It was released on September 3, [[:Category:2013|2013]].
The debut album from [[Ariana Grande]], 2013's Yours Truly, is a surprisingly sophisticated and unique showcase for the Nickelodeon sitcom star's soulful R&B vocals. As the character Cat Valentine on several Nickelodeon television shows including I Carly, Victorious, and Sam & Cat, Grande developed a huge fan following and the expectations were high for her debut album. Three years in the making and held up by numerous delays, Yours Truly lives up to those expectations. Produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Yours Truly is an impeccably engineered affair. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to find a better platform for Grande's voice. A resonant singer gifted with a lithe affinity for both high-energy melisma and gentle balladry, Grande often brings to mind the intonations of Mariah Carey. Of course, with Edmonds at the helm, along with a bevy of commercially minded songwriters, the Carey comparisons are unavoidable and most likely intentional. Thankfully, Grande has the chops to pull it off, and Yours Truly makes the most of her talent. To these ends, tracks like the opening "[[Honeymoon Avenue]]", with its sophisticated orchestral intro, and the bright and funky "[[You'll Never Know]]" sound like lost early-'90s R&B hits. Though Grande has the talent to carry the album on her own steam, several tracks team her with guest performers, including the single "[[The Way]]", which features rapper Mac Miller; "[[Right There]]" with Big Sean; and "[[Popular Song (Ariana Grande song)|Popular Song]]", featuring MIKA. Ultimately, cuts like "[[Baby I]]" and the jazz-inflected showstopper "[[Almost Is Never Enough]]", featuring the Wanted's Nathan Sykes, are bravura pop recordings that bring to mind the best of the '90s and of now.

I'm under pressure 'cause I can't have you the way that I want
 
Let's just go back to the way it was
 
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
 
Honeymoon Avenue, baby
 
Coasting like crazy
 
Can we get back to the way it was?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Hey, what happened to the butterflies?
 
Guess they encountered that stop sign
 
And my heart is at a yellow light, a yellow light
 
Hey, right when I think that we’ve found it
 
Well, that’s when we start turning around
 
You're saying, "Baby, don't worry."
 
But we're still going the wrong way
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Baby, you know how to drive in rain
 
And you decided not to make a change
 
Stuck in the same old lane
 
Going the wrong way home
 
 
[Chorus]
 
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic
 
I'm under pressure 'cause I can't have you the way that I want
 
Let's just go back to the way it was
 
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
 
Honeymoon Avenue, baby
 
Coasting like crazy
 
Can we get back to the way it was?
 
 
[Bridge]
 
They say only fools fall in love
 
Well, they must've been talking about us
 
Sometimes I feel like I've been here before
 
I could be wrong, but I know I'm right
 
We're gonna be lost if we continue to fight
 
Honey, I know that we can find our way home
 
 
[Chorus]
 
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic
 
I'm under pressure 'cause I can't have you the way that I want
 
Let's just go back to the way it was
 
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
 
Honeymoon Avenue, my baby
 
Coasting like crazy
 
Can we get back to the way it was?
 
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
 
Honeymoon Avenue, baby
 
Coasting like crazy
 
Can we get back to the way it was?

Baby, you know how to drive in rain
 
And you decided not to make a change
 
Stuck in the same old lane
 
Going the wrong way home

I feel like my heart is stuck in... traffic
 
I'm under... pressure, pressure
 
Let's just go back to the way it was
 
When we were on...

Let's just go back, back, back

[Verse 1]
 
Baby, I got love for thee so deep inside of me
 
I don’t know where to start
 
Yeah, yeah
 
I love you more than anything
 
But the words can’t even touch what’s in my heart
 
No, no
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
When I try to explain it, I be sounding insane
 
The words don’t ever come out right
 
I get all tongue-tied and twisted
 
I can’t explain what I’m feeling
 
And I say baby, baby (oh-woah, oh-woah), baby
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(Baby, I) Oh baby, oh baby, my baby
 
(Baby, I) Oh baby, baby, I
 
(Baby, I) All I’m tryna say is you’re my everything, baby
 
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
 
Baby, baby (oh-woah, oh-woah)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Baby, I’m so down for you
 
No matter what you do (real talk), I’ll be around
 
Yeah, yeah
 
Ooh, baby
 
Baby, I been feeling you before I even knew what feelings were about
 
Oh, baby
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 
When I try to explain it, I be sounding all crazy
 
Words don’t ever come out right
 
I get all tongue-tied and (twisted)
 
I can’t explain what I’m (feeling)
 
And I say baby, baby (oh-woah, oh-woah), baby
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(Baby, I) Oh baby, oh baby, my baby
 
(Baby, I) Oh baby, baby, I
 
(Baby, I) All I’m tryna say is you’re my everything, (baby)
 
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
 
Baby, baby (oh-woah, oh-woah)
 
(Baby, baby) Ooh-woah
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Straight up
 
You got me all in
 
How could I not be?
 
