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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

she sounds like she hasn't ever breathed polluted air

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

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’” 😂😂

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.🥺🔥🔥🖤

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

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.

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

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

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

Her adlibs are amazing, just like her vocals.

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

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

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

That “me” note was so spicy 3:57

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.

The fact she says *"sorry" "please" "THANK YOU"* Shows the respect she has for them. 💕 People be calling for 20 things and never once say thank you or please.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 love how POLITE she is. She doesn't have to say please every time, she's literally the boss so it wouldn't even be rude. The fact that she's just so polite is so endearing to me honestly❤❤

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

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 🧚🏼‍♂️

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

VOICE OF OUR GENERATION

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

The amount of time she said "please" shows how respectful she is

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

shes so kind with her manners to her directors

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

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

Getting perfect vocal harmonies just like that is mad

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

producer: okay ariana, how many notes do you want on this son- ari: yuh

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

Ive watched this vid so much and I keep coming back. Such an honor to see her create my favorite bridge of one my favorite songs from her. And to see her come up with and stack those "Mes* gave me chills. Seeing her at work in her lab. Seated in her power.💎👑💅🏾🌙🔮

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

She knows exactly what she wants

wow it's a shame so many people bash mainstream pop music because it's "void and lazy", just because a singer is pop and ultra famous doesn't mean they don't work hard and care for their art

This song will always be my favorite of her comeback era❤

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

Ariana’s cutest quotes: “I have an idea” “Please” “Was that pretty?” “Ok double double” “Can I have some water?” “Ooo I love that”

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.

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

As a songwriter, I totally get this process. Ari is a queen and her ear is unmatched 🔥❤️🖊

She just showed us how much effort a single line of a song requires. Edit: Thanks for 3.8k likes

I love how she says “please” “if that’s okay” “thank you” while it’s her thing🥺 she’s just amazing

when ariana said she loved harmonies she really meant it🤣

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

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

Not saying this means I know what I’m talking about, but I have sat in on a few studio sessions with artists, and what I’ve seen is that the engineer tends to be the one to offer vocal suggestions and techniques and ideas. It seems like she’s just thinking about all this stuff on her own and tracking it out flawlessly. That just shows she knows her voice so well and actually has her one vision for the song. Artists these days don’t fulfill enough space, and often times the engineer has to turn it into something great. She seems to run these studio sessions

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

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 :)

this is my fav behind the scenes from her ever

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

what a prodigy, she knows exactly what sound she wants and know how to achieve it - and all that without trying multiple times, she just....BRUH SHE JUST DOES THE THING

Need a whole documentary of this

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

the process is so satisfying to watch, i just keep coming back to this video

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

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

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

Ariana asks herself 'how much harmonization do you want?' Ariana: Yes

she's literally obsessed with HARMONIES lmao

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.
