"Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" is a song by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released on February 8, 2019, by Republic Records as the third and final single from her fifth studio album, Thank U, Next (2019). The song was written by Grande, Savan Kotecha, Kandi Burruss, Kevin Briggs, and the producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh. The pop, R&B and trap song consists of an interpolation the NSYNC song "It Makes Me Ill" in the bridge. The lyrics depict Grande convincing a man to break up with his girlfriend.
"Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" peaked at number one in eight countries and received platinum certifications in 11 countries. The song debuted and peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, allowing Grande to become the second artist after the Beatles to have songs on the top three positions of the Hot 100 and the first solo and female artist to accomplish this feat. An accompanying music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and depicts Grande in a love triangle with a couple including a doppelgänger of herself. A scene in the video was compared to Single White Female (1992), while some publications criticized it for queerbaiting. Grande included "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" on the setlist of the Sweetener World Tour and performed the song with NSYNC on the first show at the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
