheer fun of singing" over "emotional urgency" on the album, though he argued that her vocal style still lacked some depth and variety.[19]

The album was placed at number eleven on Digital Spy's Best Albums of 2014 list.[101] Jessica Goodman and Ryan Kistobak of The Huffington Post included the album on their list of 2014's best releases, commenting that the album makes sure "Grande's sheer talent did not go unnoticed".[102] More than three years after the album's release, Grande's kneeling pose on a stool for the album's cover suddenly became a viral on Twitter, spawning memes, a challenge taken up by many to try to recreate the pose, and various international press coverage.[b]

Accolades

My Everything received several accolades following its release; at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in 2015, the album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album.[107] The same year, it won Best 3 Albums (International) at the Japan Gold Disc Awards,[108] and received a nomination for Favorite Album at the People's Choice Awards.[109]

My Everything sold over 160,000 copies in its first week,[110] debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 and selling 169,000 copies in its ending week.[111] Grande attained her second consecutive number-one album in the country, becoming the first female artist to have her first two albums debut at number one since Scottish singer Susan Boyle did it with I Dreamed a Dream (2009) and The Gift (2010).[111] The album has sold 759,000 copies in the United States as of April 2018.[78] In 2015, My Everything was ranked as the 17th most popular album of the year on the Billboard 200.[112] RIAA certified the album quadruple platinum in 2014, for sales of four million album-equivalent units.[113]
