"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]
The song was first presented on Grande's The Honeymoon Tour where Cashmere Cat performed the song with Grande during his opening act. [4]
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." [5]
