Nicki Minaj New Song 2014 News: Skylar Grey Explains Unlikely Collaboration for Newly Released Single 'Bed of Lies' [Listen]
After premiering it live at the MTV Europe Music Awards last week, Nicki Minaj finally released her latest single titled "Bed of Lies" featuring Skylar Grey.
The Kane Beatz-produced ballad opens with Grey's vocal hook over soft piano chords.
"Do you ever think of me when you lie? / Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies," she sings.
Then, Nicki Minaj calls out her ex, presumably rumored former boyfriend Safaree Samuels.
"You could never make eye contact / Everything you got was based off of my contacts," she raps. "You was with me way before I hit a quarter mil' in it / Put you in the crib and you ain't never pay a bill in it / I was killin' it, man, you got me poppin' pills in it."
Grey recently discussed the "Anaconda" rapper's personal track about her bitter relationship.
"She kind of poured her heart out on the verses," Grey told Billboard. "I personally think as a fan it's a nice contrast to her other singles on the record. You get to see another side of her."
The "Coming Home" singer also explained how her collaborative track ended up appearing on Nicki Minaj's latest project.
"The song started being written almost a year ago, and then she picked it up and wrote her verses on it," Grey said. "Luckily, she liked the demo of it enough to keep me on the song. When I heard that she was taking the song, I was surprised because it's not a typical kind of song for her. .... She seemed to take it to a very personal place."
"Bed of Lies" will be featured on Nicki Minaj's highly anticipated third studio album "The Pinkprint," which is set for a release on Dec. 15. Check out the new track featuring Grey below:
