"Bang Bang" is a song by English singer-songwriter Jessie J, American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande, and Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj. It was released by Lava and Republic Records on 28 July 2014 as the lead single from Jessie J's third studio album, Sweet Talker (2014). The song was written by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Rickard Göransson, Grande and Minaj. It was produced by Martin, Göransson, and Ilya, with Kuk Harrell serving as a vocal producer. It is also included on the deluxe version of Grande's second studio album My Everything (2014), serving as the third single from that album.

"Bang Bang" debuted at number six and later peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom becoming Jessie's third number-one, Grande's second number-one debut that year, and Minaj's first number-one single on the chart. The song reached the top ten in multiple other countries including Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, and South Korea. In 2024, "Bang Bang" was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over 10 million equivalent units in the US, becoming Jessie J's and Grande's first and Minaj's second song to achieve the milestone. It additionally marked the first all-female collaboration in history to be certified diamond.

The song received universal acclaim for Jessie's and Grande's vocal performance, its production, and Minaj's verse. "Bang Bang" was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 57th Grammy Awards in 2015 and won Favorite Song of the Year at the 2015 Kids' Choice Awards, as well as Best Collaboration at the 2015 iHeart Radio Music Awards. The song's music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and released on 24 August 2014, and has over 2 billion views on YouTube as of July 2024.

Background

[edit]

The song was written by Savan Kotecha, Ariana Grande, 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 did not 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.[3][4] 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.[5] Jessie later said that "It was like a real females, coming together, empowering, supportive [vibe], and then Nicki jumping on it was like the icing on the cake."[6]

On various dates in July 2014, each of the artists uploaded snippets of the song on each of their Instagram profiles: Jessie J on 9 July,[7][8] Minaj on 23 July,[9] and Grande on 4 July.[10] The song was released as the lead single from Jessie J's third studio album, Sweet Talker (2014), and as the third single of Grande's second studio album, My Everything (2014), appearing on the deluxe version of the latter.[11][12]

"Bang Bang" is an up-tempo, "soulful" song, that features a "clap-heavy" production, built over "big bouncy beats and horn blasts."[13][14] The song mixes pop with Minaj's rap verses making it a hip pop song.[15] The melody of the chorus has been compared to the melody of the first line of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!.[16]

Critical reception

[edit]

"Bang Bang" received critical acclaim from critics. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone called the song a "perfect Max Martin throwdown" that "fuses Nelly's 'Country Grammar' with Wham!'s 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,' which is some truly twisted pop archaeology."[17] Carolyn Menyes from Music Times called the song "[a] Huge successful hit of Summer 2014" and thought that "[the] song is going straight to the top of the charts."[16] Zach Frydenlund from Complex praised Jessie J's and Ariana's heavenly vocals in the song but concentrated more on Nicki's "catchy killer verse" stating that "it's Nicki who really steals the show with her verse".[18] Jason Lipshutz from Billboard responded positively to the song, saying that the song itself "[is] composed of piercing vocals courtesy of two contemporary crooners, as well as rapid-fire spitting from the hottest female MC on the planet, "Bang Bang" rests tidily upon the Jessie J assertion, "See anybody could be good to you/You need a bad girl to blow your mind."[19]

Vulture's Lindsey Weber thought the song was "no 'Lady Marmalade,'" but praised it saying "it's catchy enough to make a splash.”[20] 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."[21] 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."[22]

The songs first-week sales marked the third largest debut for any song in 2014, behind Grande's own "Problem" which opened with 438,000 downloads on the chart dated May 4, and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" which sold 544,000 downloads through the week ending August 24; all three of the aforementioned songs were co-written by Max Martin.[29] The song launched on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number six, marking the second-highest new entry of 2014 on that chart at the time, also behind Grande's "Problem" which started at number three.[30] The song marked Jessie J's second, Grande's third, and Minaj's milestone tenth top ten single in the United States.

Following the release of its music video, "Bang Bang" reached its peak of number three, holding that position for two non-consecutive weeks, being kept off the top spot by Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" and Swift's "Shake It Off". Overall, "Bang Bang" spent sixteen consecutive weeks in the Hot 100's top ten, and a total of 31 weeks charting. In May 2024, "Bang Bang" was certified diamond by the RIAA for selling over 10 million equivalent units in the US. It became Jessie J's and Grande's first and Minaj's second song to be certified diamond, and the first all-female collaboration in history to achieve the milestone.[31]

On Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Songs) chart, "Bang Bang" debuted at number 19 and later reached a peak of number two, becoming Jessie J's highest charting hit on mainstream radio since her 2012 single "Domino" also peaked at number two.

In the United Kingdom, "Bang Bang" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart with 92,000 downloads, becoming Jessie J's third, Grande's second, and Minaj's first number-one single in the country.
