Background

On August 7, 2020, Cardi B released the single "WAP", a collaboration with American rapper Megan Thee Stallion.[4] The song achieved worldwide success, reaching number one in multiple countries, including Australia, Canada and the UK.[5][6] The single also spent a total of four weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100.[7] On October 1, 2020, it was revealed that she was already "plotting her next move". However, she also clarified that she does not desire to put out music too frequently in order not to succumb to the label's pressure, saying "I feel like I'm not gonna let that shit get to me to the point that I'm gonna put out a song that I'm not really in love with just 'cause".[8] On January 31, 2021, the rapper teased towards an announcement she was going to make the day after.[9] She revealed the song title alongside the cover art the following day, February 1.[10]
