Max Martin shopped the song around to both her and Ariana Grande, and that the duo decided to just do it together.
I recorded the first verse, and then Nicki was played it in the studio and was like, ‘I’ve gotta jump on this.
We didn’t go to her and ask; she wanted to do it. I’ll never forget: I was in my bedroom in my flat in London, and I got sent the version with Nicki on it. I just sat at the end of the bed holding my phone, staring at the floor, going, ‘How the f… did I land this?
