"Break Free" is a song by American singer Ariana Grande featuring Russian-German music producer Zedd. Written by Savan Kotecha and its producers Zedd and Max Martin, it premiered on July 2, 2014, on Total Ariana Live, MTV's revival of Total Request Live.
The song was made available by digital download later that day and was serviced to contemporary hit and rhythmic radio on July 8, 2014, as the second single from Grande's second studio album My Everything (2014). Musically, the song explores EDM and electro genres, a musical departure for Grande, whose discography is primarily composed of pop and R&B.
