Later that month, in an interview with ''Rolling Stone'', Grande stated that she had begun writing and working on her second studio album and had already completed two songs.〔 Recording sessions began in October 2013 with Grande working with previous producers from her debut album Harmony Samuels and Tommy Brown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.musictimes.com/articles/3392/20140113/ariana-grande-twitter-announces-shes-working-second-album-studio.htm )〕 Grande was initially aiming at releasing the album around February 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.disneydreaming.com/2013/10/31/ariana-grande-starts-working-on-her-second-album/ )〕 In January 2014, Grande confirmed she had been working with new producers Ryan Tedder, Savan Kotecha, Benny Blanco, Key Wane and Max Martin. Grande stated in late February that she wanted to name her album after a song she had finished that weekend that is very honest and makes her cry. It was announced on March 3, 2014 that Grande would be featured on the fifth single from Chris Brown's album ''X'' titled "Don't Be Gone Too Long". The single was originally set for release on March 25, 2014. However, it was postponed due to Brown being sent to jail awaiting trial on assault charges. Grande had announced the song's delay on March 17, 2014 via Twitter stating "My loves… so obviously some things have changed recently... So we have to delay the dbgtl countdown, some things are out of our control".〔 That same night she held a live stream to make up for the single's delay, where she previewed four new songs from her second album. Two days following the announcement, Grande revealed that due to the song's delay, she would be releasing the first single from her upcoming sophomore studio album instead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.covermg.com/grande-confirms-brown-single-is-on-hold/ )〕 She finished working on the album in late May 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.disneydreaming.com/2014/05/23/ariana-grande-is-completing-her-sophomore-album-this-week/ )〕 On June 28, Grande confirmed the title of the album to be ''My Everything'' and the release date to be August 25, 2014. The photos for the packaging in the album were taken on May 27, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bopandtigerbeat.com/2014/05/ariana-grande-teases-problem-music-video-its-coming-soon/ )〕 Grande stated that she chose the cover artwork because she felt that "each song is so strongly themed that I just wanted to have a very simple overall cover. So that within each song we could create more visual themes."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NorphRjDAyc )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Everything (Ariana Grande album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
