Ariana Grande – Like I Do

Ariana Grande pushes her pop sound forward with “like i do,” the ninth track from her eighth studio album petal.

The song pairs witty lyricism with explosive pop production, built around distorted basslines and punchy drums that move fast. Written and produced by Ariana Grande alongside longtime collaborator ILYA, with engineering by Lou Carrao and Juan Arguello, “like i do” captures her at her most fearless. At two minutes and forty-seven seconds, the track packs attitude into every second, turning criticism into fuel while exploring self-assurance and personal influence.

Ariana has spent her career spanning R&B, hip-hop, and pop across her eight studio albums, working with producers like Max Martin and The Weeknd. She grew up in Boca Raton, Florida, and began performing at fifteen before rising to fame through television and music. Her range has only widened since those early days, moving between intimate ballads and high-energy pop bangers with equal ease.

On petal, she leans into confidence without apology. “like i do” fits that vision perfectly – it’s a track that refuses to soften its edges or second-guess itself. The blurred line between admiration and obsession becomes her playground here, and she walks it with control.
