Ariana Grande’s fans have been wowed after the pop singer shared behind-the-scenes footage of her recording the single, “Positions”.

The clip, posted on Grande’s social media, shows her working out the layers of harmonies on the bridge and coming up with new note combinations.

“I love this kind of content where we can see the whole process,” one fan wrote in the replies. “You’re so talented and creative. I’m so proud of you. Seeing you build that bridge, adding tons of harmonies. This is so satisfying and fascinating.”

“The way you use your voice has always been super interesting to me,” another fan told Grande.

“Positions” was released in October last year as the lead single to Grande’s album of the same name, and was written by Grande and a host of co-writers, including Angelina Barrett and Brian Vincent Bates.

It follows Grande as she sings about being willing to change her lifestyle to accommodate her lover.
