On “Dangerous Woman"—a slow, edgy, pop-rock, R&B track—Grande revels in the excitement and power she feels when she’s with her man.

In an Instagram post, Grande revealed the title comes from Egyptian feminist writer Nawal El Saadawi’s 1975 novel Woman at Point Zero:

They said, “You are a savage and dangerous woman.” I am speaking the truth. And the truth is savage and dangerous.

In an interview with Billboard, Ariana explained that:

To me, a dangerous woman is someone who’s not afraid to take a stand, be herself and to be honest.

In February 2016, Grande retitled her album to “Dangerous Woman” from the original “Moonlight,” saying that it “represents more accurately where I’m at now.”
