The chorus's message is at least remotely clear enough to let us gather that it is about a breakup, presumably - or about breaking free from a jail cell (this is the part where she breaks free, right?). Grande disclosed her feelings about the song to Time back in August: I fought him on it the whole time ‘I am not going to sing a grammatically incorrect lyric, help me, God!’ Max was like, ‘It’s funny - just do it!’ I know it’s funny and silly, but grammatically incorrect things make me cringe sometimes. Even Ariana Grande is completely aware that the song is totally nonsensical.

In case all of you Arianators have been wondering what the sorta-kinda-breakup anthem 'Break Free' is about, here's a bit of info that might burst your bubble: It's about absolutely nothing.

Holding it all together were those octave-leaping pipes, as Ariana carried on the vintage Mariah/Xtina tradition of sharp, streetwise divadom.Who are she really, anyway? Don't balk at that poor grammar usage - it came from the $250 million dollar mind of Max Martin and the mouth of the human Bratz doll, Ariana Grande. There’s even a DJ Mustard nod in the 'Hands on Me' breakdown, for maximum 2014-ness. My Everything was a time capsule of the year in chart pop: the Max Martin-fueled saxobeat riot of 'Problem' (with ubiquitous Iggy Azalea feature), the Zedd-fueled arena-EDM rocket blast of 'Break Free', the Ryan Tedder-fueled power ballad 'Why Try'. But what a delight it was having this pint-sized, big-haired, dimple-cheeked, cat-eared, not-a-girl-not-yet-a-woman in our lives. In a single week this fall, she duetted with Little Big Town on the CMA Awards, partnered with Major Lazer on Lorde’s Hunger Games soundtrack, and gyrated with the Weeknd in the 'Love Me Harder' video. The former Nickelodeon star conquered the radio, the charts, the tabloids, the TV circuit, and the meme factories, ascending from Victoria Justice/Miranda Cosgrove purgatory to the Katy/Miley/Gaga A-list on the strength of a powerhouse voice and a charmingly goofy off-mic persona.
