The “Break Free” siren—now sporting silvery, lavender locks that make her look a bit like the HBO character—released two albums in two years and headlined her own arena tour, yet she’s still found the time to squeeze in a whole new record, her upcoming third LP _Moonlight_. After weeks of Instagram teasing she’s finally shared the first single, “Focus,” and its accompanying video. The track reunites Grande with über-producer Max Martin (Taylor Swift, the Weeknd), and it picks up where their chart-topping Iggy Azalea collaboration “Problem” left off last year: there’s another brass section, a familiar pre-chorus and even a dude shouting on the hook in place of Big Sean’s whisper. But hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it—no need for Grande to check her vision here. **Read next:** [_Ariana Grande Is Fully Aware That the Lyrics of ‘Break Free’ Make No Sense_](http://time.com/3088143/ariana-grande-break-free-lyrics/ "undefined") **Read next:** [_Ariana Grande: I Do Not Always Order a Grande at Starbucks_](http://time.com/3182124/ariana-grande-interview-my-everything/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4094111/ariana-grande-focus/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4094111/ariana-grande-focus/"},"headline":"Watch the Video for Ariana Grande's New Single 'Focus'","datePublished":"2015-10-30T13:42:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:13:21.986Z","description":"If you liked \"Problem,\" you'll dig the first taste of her upcoming album","url":"https://time.com/4094111/ariana-grande-focus/","keywords":["Music","Ariana Grande"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4094111/ariana-grande-focus/","name":"Watch the Video for Ariana Grande's New Single 'Focus'"}}]}] ```
