M.I.A. on David Letterman
D: Tonight's guest is the highly acclaimed, political and innovative rapper M.I.A.
MIA: Hello!
D: Hello! How are you?
MIA: I'm doing great. You?
D: Great.
*Awkward Silence*
MIA: So...
*Laughter*
D: *laughs* So...
MIA: Hi... again.
*Laughter*
D: Alright, down to business here. Congratulations on releasing your brand new single "Bad Girls".
MIA: Thank you.
*Applause*
D: So tell me, what is the song about?
MIA: Well the main lyric is "Live fast, die young / Bad girls do it well." so it's just about the rush of living in the moment and doing whatever and not giving a **** about anything.
D: Sounds a lot like your personality and music.
MIA: Yeah, definitely.
D: What made you switch to Revolution Records?
MIA: My label was taking way, too, ****ing long to release my record. I had enough of it so I left the label and here I am.
D: Well congratulations to that as I see Georgie Skai is taking great care of you. Well is he actually?
MIA: Of course, why not?
D: Well your single debuted with 120.000 copies sold, the lowest debut of the year. Why?
MIA: Well if you know me you'll know my intent is never to top the charts. It's about the music and that's purely it. I definitely do focus on my job and aim to be successful but debuts never matter to me, it's mainly about the final result.
*Applause*
D: Wow, that's very surprising to hear. Is that why you decided to do a mixtape?
MIA: Yes. I love my fans too much and we've all been waiting forever for new music.
D: When is the mixtape coming out and when is the album coming out?
MIA: The mixtape is coming very soon and the album will be out in March or April.
D: Well I'm sure everyone is excited, and you're scheduled to perform so let's get to it! Right after the break, M.I.A. will perform her new single "Bad Girls".
*After the break, M.I.A. performed her new single. She had two dancers that looked identical to her, wearing an organe veil with black shades and the same outfit. The performance was simple yet sharp as the three swayed their bodies left and right while singing the song. M.I.A. moved around stage acting at home and relaxed, serving rapper teas but serving singer teas as well. The crowd enjoyed the performance and M.I.A. had loads of fun performing*
D: That's M.I.A. everybody! "Bad Girls" is out now and we'll see ya next time!
