- Ariana Grande discussed her creative partnership with Max Martin during a new episode of "Hot Ones."
- Grande said Martin had specific notes while producing her 2014 hit single "Break Free."
- Martin wanted Grande's voice to be "pingy" and "annoying," which she said she disliked at the time.
Today, "Break Free" is known as one of Ariana Grande's defining anthems. But when it was recorded over a decade ago, Grande herself wasn't completely on board.
