"Adore" is a song recorded by Norwegian DJ and record producer Cashmere Cat, featuring vocals by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande. It was written and produced by Cashmere along with Benny Blanco and Lido, and co-written by Ammar Malik, Jeremih Felton, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Darryl Simmons. "Adore" was digitally released on March 3, 2015 by Friends Keep Secrets and Interscope Records.[1]

"Adore" is the second collaboration between Cashmere Cat and Grande, the first being the song "Be My Baby", from Grande's second studio album, My Everything (2014).[2][3] The song features a heavy dose of breathy, falsetto vocals, atmospheric elements, subtle dance beats and punches of clattering percussion, and a vocal interpolation of Johnny Gill's classic R&B hit "My, My, My".[3]

Live performances

The song was first presented on Grande's The Honeymoon Tour where Cashmere Cat performed the song with Grande during his opening act.[4] It was also performed as an interlude for the Sweetener World Tour [5] for leg 2 and 3

Critical reception

USA Today ranked the song as one of the 50 best in 2015, writing, "Grande’s towering vocals have never sounded better than on this offbeat R&B track."[6]
