My Everything is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande. It was released on August 22, 2014, through Republic Records. Grande worked with a host of producers and co-writers on the album, including Max Martin, Shellback, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder, Darkchild, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Zedd, and David Guetta.

Grande sought for My Everything to sound as "an evolution" from her debut album Yours Truly (2013), exploring more mature and diverse lyrical content and musical styles. Primarily a pop and R&B record, My Everything expands on the 1990s retro-R&B style of its predecessor, while also approaching new genres such as EDM, electropop and dance-pop. Iggy Azalea, Zedd, Big Sean, Cashmere Cat, Childish Gambino, The Weeknd and ASAP Ferg make guest appearances on My Everything, while Jessie J and Nicki Minaj appear on the deluxe edition.

My Everything charted at number one in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Norway, and the United States while reaching the top five in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The album also received multi-platinum certifications in Canada, Denmark, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It received generally favorable reviews from music critics, appearing in year-end best-music lists of 2014. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in 2015, My Everything was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album.

My Everything was supported by five singles, all of which reached global success. The lead single, "Problem", broke numerous digital sales records upon release, and peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. The second single, "Break Free", reached number four in the United States. The following single, "Bang Bang", peaked at number three in the US and topped charts internationally. The fourth and fifth singles, "Love Me Harder" and "One Last Time", peaked at numbers seven and thirteen, respectively, with the latter reaching number two in the United Kingdom. Aided by My Everything's singles, Grande attained the most top ten hits for any artist in 2014 on the Hot 100. To further support the album, Grande embarked on the Honeymoon Tour in 2015.
