Ariana Grande Releases ‘Dangerous Woman’ Tracklist Featuring Lil Wayne Jam ‘Let Me Love You’
Ariana Grande has been gearing up for her big album release. On Saturday, April 16, she revealed the final and complete tracklist for her upcoming album, Dangerous Woman.
Just like with Grande’s previous album, My Everything, this tracklist will include a lot of guest features. This time around, the pop star will collaborate with the likes of Future, Lil Wayne, Macy Gray, and Nicki Minaj. Grande took to Instagram to post a black-and-white photo of herself posing with a mugshot placard of each song on her tracklist. The singer is also seen wearing an evening gown with a crown and white fur stole.
Check out the clip and full tracklist below.
This isn’t the first time that Ariana Grande has worked with Nicki Minaj. The two ladies worked with Jessie J on their hit song, “Bang Bang.” Then they collaborated once again for the song “Get On Your Knees” off Minaj’s latest album, The Pinkprint.
Dangerous Woman will be Ariana’s third studio album. The album’s title track first made its live debut when Ariana served as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live back in March.

The final tracklist is slightly different from the one that Ariana teased on Snapchat back in December. When the album was originally titled Moonlight and scheduled for a 2015 release, the pintsize singer took to the popular social media app to tease some clips of her new tracks, including “Focus,” which is not on the final tracklist.
Then a month later when Grande change the album’s title from Moonlight to Dangerous Woman, she shared some more mysterious photos on Snapchat. Grande was seen wearing a white T-Shirt with the words “dangerous woman” across the chest. She then teased a partial tracklist written out on a white board with the words “DANGEROUS WOMAN” scrawled at the top. The first song listed was “Moonlight,” which is still included on the album’s final tracklist.
“As we’re wrapping things up, of course I’ve been writing and singing, we’re at the final stretch. Now there’s this other song that has thrown me for a whirlwind and I love it so much, it’s changed everything.”
Just after she released the tracklist, Grande released another song from her forthcoming album. The song “Let Me Love,” which features rapper Lil Wayne, is a soft slow jam that takes you back to the time when R&B ruled the airwaves in most of the 90s and early 2000s. The song features a mix of piano chords and electronic beats followed by Grande’s breathy Mariah Carey-esque vocals.
She sings about moving on with a new lover after her breakup with her ex, which most assume to be about Big Sean.
The rapper steps in halfway through the song with lyrics such as “What you need your ex for? I’m triple x.” The two sing back and forth until the song slowly fades out.
Dangerous Woman is slated for release on May 20. Are you looking forward to Ariana Grande’s new album? What are your thoughts on her new track? Sound off below in the comments section.
