Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj have joined forces on a new house-tinged song, “Swish Swish,” the third track lifted from Perry’s upcoming album Witness.
Produced by Duke Dumont, the dance pop hybrid opens with the iconic sample which fills up Fatboy Slim’s 2000 tune “Star 69”.

Over a bouncy deep house loop, Perry compares herself to a tiger, declaring that one “don’t lose no sleep/ don’t need opinions/ from a shellfish or a sheep.” After claiming herself as a “courtside killer queen,” she proceeds to play more into basketball metaphors on the song’s chorus. “Swish, swish, bish/ Another one in the basket.”
Later, Minaj references both her “silly rap beefs” and Perry’s “Bon Appetit” collaborators Migos in a meaty set of bars. Listen below.
Perry and Minaj have yet to confirm if the song is attacking Taylor Swift, who allegedly wrote her single “Bad Blood” about Perry and had a harsh Twitter exchange with Minaj ahead of the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.
Prior to the release of “Swish Swish,” Perry talked around the feud rumors in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, though she did directly quote a line from “Swish Swish” by saying “don’t come for me.” Fueling the rumors further, Swift’s friend Ruby Rose accused Perry of going “low” with new song.
Perry’s Witness will be released on June 9th and she will launch a tour in support of the LP in September.