I sure hope you know (I sure hope you know)
 
If it’s even possible, I love you more than the word “love” can say, yeah
 
It’s better not explaining
 
That's why I keep saying
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(Baby, I) Oh baby, oh baby, my baby
 
(Baby, I) Oh baby, baby, I
 
(Baby, I) All I’m tryna say is you’re my everything, baby
 
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
 
Baby, baby (oh-woah, oh-woah)
 
Baby (baby, baby), baby, I
 
Oh baby, oh baby, my baby
 
(Baby, I) Oh baby, baby, I
 
(Baby, I) All I’m tryna say is you’re my everything, baby
 
But every time I try to say it, words, they only complicate it
 
Every time I try to say it words, they only complicate it
 
Every time I try to say it words, they only complicate it

'''Lyrics:'''
 
 
<poem>
 
[Intro]
 
If you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party
 
Then put your hands up, put your hands up
 
If you, if you wanna party, if you, if you wanna party
 
Then put your hands up, put your hands up
 
 
[Refrain: Ariana Grande]
 
You got it, you got it, babe
 
You got it, you got it, babe
 
You got it, you got it, babe
 
You got it, you got it, babe
 
 
[Verse 1: Big Sean & Ariana Grande]
 
Okay, this, this, this for my number one girl who got the top spot title
 
Spent a hour in the bathroom, walked out looking like a model
 
God, doing what you do, got me right there with Apollo on the moon
 
Who needs genies in a bottle, girl, if they already got you?
 
Boy, you make me feel so lucky
 
Finally the stars align
 
Never has it been so easy to be in love
 
And to give you this heart of mine
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1: Ariana Grande]
 
You know what I need
 
I know what you like
 
Put it all together, baby, we could be alright
 
How could this be wrong when it feels so right?
 
Yeah, I really love you
 
I really love you, oh
 
And I’ll never let you go
 
 
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
 
You should know I’m never gonna change
 
I’m always gonna stay
 
You call for me, I’m right there (right there)
 
Right there (right there)
 
'Cause you listen and you care
 
You’re so different
 
No one compares
 
And if you never change, I’m gonna stay right there
 
I’ll always be right there
 
 
[Refrain: Ariana Grande]
 
You got it, you got it, babe
 
You got it, you got it, baby
 
 
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
 
And I get butterflies, just thinking
 
About you boy, you’re on my mind
 
Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming
 
Lost in your eyes and I lose all track of time
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2: Ariana Grande]
 
You know what I need
 
I know what you like
 
Put it all together, baby, we could be alright
 
How can this be wrong when it feels so right?
 
Yeah, I really need you
 
I really love you, oh
 
And I’ll never let you go
 
 
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
 
You should know I’m never gonna change
 
I’m always gonna stay
 
You call for me, I’m right there (right there)
 
Right there (right there)
 
'Cause you listen and you care
 
You’re so different
 
No one compares
 
And if you never change, I’m gonna stay right there
 
I’ll always be right there
 
 
[Refrain: Ariana Grande]
 
You got it, you got it, babe
 
You got it, you got it, baby
 
 
[Verse 3: Big Sean & Ariana Grande]
 
Now, if all fell through, would you catch me before the pavement?
 
If my Benz turned back to Public Transportation, would you still be at home for me with the candles waiting
 
And get my mind back adjacent to the place of a young visionary?
 
