Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored

"**Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored**" (written in all lowercase) is a song recorded by American singer Ariana Grande for her fifth studio album _Thank U, Next_ (2019). The song was written by Grande , Savan Kotecha and Kandi Burruss alongside its producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh, with Grande serving as a vocal producer. It contains an interpolation of the song "It Makes Me Ill" by American boy band NSYNC, written by Kandi Burruss, Kevin Briggs, thus both are also credited as songwriters.

The song entered the _Billboard_ Hot 100 at number two, while "7 rings" was at #1 and "thank u, next" was at #3; this made Grande the first solo artist to occupy the top three of the Hot 100 in the same week (and the first act overall since The Beatles).

Grande has performed the song during her Coachella Festival set in April 2019 (with *NSYNC) and on her Sweetener World Tour.
