Background[edit]
The song was written by Savan Kotecha, Max Martin, and Carolina Liar guitarist Rickard Göransson, while the latter two co-produced it with Ilya Salmanzadeh. Minaj added her rap later. Martin had already previously collaborated with Jessie J ('Domino'), Grande ('Problem', 'Break Free'), and Minaj ('Va Va Voom', 'Masquerade').
The song was originally offered to and recorded by Grande, who didn't like the result. Republic Records EVP Wendy Goldstein then sent it to EVP Rob Stevenson who got a demo of the song played to Jessie J, which she decided to record. Following her recording, Republic Records sent it to Minaj to record her verse. Goldstein then sent it to CEO Monte Lipman, who insisted that Grande listen to it. Grande was impressed, surprised by Jessie J and Minaj also being on the song, and agreed to remain on the song.[7][8] However in interviews, Jessie J stated she recorded it first and that Martin wanted Grande on it too, so it is unclear if Jessie bent the truth or was not told by executives that Grande was first to record.[9]

Vulture's Lindsey Weber thought the song was 'no Lady Marmalade' but praised it saying 'it's catchy enough to make a huge splash in the music history'.[21] Chris Martins from Spin stated that the song is 'powerful', and credits Minaj for the song's noteworthy energy. 'What makes the track so big? Well, um, ask Nicki Minaj.' He goes on to further praise Minaj's performance on the song, affirming that 'The 'Anaconda'-taming MC rips a few mics on the loud and proud pop-soul song'.[22] Lewis Corner from Digital Spy gave the song four and a half stars out of five and said that is 'one of the year's most electrifying pop anthems'.[23]