A player too, you know I have some girls missionary
 
My black book and numbers thicker than the dictionary and Bible
 
I got it recycled
 
I love and I like you
 
Five course meals, even though you don’t mind a drive-thru
 
That’s why I got you
 
And I’ll never let you go
 
 
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
 
You should know I’m never gonna change
 
I’m always gonna stay
 
You call for me, I’m right there (right there)
 
Right there (right there)
 
'Cause you listen and you care
 
You’re so different
 
No one compares
 
And if you never change, I’m gonna stay right there
 
I’ll always be right there
 
 
[Outro: Ariana Grande]
 
I’ll always be right there
 
I’ll always be right there
 
You got it, you got it baby
 
You got it, you got it baby
 
You got it, you got it baby
 
You got it, you got it baby, you got it babe

[Verse 1]
 
You don’t need a lot of money
 
Honey, you don’t have to play no games
 
All I need is all your loving
 
To get the blood rushing through my veins, oh
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
I wanna say we’re going steady
 
Like it’s 1954
 
No, it doesn’t have to be forever
 
Just as long as I’m the name on your tattooed heart
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
You don’t need to worry about making me crazy
 
'Cause I’m way past that, yeah
 
And so just call me if you want me
 
'Cause you got me
 
And I’ll show you how much I want to be on your tattooed heart
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
Just as long as I'm the name, on your tattooed heart

Wrap me in your jacket, my baby
 
And lay me in your bed
 
And kiss me underneath the moonlight
 
Darling, let me trace the lines, on your tattooed heart

Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart
 
Tattooed heart, tattooed heart

Baby, don’t you know you’ve got all my love, all my love?
 
Baby, don’t you know you’ve got all my love, all my love?
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Hold up, wait
 
Before you go, just stay
 
And talk to me for a little
 
Baby, won't you loosen up just a little, eh?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
See, what you don’t understand
 
Is falling in love wasn’t part of my plan
 
Started with a crush, now I call you my man
 
Doubt that I’ll ever fall in love, ever fall in love again
 
'Cause you give me chills every time we chill
 
I spend all of my days doing, doing
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Nothing but lovin' you
 
Nothing but lovin' you, baby
 
Boy, you got all my time
 
I’m lovin' your loving
 
I’m lovin', I’m lovin' you, baby
 
Boy you got all my, all my love and affection, all my attention
 
You don’t gotta question if I’m really loving your lovin'
 
I’m lovin', I’m lovin' you, baby
 
Boy, you got all my, all my

When you put your lips on me
 
I adore you
 
So let me make it clear to you, that boy, you’re all I need
 
My baby

<poem>
 
[Intro]
 
Oh-oh-oh-oh
 
Oh-oh-oh-oh
 
Here we go
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
I could write a song with my new piano
 
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
 
Not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
And I could sing about Cupid and his shooting arrow
 
In the end, you'd find out that my heart was battered
 
Real hard (real hard)
 
It’s so hard (it’s so hard)
 
Real hard (real hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
 
That makes you wanna dance
 
Don’t it make you wanna dance?
 
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
 
That makes you wanna grab your lover's hand
 
 
[Chorus]
 
So hold up and take it through the night
 
And you should follow through to make it alright
 
Now grab each others' hands, get ‘em up
 
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
I could write a song by my new piano
 
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
 
Not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
And I could sing about Cupid and his shooting arrow
 
In the end, you’ll find out that my heart was battered
 
Real hard (it's not hard)
 
So hard (so hard)
 
Real hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)

But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
 
That makes you wanna dance
 
Don’t it make you wanna dance?
 
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
 
That makes you wanna grab your lover's hand
 
 
[Chorus]
 
So hold up and take it through the night
 
And you should follow through to make it alright
 
Now grab each others' hands, get ‘em up
 
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
 
So hold up and take it through the night
 
And you should follow through to make it alright
 
Now grab each others' hands, get ‘em up
 
I wanna see you rock to the piano, the piano
 
 
[Bridge]
 
I’d rather tell you about how I’m feeling, boy
 
And how I’m doing things my way
 
If I got my piano, then I’m gon' be okay
 
 
[Chorus]
 
So hold up and take it through the night
 
And you should follow through to make it alright
 
Now grab each others' hands, get ‘em up
 
I want to see you rock to the piano, the piano
 
So hold up and take it through the night
 
And you should follow through to make it alright
 
Now grab each others' hands, get ‘em up
 
I want to see you rock to the piano, the piano
 
So hold up and take it through the night
 
And you should follow through to make it alright
 
Now grab each others' hands, get ‘em up
 
I want to see you rock to the piano, the piano
 
 
[Outro]
 
I could write a song by my new piano
 
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard (it's not hard)
 
It's not hard

[Verse 1]
 
You walked in
 
Caught my attention
 
I've never seen
 
A man with so much dimension
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
It's the way you walk, the way you talk
 
