Almost Is Never Enough

Almost is Never Enough was developed with the idea to delve into feelings of regret and reflection on coming so close to something good, yet not fully attaining it. Recorded by Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes, the song highlights the vocal chemistry between the two. It was inspired by classic love duets and aimed to capture the emotional authenticity found in that genre.
