- 0:54Speaker 1: welcome back to Music's Lost History, the song edition. This
- 0:58Speaker 1: one is looked upon as being a celebration of freedom, escape, partying,
- 1:04Speaker 1: and refusing. What? Yeah, refusing. To be boxed into one identity.
- 1:10Speaker 1: So how was such an expression even brought to life?
- 1:13Speaker 1: I mean, songs just don't happen. Its story is almost
- 1:17Speaker 1: as interesting as the song itself. The actual creation of
- 1:20Speaker 1: this piece of music had nothing to do with the
- 1:23Speaker 1: artist who actually made it famous. It was written by
- 1:26Speaker 1: Wayne Hector, Carl Falk, and Yami Jokob, who was doing
- 1:31Speaker 1: session work in Sweden. Now, it's Carl Falk's guitar riffs.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Hector developed the melody and chorus, and once laid out,

- 2:25Speaker 1: but then she didn't like the fame? Hey, thanks for
- 2:37Speaker 1: coming back to Music's Lost History, the song edition. Spontaneity
- 2:41Speaker 1: is so, so important when creating music, and this song
- 2:46Speaker 1: was no different. It's a huge part of her DNA.
- 2:51Speaker 1: The song isn't about machines that fly way, way high
- 2:54Speaker 1: into the sky. It's a metaphor for breaking away and
- 2:58Speaker 1: doing something even bigger. The message is to not let
- 3:02Speaker 1: people hold on to you. Don't let them get you down.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Have fun. Live in the moment. Be yourself, which is
- 3:09Speaker 1: exactly what this artist was showcasing with her skills as
- 3:13Speaker 1: a rap artist. But this wasn't going to be a
- 3:17Speaker 1: hip hop song. It was quickly turning into a dance
- 3:20Speaker 1: pop and EDM favorite. Uh-oh, Nicki was taking a huge
- 3:25Speaker 1: risk here. Her true fans accused her of selling out. Whatever.
- 3:31Speaker 1: In reality, in the end, it was a global superstar,
- 3:35Speaker 1: as in the ship. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj did not like doing the song. It's one
- 3:43Speaker 1: of the biggest regrets of her life.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Music!
- 3:50Speaker 1: The song we're talking about is Starship from Nicki Minaj.
- 3:54Speaker 1: That's Music's Lost History. I'm Arrow.