The way you make me feel inside
 
It's in your smile, it's in your eyes
 
I don't wanna wait for tonight
 
 
[Chorus]
 
So I'm daydreamin'
 
With my chin in the palm of my hands
 
About you, you
 
And only you
 
Got me daydreamin'
 
With my chin in the palm of my hands
 
About you, you
 
And only you
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
Fo—For you (Oh, oh, oh)
 
For you (Oh, oh, oh)
 
For you (Oh, oh, oh)
 
For you (Oh, oh)

Now I can't wait
 
To hold you in my arms
 
I know I was made for you
 
I'm in love with all your charm

It's the way you walk, the way you talk
 
The way you make me feel inside
 
It's in your smile, it's in your eyes

So I'm daydreamin'
 
With my chin in the palm of my hands

About you, you

[Intro: Ariana Grande (Mac Miller)]
 
What we gotta do right here is go back
 
Back into time
 
I love the way you make me feel (Okay)
 
I love it, I love it (Yeah)

I love it (Yeah,) I love it (Yeah)
 
 
[Verse 1: Mac Miller & Ariana Grande]
 
Say
 
I’m thinkin' ’bout her every second, every hour
 
Do my singing in the shower, pickin' petals off of flowers like
 
Do she love me, do she love me not?
 
I ain’t a player, I just ***** * ***
 
You give me that kinda somethin'
 
Want it all the time, need it every day
 
On a scale of one to ten I’m at a 100
 
Never get enough, I can’t stay away
 
 
[Refrain 1: Ariana Grande]
 
If you want, I got it, I got it every day
 
You can get whatever you need from me
 
Stay by your side, I’ll never leave ya
 
And I ain’t going nowhere 'cause you’re a keeper
 
 
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
 
So don’t you worry
 
Baby, you got me (Ayy)
 
I, I got a bad boy, just admit it (Hey)
 
You got my heart, don’t know how you did it (Hey)
 
And I don't care who sees it, babe, I don't want to hide the way
 
I feel when you're next to me (Hey)
 
 
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]

And honey it ain’t a question (Qu—qu—question)

Come and watch a movie with me, American Beauty
 
Or Bruce Almighty, that's groovy, just come and move closer to me
 
I got some feelings for ya I’m not gonna get bored of
 
But, baby, you an adventure so let me come and explore ya
 
 
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
 
So don’t you worry (Yeah)
 
Baby, you got me (Woo)
 
I, I got a bad boy, I must admit it (Hey) (Uh-huh)
 
You got my heart, don’t know how you did it (Hey)
 
And I don't care who sees it, babe, I don't want to hide the way
 
I feel when you're next to me (Hey)

<poem>
 
[Verse 1]
 
Now you finally tell me how you feel
 
Guess your words just came a little too late
 
All the drama, boy, it’s overkill
 
Don’t get mad at me 'cause you’ve been replaced
 
Know your place
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
But if you woulda manned up, put your hand up, stand up
 
Tell me how you really felt, then maybe it’d be different
 
If you spoke, I would’ve listened
 
But now, I’m with somebody else, and he loves me
 
Too much for me to mess this up
 
And it sucks to be all in your head
 
Wondering where this thing could go, but...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
You will never know what we could have been
 
If you would’ve shown your way back then
 
Boy, you gotta (yup, yup)
 
Boy, you shoulda (yup, yup)
 
'Cause you didn’t know, so
 
Now you’ll never know, you’ll never know
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Now it’s probably hard for you to hear
 
But there’s nothing left for you to say
 
Had my heart all in your hands, boy, but you don’t understand
 
Is a girl like me don’t have no time to waste around
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
But if you woulda manned up, put your hand up, stand up
 
Tell me how you really felt, then maybe it’d be different
 
If you spoke, I would’ve listened
 
But now, I’m with somebody else, and he loves me
 
Too much for me to mess this up
 
And it sucks to be all in your head
 
Wondering where this thing could go, but...

