Ariana Grande recently opened up about how "time and therapy" have helped her reconnect with her older music. During an appearance on *Hot Ones*, the singer shared that performing certain songs was once difficult due to the stressful periods in her life when they were written. However, with healing, she now feels proud and grateful when hearing those tracks.

Reflecting on her journey, Ariana recalled working with producer Max Martin on her 2014 hit "Break Free," a memory she cherishes despite initial disagreements over the song's sound. She also addressed her mixed feelings about music leaks, describing them as both frustrating and dehumanizing, yet acknowledging the passion her fans have for her work. Balancing these emotions, Ariana expressed gratitude for her career while emphasizing the challenges of dealing with such invasions of privacy.
