AMAs 2015: Ariana Grande Brings 'Focus' to Lineup Ahead of New Album 'Moonlight'

The 2015 American Music Awards are about to get a little more "Focus." On Thursday (Nov. 12), the AMAs announced that Ariana Grande is joining the award show lineup.

According to E! Online, Grande will perform her new single "Focus" at the show. Released on Oct. 30, the high energy track is the lead single off of Grande's forthcoming third studio album Moonlight.

Grande is a familiar face at the AMAs. In 2013, she stunned with a performance of "The Way" and "Tattooed Heart" and she also performed a medley of her big hits, including "Problem," "Break Free" and "Love Me Harder" with The Weeknd at last year's ceremony.

But this year, Grande is not only a performer at the AMAs, she is also a two-time nominee. She is up for the illustrious Artist of the Year against juggernauts such as Taylor Swift, One Direction and Ed Sheeran as well as Favorite Female Artist - Pop/Rock.

Grande's addition to the AMAs lineup continues to round out the show's massive performance lineup. Earlier this week, it was announced that Coldplay, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and Gwen Stefani had been added to the AMAs roster. Other previously announced performers include 5 Seconds of Summer, Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato, Pentatonix, Walk the Moon and One Direction.

The 2015 AMAs will air on Sunday, Nov. 22.
