"Adore" is a song recorded by Norwegian DJ and record producer Cashmere Cat, featuring vocals by American singer Ariana Grande. It was written by Cashmere along with Benjamin Levin, Ammar Malik, Jeremih Felton, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Darryl Simmons and Peder Losnegard. The song was released digitally on 3 March 2015 by Friends Keep Secrets Records and Interscope Records. Commercially, the song peaked at number 93 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Cashmere Cat's first appearance on that chart. The song features a heavy dose of breathy, falsetto vocals, atmospheric elements, subtle dance beats and punches of clattering percussion, plus a vocal interpolation of Johnny Gill's classic R&B hit "My, My, My."
"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). The song received its first performance on Grande's The Honeymoon Tour.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."
