Trap pop

Ariana Grande's albums Sweetener (2018), Thank U, Next (2019), and Positions (2020) feature midtempo trap-pop production. On Sweetener, Grande worked with Tommy Brown, whose trap-pop production on the album incorporates "booming, ironclad beats". "God Is a Woman", a trap-pop song from Sweetener, features triplet flow-influenced singing popularized by trap music, and the album's closing track, "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored", is a trap-pop song with lyrics portraying the narrator as a "bad girl" trying to steal another woman's partner. Thank U, Next includes "7 Rings", a trap-pop song that uses numerous features associated with trap; Gamble analyzed "7 Rings" in relation to non-Black artists' use of "sonic Blackness", writing that the song "symbolizes Blackness" through its trap sound, AAVE-influenced lyrics, and visual imagery.
