"Focus" is a song by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released on October 30, 2015, by Republic Records. Originally intended to be the lead single off of Grande's third studio album, Dangerous Woman, then named Moonlight, the song was scrapped from the album with its title track serving as the official lead single. The song appears as a bonus track on the Japan deluxe edition of the album. Written by Grande, Savan Kotecha, Peter Svensson and produced by Ilya Salmanzadeh and Max Martin, the song features horns with cowbells and handclaps as percussion.

The song received mixed reviews from music critics who praised Grande's vocals and the song's brassy production but criticized its similarity to her 2014 hit "Problem". "Focus" debuted at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with 113,000 downloads in its first week. It was Grande's sixth top-ten single, and her first unaccompanied by another artist. The song also reached the top ten in Canada, Australia, Austria, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. By January 2016, "Focus" sold 544,000 copies in the United States and was certified double Platinum by the RIAA.

Its music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, premiered on October 30, 2015, on Grande's YouTube channel. Until 2019, it remained the fourth most viewed music video on Grande's YouTube channel. She performed "Focus" at the 2015 American Music Awards and at the iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles concert, and it was on the set list of the second leg of Grande's 2017 Dangerous Woman Tour.

Background and release

"Focus" was written by Grande, Savan Kotecha, Peter Svensson and its producers, Ilya Salmanzadeh and Max Martin.[1] Serban Ghenea mixed the song, assisted by John Hanes.[2] Grande began working on a new material for her third studio album in May 2015, posting details about the project on social media and in conversations with the public. The album was originally entitled Moonlight.[3] The singer posted an unfocused picture of herself on her Instagram page in July 2015 with the caption "Focus", calling it a "hint". A video released in September 2015 by iHeartMedia Music Summit demonstrated that Grande, Republic Records CEO Monte Lipman and her manager, Charlie Walk, played the song to the approval of the Republic Records staff.[4]

Grande announced the single during her September 15, 2015 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with a release date of October 30.[5] She began posting snippets of the song's lyrics, video and audio previews and pixelated versions of the single's cover in early October on Instagram and Twitter, and unveiled "Focus"' cover art on October 14. A week before the song's release date, A 15-second snippet of the track was used in a commercial for Ari by Ariana Grande, the singer's debut fragrance.[6] "Focus" was digitally released worldwide on October 30, 2015, and was added to hot adult contemporary playlists in the United States on November 2. It was later released to American and Italian contemporary hit radio stations on November 3 and 6 respectively. "Focus" was released as a maxi single in Japan on December 4, with regular version containing a mini-calendar and a mini-poster, whilst deluxe edition containing a poster and an A7-sized notebook.

Removal from Dangerous Woman

The song was originally intended to be the lead single of Grande's then-unnamed third studio album.[7] Republic Records later told Billboard that the track had been removed from the album's standard edition and that the lead single will be changed to "Dangerous Woman".[8] The song was moved to the album's Japan edition as a bonus track.[9] [10] Vulture editor Dee Locket explained that "Focus" was not included on the album's final cut because the song's rollout was not "remembered as a success – it was calculated to a fault, too polished for a time when pop's biggest stars, particularly its women, were letting their flaws bleed into the music."[11]

Music and lyrics

According to sheet music published by Kobalt Music on Musicnotes.com, "Focus" was written in the key of G minor and set in time at a moderate tempo of 100 beats per minute. Grande's voice ranges from C4 to G5.[12] A retro-styled song, "Focus" is based on a 1970s-inspired dance beat.[13] [14] [15] [16] According to Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone, its instrumentation features "stabbing big-band brass" (with saxophone, trumpet and a trombone), smooth synths and clanging percussion with synthesized handclaps and a cowbell.[17] The song's horn foundation has been compared to Grande's 2014 single, "Problem" (featuring Australian rapper Iggy Azalea) from her album, My Everything.[18] [19] In an Entertainment Tonight interview, Grande acknowledged "Focus"' similarity to "Problem"; she thought the former would be the "perfect transition record" from her last album to her new album, because it sounds like "Problem 2.0".[20]

Lyrically, Grande asks for attention and focus. According to Idolators Robbie Daw, the pre-chorus resembles the intro of KC and the Sunshine Band's 1975 disco song, "That's the Way (I Like It)".[15] [21] Marcus Floyd of Renowned for Sound wrote that in the second verse, Grande "addresses her haters and insists that they address her realness". Its "funky" chorus consists of the repeated phrase, "Focus on me", sung by American actor Jamie Foxx in a bass voice.[22] Grande explained the hook:

When I say, "Focus on me", I'm not asking to be the center of attention. I'm not asking you to focus on my face or my clothes or my body or my singing voice. By "focus on me", I literally mean focus on me. Focus on what I'm all about and what I believe in. The more we focus on each other as people and not on what we look like, what we're wearing, our gender, our hairstyle, our sexuality, the color of our skin. But focus on each other on a soul level. The more we realize how much we have in common, the more we listen to each other, the more one we become.[23]

Critical reception

Amy Davison from Digital Spy praised "Focus"' "sax-driven" beat;[24] The Verge Kaitlyn Tiffany called Grande a "massively talented vocalist", and "Focus" a "very pleasant" listen.[25] Times Nolan Feeney noted that although it was similar to "Problem", it may not have been a poor single decision.[26] On Renowned for Sound, Marcus Floyd called "Focus" predictably "catchy and attention grabbing"; the song ticks "all the boxes of an effective lead single." Giving it four out of five stars, he wrote that "Focus" is one of Grande's "stronger single releases" to date but did not "venture out" of her "comfort zone."[27] Steven J. Horowitz of Billboard gave the song two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that Grande had never released a "less-than-great" single until "Focus", which he considered a "weak" rehash of "Problem".[28]

Time called "Focus" the fifth-worst song of 2015, calling Grande's vocal "dwarfed" by "too-big instrumentals" as it had been on "Problem" and "Break Free"; however, the latter two had a "sustaining energy" which "Focus" lacked. The singer needed a "tightly constructed, elegant hit" after her 2015 doughnut controversy, "and this isn't it".[29] Although Brennan Carley of Spin called the song a "catchy slow-burn" and a "horn heavy piece of retro-modern fusion", Grande's vocals lacked "real excitement from a star who's got the restraint and skill to take her instrument places most other pop singers can't anymore." Carley criticized the song's "male howling" for "[getting] grating quickly" and making "Focus" too similar to "Problem".[18]

Music video

Background and synopsis

The music video for "Focus" was released on YouTube on October 29, 2015. Hannah Lux Davis, who directed the video, also directed the music videos for Grande's "Love Me Harder" and the singer's joint single, "Bang Bang".[34] The video features the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.[35]

The video begins with Grande texting the phrase "focus on me" on a cell phone. During the first verse, scenes of Grande lip-syncing the song are intercut with silhouettes of the singer dancing in a purple circle. She then performs a choreographed routine with six backing dancers on a purple set. During the second verse, she smiles and poses in a square wearing a black mini dress and high Toni Basil-style boots. For the song's bridge, the singer (in a star-print leotard, photographed in black-and-white) lies on a neon-lit set, plays a trumpet and performs with her dancers.[36] The video ends with her right eye illuminated. Teen Vogues Ella Cerón noted its "slightly throwback" visuals, which match the song.[37]

Reception
