"Swalla"is a song by American singerJason Derulofeaturing Trinidadian-born rapperNicki Minajand fellow American singerTy Dolla Sign,released on February 24, 2017 byWarner Bros. Records.The song was written by the artists alongsideLunchMoney Lewis,Robert Diggs, Jacob Kasher Hindlin,Russell Jones.and producerRicky Reed.[2]The song was originally intended to be the first single from Derulo's album, titled777,however the album was never released.[3]It was later included on his fifth studio albumNu King(2024).

Background and release

[edit]

Derulo previewed "Swalla" in a video posted in August 2016.[4]He officially announced it as a single on January 2, 2017.[4]"Swalla" premiered on February 23, 2017,[5]and was released for download oniTunes Storethe next day.[6]While talking about the song on the red carpet of the59th Grammy Awards,Derulo said:

"I never believe in forcing a collaboration. You know, I’m a fan of both of theirs and I thought that they fit the track perfectly. It’s one of those ones that’ll get you up and doing your thing. I feel like it’s gonna stick out on the radio. There’s nothing that sounds like it."[5]

Parts of the chorus are created as an interpolation ofOl' Dirty Bastard's song "Shimmy Shimmy Ya".[7]

On May 12, 2017, the trio released "Swalla (After Dark Remix)", a slow-paced acoustic remix of the original song.[8]In an interview withThe Fader,Derulo said about the remix: "It was so nice we had to do it twice! The original version is the ultimate club track, so the idea was to give people the flip side of the song. The subject matter and melody is so sexy, but you might miss the 'sexy' in all the fun of 'Swalla'. So, 'After Dark' is on the opposite side of the spectrum and is SURE to set the mood."[8]

Critical reception

[edit]

Justin Ivey fromXXLwrote that Minaj "comes through to close out the track with bars that steal the show".[9]Joshua Espinoza ofComplexwrote that "Jason and Ty handle their verses nicely, but Nicki is definitely the star", also saying that the song "definitely has potential".[10]Rap-Upalso praised Minaj's verse saying that she "anchors the track with a third and final verse that many will likely assume is another thinly-veiled jab atRemy Ma".[11]Hilary Hughes fromMTV Newswrote that this is a "steamy number that has all three chiming in over a wobbly beat that would feel right at home on the floor of a beach club in theCaribbean".[12]
