Later that month, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Grande stated that she had begun writing and working on her second studio album and had already completed two songs. The singer's debut studio album Yours Truly was released on September 3, 2013, and was met with critical acclaim. I have a bunch of ideas I'm very excited about and a lot of stuff cooking."

The album debuted at number one in Australia and Canada as well, and peaked in the top ten of twenty countries worldwide. It was later certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and was listed as one of the most popular albums of 2014, 2015 and the 2010s on the Billboard 200.
My Everything debuted atop the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States, selling 169,000 copies in its first week, marking Grande's second consecutive chart-topper in the US. Primarily a pop and R&B record, My Everything expands on the 1990s retro-R&B style of its predecessor, while also approaching new genres such as EDM, electropop and dance-pop. 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. In the album's production, Grande worked with a host of producers and co-writers, including Max Martin, Shellback, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder, Darkchild, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Zedd, and David Guetta, to name a few. My Everything is the second studio album by American singer Ariana Grande, released on August 25, 2014, by Republic Records.
