Everytime (Ariana Grande Song)
"Everytime" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer Ariana Grande from her fourth studio album ''Sweetener'', released in 2018. The song was written by Grande, Savan Kotecha and its producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. Development and composition Rolling Stone's Elias Leight noted "At first Grande delivers an unyielding staccato rap, but she abruptly returns to supple singing on the line-ending phrase “back to you;” the effect is like a boxer following a series of short jabs with an uppercut. As more and more pop singers are forced to reckon with trap, the fusion achieved on “Everytime” offers them a path forward. Lyrically, Grande sings about being in a toxic relationship with an ex and how she couldn't get over someone even though she knew it was unhealthy to stay involved. She expresses feelings of desire and frustration in equal measure and the song makes references to drugs and alcohol, leading some fans to speculate that the song alludes to G ...

"Lonny" Bereal, James "J-Doe" Smith, Al Sherrod Lambert, Jeff Lorber and Sean. It features a prominent sample of the jazz instrumental song "Rain Dance" (1979) by The Jeff Lorber Fusion.
