Zedd and Ariana Grande’s long-awaited collaboration titled “Break Free” just premiered on MTV, and to be frank, I’m disappointed yet unsurprised with the result. With every new production and collaboration, Zedd distances himself from those lovable complextro riffs and overly-sawed synths, which took little Anton from his Myspace days to his main stage performances. With “Break Free”, Zedd does attempt to juxtapose those old electro-infused melodies with Ariana Grande’s pop-y addition, but with little success. Zedd’s input tends to take a back seat to Ariana’s vocals. Other than the bass line and faint melody, “Break Free” is mostly about Ariana and her forgettable lyrics.
My favorite parts? The first 5 seconds and the last 10. Sadly, those will most likely be omitted from the inevitable radio edit. 
hence why it says “featuring zedd” not “zedd ft. ariana grande. it’s her song.
hahaha the first 5 sec and last 10…he should make those few seconds into a full track. somewhere in there i thought it might be good as an instrumental but the more i listened the more it sounded like super disney pop star musical
Am I the only one that thinks it sounds good for a Pop song?
This is terrible. Zedd needs to remember his roots and stop making pop music, he has enough fucking money at this point.
not even gonna torrent this shit …
it’s a pop track, just accept it for what it is, zedd has always been versatile, and us producers gotta make money
two words for this song radio shit
It’s a good pop song, very well produced. Hop off his dick.
i kinda liked it lol
Even Shakira’s songs are more eletronic than this
iremember when Zedd make good tracks! 🙁
Since this is a Ariana Grande song it means that its directed to Ariana fans not Zedd fans. I don’t even see this as bad music the melody and chords are great, also the track is well produced.
I like it as the pop song that it is
