when is it launching?

Nicki lives in California so she's on PST time. Unless she says otherwise, it'll probably be coming with the iTunes update tonight at or around 11:00 PM EST

Shake It Off is currently #1 and almost all of the top 40 are selling at least a fifth of that.
I think this has a good chance of going #1 on iTunes.

get prepared to be slayed

No leak this time too. Just an iTunes release. They better buy it.

Mess

Too much people in here

It would be great if they all started/ended their verses with the same line.

This has potential to be one of the best tracks of 2014, or a giant mess.

I hope this song turns out amazing I want another legendary verse like the Monster verse from Nicki

So glad the UK just changed to DST. We're only 4 hours behind for a month or so, so I'll only have to stay up until 3, assuming it goes up at 11pm.

It's sad that most of ATRL (outside Nicki fans) will shoot this down because it's too Urban and a single. I feel like it would be more appreciated by outsiders as a promo single/album track. I guess they'll shout her praises for Hey Mama though.

For the first time in my life, I don't want this track to be electronic-influenced. I want it to have a straight, hard hip hop beat.

Oh God, I'm so excited...

CB probably on the chorus if its a pop friendly song

Drake prob on the hook if its a Hip Hop song with CB doing a verse

OR ... CB and Drake sharing the hook !?!?!? imagine !!!! like Drake & Future shared Waynes "Love Me" hook

So its confirmed that CB on hook with Nicki/Wayne/Drake with verses ?

Yeah, by Jeff on Twitter (@jeff1317), he's an industry insider and always spills tea.
