abstract
  • %22Starships%22 is a song by Trinidadian-American recording artist Nicki Minaj, taken from her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. It was released on February 14, 2012 by Young Money, Cash Money, Universal Republic as the lead single from the album. The song was written by Minaj, Nadir Khayat, Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Wayne Hector, and it was produced by RedOne, Yacoub, and Falk. %22Starships%22 received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its production, though they found it generic and criticized Minaj's transition towards pop music. The song is Minaj's most successful single to date, peaking inside the top five in over fifteen countries. It has become one of the best-selling singles of all time. The song also made U.S. Billboard history, debuting in the U.S. top ten, spending a total of 21 consecutive weeks there. Besides %22Super Bass%22 which holds eight-times-platinum certification, %22Starships%22 is Minaj's second-most certified, with six-times-platinum status in the U.S. Minaj has performed the song live in a number of appearances, and it was the encore performance on the Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour. The corresponding music video was shot on Oahu Island, Hawaii. Directed by Anthony Mandler, the video features Minaj on a beach in a bikini, and near the end of the video, it shows her at a party, dancing to the song. The music video was critically acclaimed from music critics, many praising the kaleidoscopic effects in the video and the carefree atmosphere. However, some critics noticed its postponed release, because the video for her single %22Beez in the Trap%22 was released before the video for %22Starships%22 was. With all the success, the song has also sparked controversy surrounding a pulled live performance. The song was included in the 2012 video game Dance Central 3 and is included in the best-selling video game Just Dance 2014. It is also one of the select few songs available on Just Dance 2014's demo version. In September 2013, electronic artist Clive Tanaka filed suit against Minaj and the writers of the song, claiming it infringed on his own composition and recording, %22Neu Chicago%22, but the lawsuit was later dismissed.
