Cardi B Premieres New Song “Up” on Apple Music 1
American rapper Cardi B premiered a new song “Up” on Zane Lowe's Apple Music 1, following the collaboration single "WAP" featuring Megan Thee Stallion.
The track was written by Yung Dza, DJ SwanQo and Cardi B. The song interpolates Ice Cube's 1990 single “Once Upon a Time in the Projects”.
Cardi B said of the song, “The biggest inspiration for this song. I wanted a more hood song. I feel like my last song was too sexy, Offset. I feel like this is more like of an Atlanta thing, I don't know, a Georgia thing. He kept saying “up and stuck” and I'm like “oh shit, I keep saying up and a stuck out of nowhere because that's something that I started saying this year. He always say it, but I feel like this year it's just like more and more, so I'm like, alright, this is some gangsta shit and that's what I like and that's why I wanted to do something more gangsta, more cocky.”- rCiBgLOcuKU

The accompanying music video was directed by Tanu Muino. She took the video in two days. She said, “It was two days. The first day we was on set, the first day I woke up at 5 in the morning, I got Offset at 6. And we left like at 2AM and what not. And the next day, we started like at 12 and we left at like 6 in the morning. So that's like a two day thing.”
She plans to release a new album this year and has “like 50 songs” recorded. “I'm just still not satisfied,” she said. “If I'm not satisfied, I'm just not satisfied, but I really want to put out an album this year. I feel like I have no choice now. Now, I feel like I exceeded my limit of holding. I just need to stop with the fear.”- source : Apple Music
