For \"motive\" with Doja Cat, Grande evokes the signature sounds of '90s pop, from the mellow drum beat to the oscillating whistles, as the two sing about engaging with a potential lover before wondering if they have a hidden agenda.

Grande and The Weeknd team up for \"off the table,\" an R&B single chock full of sensual lyrics gently recited against a mid-tempo beat.

Both artists show off their impressive vocal range, from Grande's whistle register to The Weekend's ability to effortlessly cascade through a series of notes, as they sing about falling in love.

The 27-year-old singer pairs with Ty for \"safety net,\" a pensive single about a fear of committing to a relationship that seems almost too good to be true.

Grande previously expressed that \"Positions\" is \"my favorite [album] for many reasons\" and that she doesn't have \"a top three [songs] or anything.\"

\"Positions\" is Grande's sixth studio album, the follow up to her February 2019 effort \"thank u, next.\" It is available now purchase online and in stores.
