“No Tears Left to Cry” is a Level 2A piano arrangement of the pop song by Ariana Grande, Savan Kotecha, Max Martin, and ILYA. This arrangement is written in 4/4 time with a smooth tempo marking of quarter note = 108–120. The student part uses simple melodic patterns, long held notes, accented chords, dynamic contrast, and an optional teacher duet that gives the piece a fuller pop-style sound.

Measures 1–4 introduce the main opening idea. The right hand carries a simple melodic line while the left hand supports it with long bass notes and held harmony.

Measures 5–8 repeat and continue the opening style. The melody stays smooth and steady, while the harmony underneath remains simple and spacious.

Measures 9–12 bring in a new melodic phrase with a slightly different shape. The right hand moves through a longer slurred line, while the left hand becomes more sparse. This creates a lighter sound before the next section.

Measures 13–16 shift into a more rhythmic middle section. The right hand uses repeated eighth-note patterns, and the optional pedal marking begins. This section has more motion than the opening material.

Measures 17–18 create a short chordal break. The melody pauses while accented left-hand chords add a stronger rhythmic punctuation.

Measures 19–21 return to a longer melodic line. The phrase begins softly and then grows toward a stronger accent and harmonic color.

Measures 22–24 close the arrangement with accented bass notes and a final melodic response. The ending returns to a quieter dynamic and brings the short arrangement to a clear close.

The optional teacher duet adds sustained chords, accents, and octave writing around the student part. It helps the arrangement sound fuller while the student part remains simple and clear.

Interesting fact: “No Tears Left to Cry” was released in 2018 as Ariana Grande’s first single from the album Sweetener. The song was written by Ariana Grande, Max Martin, ILYA, and Savan Kotecha.
