“I don’t care about all the other shit, the numbers. I don’t give a shit. That video is my Grammy, right there. That is my award and I’m so grateful.”
The track featured on Lizzo’s recent album ‘Special’. The record was awarded four stars by NME which described it as the rapper uplifting “with self-assured, self-empowering bops”.

The rapper previously revealed revealed that Cardi B helped inspire her to write the track ‘I Love You Bitch’, from her new album.
“Shortly after [2021 collaboration] ‘Rumors’ with Cardi B dropped, Cardi tweeted that she wanted to hear a love song from me next. And I was like, ‘OK, if Lizzo did a love song, what would it be? ‘I love you, bitch?’,” Lizzo explained.
