"Adore" is a song recorded by Norwegian musician, producer, DJ and turntablist Cashmere Cat, sung by American singer Ariana Grande, for his upcoming debut studio album. 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 March 3, 2015 by Friends Keep Secrets Records and Interscope Records.[1] Commercially, the song peaked at No. 93 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Cashmere Cat's first appearance on that chart.[2]

"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).[3][4] The song received its first performance on Grande's The Honeymoon Tour.[5] 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."[6]
