"Starships" is a song by Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj. It was released on the date February 14, 2012 by Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal Republic as the lead single from her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012). The song was written by Nicki Minaj, Nadir Khayat, Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, Bilal Hajji, and Wayne Hector, and it was produced by RedOne, Yacoub, and Falk.
"Starships" peaked top ten in fifteen countries. It also reached number five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and spent a total of 21 consecutive weeks in the top ten.[1] As of 2014, the song has sold 4.5 million digital downloads in the U.S. and has been certified nine times platinum by the RIAA, becoming her second-highest certified solo single in the U.S. The song is among the best-selling singles of all time worldwide, with 7.2 million copies sold as of December 2012.
The corresponding music video was shot on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and was directed by Anthony Mandler. The music video was well received by music critics, many praising the kaleidoscopic effects in the video and the carefree atmosphere. The music video won Best Female Video at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards.[2] The song was included in the 2012 video game Dance Central 3 and it is included in the best-selling video game Just Dance 2014. It is one of the few songs available on Just Dance 2014's demo version.
Minaj has performed the song live in a number of appearances, and it was the encore performance on the Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour. In September 2013, electronic artist Clive Tanaka filed a lawsuit against Minaj and the writers of the song, claiming it infringed on his own composition and recording "Neu Chicago",[3] but the lawsuit was dismissed.[4] Minaj later voiced regret over releasing the song.[5][6][7]
