Break Free

"Break Free" is a song by American singer Ariana Grande featuring Russian-German music producer Zedd. Written by Savan Kotecha and its producers Zedd and Max Martin, it premiered on July 2, 2014 on Total Ariana Live, MTV's revival of Total Request Live. The song was made available by digital download later that day and was serviced to contemporary hit and rhythmic radio on July 8, 2014 as the second single from Grande's second studio album My Everything (2014). Musically, the song explores EDM and electro genres, a musical departure for Grande, whose discography is primarily composed of pop and R&B.

[Verse 1] If you want it, take it I should've said it before Tried to hide it, fake it I can't pretend anymore (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] I only wanna die alive Never by the hands of a broken heart (Ooh) I don't wanna hear you lie tonight Now that I've become who I really am [Chorus] This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more [Verse 2] You were better, deeper I was under your spell, yeah Like a deadly fever, yeah, babe On the highway to hell, yeah (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] I only wanna die alive Never by the hands of a broken heart (Ooh) I don't wanna hear you lie tonight Now that I've become who I really am [Chorus] This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more [Bridge] No more, baby Ooh Thought of your body, I came alive It was lethal, it was fatal In my dreams, it felt so right But I woke up every time Ooh, baby [Chorus] This is the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before (Ooh) This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more This is (This is) the part when I say I don't want ya I'm stronger than I've been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more
