it's like she can hear the finished song in her head before it was complete and she just trying to re-create what she hears

“It’s going to sound messy” She sounds like a complete angel

She's mastered her voice so well that she can instantly harmonize any note, I'm so blown away

The engineer and Ariana work well together. He rolls fast and she hears well and vocal matches fast. Her ideas to stack and arrange her vocal on the spot is good. It’s not messy and it’s like a pad that gets bigger and bigger. Not every singer has this speed.

I like how the producers literally do what she asks and don’t hesitate-

She's so fucking cool ?????? Her voice is literally an instrument, she makes it looks like it's so easy !?! I love her

I love how she says please and thank you every time. The mutual respect and chemistry between her and the engineers is amazing. The efficiency of communication and them being able to build insane vocal layering in a matter of minutes is beyond impressive. Pure art.

It's amazing how she's not like "scratch that, let's do this instead". She just builds, rearranges, and keeps on building. Damn.

The fact that her body is able to create THAT is unbelievable to me.

I like how she says "thank you", "sorry", "please". You know she's the boss but she respects the people she's working with so much.

my girl is a monster in the studio and it’s showing. She has strong request and the producer knows exactly what she wants. What a duo

This definitely shows how talented she is but I couldn’t help but laugh at 1:36 when she was like “I’d love to get another note on the... ‘yuuuh’. I’m gonna add a ‘yuh’” 😂😂

Audio Engineer: How many layers do you want? Ariana: Yuh!

her ability to so quickly harmonize and arrange on the spot is actually insane

It’s wild that she just makes an absolute banger like that out of nothing.

4:17 This is where the whole bridge comes together with this last note! It sounds so magical 😢🤍

It's so satisfying how she knows what she's doing and doesnt her forced to change something

she sounds like she hasn't ever breathed polluted air

She’s super fucking meticulous and I respect her so much for it. I had no idea that this kind of thing could be so…… intentional, and that being A GOOD thing. This is just pure art.

tbh i'm not the biggest fan of her and her music, but watching this is a huge eye opener! i didn't know she played such a huge part in making her music. i kind of just assumed she just write the lyrics at most. but this is amazing to watch and i definitely respect her for her creative talent, i would never be able to do this.

let's appreciate the guy who's fast to catch Ari's request like they're synced

Can we just give respect to the guy who understands exactly everything she is asking him to do and is able to do it within a matter of 3 seconds. Wow.

She is like a managing director. Look at how she leads the producers. Also big congrats to the producers. They act very professional and quick.

This creative environment is so freaking incredible. The way her thoughts are instantly incorporated. It's freaking MAGIC

I would legitimately watch an entire hour long series worth of Ariana piecing together her songs. This is extremely satisfying

She turned around and ASKED HER PRODUCERS "Is ThAt PrEtTy?" He said "FIREEEEEEEE"

Her adlibs are amazing, just like her vocals.

That recording engineer on point, the mixing engineer gotta be a legend, the mastering engineer gotta make sure them notes stay crisp

THE TALENT THIS WOMAN HAS IS UNMATCHED!!

she is so respectful like she is always using..."please" "if that is ok" "thank you" damn gotta love the woman

A singer and a producer on the same page can lead to something magical

This is why she was one of my favorite coaches on the voice because she can get so technical with voices and harmonies

VOICE OF OUR GENERATION

“Should I do two more?” She layers her vocals like LASAGNA but I love it so fckin’ much...

I love how much control she has in her studio sessions, she just knows exactly what she wants and what to do and the producers just record - such a boss

That “me” note was so spicy 3:57

I love how she’s polite when asking to add in more keys

She knows exactly what she wants

I love when she adds a harmony or a new riff and the guys are just hyping her up

I would buy an album of her talking to her producer 🧚🏼‍♂️

Can we just appreciate the guys who understood and fulfilled Ariana's requests so quick

Need a whole documentary of this

People don't realize how hard our favourite artists work So proud and inspiring

It's so satisfying to see how it was exactly made. We used to just be enjoying the song and now let's appreciate Ariana's and producers hard works.

This girl literally can hear the notes and harmonization in her own head and mix it on the spot.. dang.. now that’s talent

the fact that she knows what she wants for the sound instantly is INSANE.

This why I l love her music. All the stacking of the harmonies and little ad libs that really bring the song to life!

This is insane. I’m not sure what I expected the song process to be but I didn’t expect it to be fully up to the singer, she has such talent and vision for the song it’s great

I need a documentary showing her just making music.. I don't think that's a lot to ask..

she says " can I hear all of that, I know it's gonna sound messy.." and it sounds absolutely angelic and divine

1 year later and I still keep coming back regularly. If this was a single I'd buy it. Mesmerizing!

IMO this is why some performers deserve to be called ‘artists’, and you can find them in any genre; performers that know their voice/instrument so well that they can make it sound like they’re painting in your ears. I’m not even the biggest Ariana fan, but massive respect to her for being a real artist at a time when it’s so easy to fake things to produce more quickly.

