Hands On Me was produced by Hollywood Hot Sauce & Rodney Jerkins.
Ariana Grande released Hands On Me on Mon Aug 25 2014.
Although she hasn’t said anything specific about A$AP Ferg, Ariana did say this regarding the collaborations on My Everything:
I feel like a lot of people were surprised by the collaborations, but I feel like I’ve always been a little unexpected with my collaborations.
In an interview, A$AP Ferg talked about Ariana Grande and her then-boyfriend Big Sean:
She’s cool, we did performances and stuff together. You know she’s Big Sean’s girl, and Big Sean is like a brother to me, so it’s like a big family when we get together and turn up.
Rolling Stone ranked the track as Ariana’s #36 best song, saying:
The opening of the sensual “Hands on Me” evokes early 2000s Beyoncé, which is enough to give this song space on this list.