You will never know what we could have been
 
If you would’ve shown your way back then
 
Boy, you gotta (yup, yup)
 
Boy, you shoulda (yup, yup)
 
'Cause you didn’t know, so
 
Now you’ll never know, you’ll never know
 
You’ll never know
 
Boy, you should’ve told me, told me
 
You’ll never know
 
Boy, you should’ve let me know
 
You’ll never know
 
Boy, you could’ve been there for me
 
But now you’ll never know, you’ll never know
 
 
[Bridge]
 
It’s not my fault
 
You’re a little bit too late
 
You’re the only one to blame
 
Wipe that look off your face
 
You can wish a thousand times
 
But none of that will change my mind, boy
 
You had a chance you’ll never get back, get back
 
 
[Chorus]
 
You will never know what we could have been
 
If you would’ve shown your way back then
 
Boy, you gotta (yup, yup)
 
Boy, you shoulda (yup, yup)
 
'Cause you didn’t know, so
 
Now you’ll never know, you’ll never know
 
You’ll never know
 
Boy, you should’ve told me, told me
 
You’ll never know
 
Boy, you should’ve let me know
 
You’ll never know
 
Boy, you could’ve been there for me
 
But now you’ll never know, you’ll never know

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
 
I'd like to say we gave it a try
 
I'd like to blame it all on life
 
Maybe we just weren't right
 
But that's a lie, that's a lie
 
 
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
 
And we can deny it as much as we want
 
But in time our feelings will show
 
'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up
 
The truth is, everyone knows
 
 
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
 
Almost, almost is never enough
 
So close to being in love
 
If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you
 
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
 
But right here in each others arms
 
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
 
But almost is never enough
 
 
[Verse 2: Nathan Sykes]
 
If I could change the world overnight
 
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
 
You'd be standing right where you were
 
And we'd get the chance we deserve, oh

Try to deny it as much as you want
 
But in time our feelings will show

[Verse 1: Both]
 
You were the popular one, the popular chick
 
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
 
Standing on the field with your pretty pompoms
 
Now you're working at the movies selling popular corn
 
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
 
Cause I’m puttin' down my story in a popular song
 
Ahh, I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
 
 
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
 
My problem, I never was a model
 
I never was a scholar, but you were always popular
 
You were singing all the songs I don't know
 
Now you're in the front row, cause my song is popular
 
 
[Chorus: MIKA]
 
Popular, I know about popular
 
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
 
You're only ever who you were
 
Popular, I know about popular
 
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
 
That’s all you ever need to know
 
 
[Post-Chorus: Both]
 
So catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
 
So catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
 
 
[Verse 2: Both]
 
Always on the lookout for someone to hate
 
Pickin' on me like a dinner plate
 
You hid during classes and in between 'em
 
Dunk me in the toilets now it's you that cleans them
 
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
 
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
 
Ooh, the joke's on you
 
Got everyone laughing, got everyone clapping, askin'
 
How come you look so cool?
 
Cause that’s the only thing that I learned at school, boy
 
Uh huh, I said that’s the only thing that I learned at school
 
 
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
 
My problem, I never was a model
 
I never was a scholar, but you were always popular
 
You were singing all the songs I don't know

Popular, I know about popular

Yours Truly is the debut studio album by American singer Ariana Grande.

It was released on September 3, 2013.

Overview

The debut album from Ariana Grande, 2013's Yours Truly, is a surprisingly sophisticated and unique showcase for the Nickelodeon sitcom star's soulful R&B vocals. As the character Cat Valentine on several Nickelodeon television shows including I Carly, Victorious, and Sam & Cat, Grande developed a huge fan following and the expectations were high for her debut album. Three years in the making and held up by numerous delays, Yours Truly lives up to those expectations. Produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Yours Truly is an impeccably engineered affair. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to find a better platform for Grande's voice. A resonant singer gifted with a lithe affinity for both high-energy melisma and gentle balladry, Grande often brings to mind the intonations of Mariah Carey. Of course, with Edmonds at the helm, along with a bevy of commercially minded songwriters, the Carey comparisons are unavoidable and most likely intentional. Thankfully, Grande has the chops to pull it off, and Yours Truly makes the most of her talent. To these ends, tracks like the opening "Honeymoon Avenue," with its sophisticated orchestral intro, and the bright and funky "You'll Never Know" sound like lost early-'90s R&B hits. Though Grande has the talent to carry the album on her own steam, several tracks team her with guest performers, including the single "The Way," which features rapper Mac Miller; "Right There" with Big Sean; and "Popular Song," featuring Mika. Ultimately, cuts like "Baby I" and the jazz-inflected showstopper "Almost Is Never Enough," featuring the Wanted's Nathan Sykes, are bravura pop recordings that bring to mind the best of the '90s and of now.