She's so cute. she keeps saying sorry when she feels like she interrupted the producers and then she like "one more please " with that cute voice of hers. omg shes adorable

I like how the producer is so cooperative and does everything she's asks for. Both of them are so professional, I've never seen how music is produced so this was really interesting.

I like how she's so respectful. She is beyond talented. I e really grown to live Ariana over the years. Ty

this pops up on my feed every 3 months and im in awe every time 😊

Ariana Grande is the only person who just says I’m gonna add another riff and makes a whole song

Damn, she's a freaking genius. I think we often disregard how much craft and talent are put in the making of songs, and often underestimate the vocalist's imput in the composition just hearing the finished product.

Not many artists understand how to produce and sing. Her harmonising with her own voice is insane!!!!

"It's gonna be messy, but play it all together" sounds perfect

The engineers and Ari are so fucking talented, they're on the same page and that's necessary when trying to work together and on time of schedule; she knows what she wants and she knows where to put it, they know what she wants and they keep track of which areas she wants to integrate more shit into. Applause to the whole team for staying connected

She gives clear instructions and the producer responds in seconds to that. THAT is amazing. It is like they are in sinc.

I love how she just keep going and stacking/ layering her vocals 😩 and they’re all sprung and experimented and turns out a vocal masterpiece

Ugh, she's so sonically brilliant!! It's really cool to see how she works in the studio when producing music. Just an artist focusing on her craft, and we love to see it.

Just another “yeah” And another “yeah” Plus one more “yeah”

Me, an audio engineer, wishing everybody was this easy to work with

10+ layers of harmony in a non-editing non-cutting 5min video? this is hard work converted in "talent" such a masterpiece !!!

I love they work so cohesively together, brilliant. She knows exactly what she wants, she knows her instrument!

I’m in love with how professional she is with the engineer. So communicative. And she gets everything down on the first take. She looks like such a pleasure to work with.

I need artists to start dropping studio footage. I’m BEGGING.

I love how Ariana has creative freedom to do the vocals, the lyrics and the production Love her 💖

It’s like she’s painting. she has it all in her head, harmonies and everything. beautiful

I LOVE how she knows EXACTLY what she wants and isn't afraid to tell the producer about it

Oh, we need more of this. It must be such a joy producing someone so talented.

I want to hear her doing the whole album more than anything 😩

she a legend

I love how asks and says everything so politely, she's adorable

I love how mannerly she is with her requests. Love her

the cutest part is that she is politely asking the producers "can i add one more note if that's okay, thank you"

Imagine if we get a video on how Ariana did the vocals for My Hair. 😭

Those stacked ‘’me’s” are my favourite part of the song. So happy she did that, it sounded empty without it.

Holy crap she has such control. Not only just with her voice but her talent! I’m sooo happy she’s not being led, but instead being the leader of all her work. She is such a talent.

when she went “i have an idea” & added that beautiful “down forrrr meeee” melody.......i seriously can’t believe someone can even have such a GIFT! she’s HEARING herself. adding harmonies the FIRST try, & repeating it.....human being? nah, bitch that’s an ariana grande.🥺🔥🔥🖤

I’M OBSESSED WITH THESE BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGES

I could watch this all day and every day of my life without getting tired of it.

I love how polite she is towards her team while working to perfect the song as well on top of all the good things this comment section has said

Sound Engineer: How many more do you want? Ariana: Yes.

How many adlibs do you want to do? Ariana: MORE

Aside from her being amazing, i wish there was more stuff like this, watching an artist in the actual studio session... this is gold for those of us learning the process...

Getting perfect vocal harmonies just like that is mad

Such a talent. This world is lucky to have you in it.

She can harmonize off the bat. What a rare gift.

the reason the whole thing is so seamless, as in she says something and the engineer immediately gets it and tommy isn’t giving her ideas and just letting her do her thing, is bc she usually works w a core group of ppl who understand her as an artist and person (tommy brown her best friend and producer is the one that appears towards the end of the video staring at the screen). she also is obviously very gifted but it helps that she “works” w her best friends

This women is rlly unstoppable she can do anything acting,sing,dance, anything she wants to be its rlly crazy

This video shows how she actually works hard and some people just don't realise this and hate the song without even knowing how hard the artist has worked on it so appreciate it and don't spread hate :)

It’s like she can hear all 12 voices clearly in her head when doing harmonies, that is absolute talent my respect for her as an artist definitely cemented here

those Ariana vocal stacks are insaneeeee

One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard

I honestly didn’t even realise how much time she would spend on one freakin sliver of the song. Like, we listen and we don’t really even notice or hear so many of these layers but they’re there and she was meticulous about them!

Her ability to just naturally harmonize with her own voice is absolutely brilliant.
