The song is officially labelled as a remix by producer and DJ Blaqstarr, who she previously worked with on her song “Way Down in the Hole”. However, this is currently the only version available. Fans will have to wait for the other Diplo-produced original. With it’s thumping percussion and ultimately quite confusing lyrics such as “I’m a parrot/I’m robin this joint”, and “Staying rich like an ostrich” (prizes to whoever understands what that actually means) this is sure to get M.I.A. fans hyped for the album release on September 9th.
