ARIANA GRANDE returns with her brand new single ‘Focus’ today via Island Records. Produced by Max Martin, written by Ariana and Savan Kotecha, ‘Focus’ is the first single from her upcoming highly anticipated full-length album to be released in 2016. The track will impact on 4^th December.

Yours Truly yielded the game-changing pop smash ‘The Way’ featuring Mac Miller, which went double-platinum, landed in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and seized #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs chart. Meanwhile, the platinum-selling My Everything garnered a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Pop Vocal Album” and spawned the five times-platinum hit ‘Problem’ featuring Iggy Azalea.

Upon the single’s release, ARIANA became “the youngest woman to debut with over 400K sold in the first-week,” while the song ranked as the 5th “highest digital song debut for a female artist” and 9th highest ever. Moreover, it debuted at #1 in 85 countries, topping the iTunes Overall Top Songs and Pop Songs charts for four weeks and went #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 Airplay Chart. During release week, My Everything was #1 on Spotify as ARIANA personally rose to #1 on Billboard‘s Artists 100 chart.
