The first New Music Friday of March, and it’s bringing out the best in some of our favourite female artists. First up we heard Nicki Minaj’s first single of 2023, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which is already receiving rave reviews from fans. Next up for your consideration is a new title from BIA, “SIXTEEN,” which landed on DSPs ahead of her performance at Rolling Loud California on Saturday (March 4).

The track comes via Epic Records, with production crafted by Aziz the Shake and Tim Nihan. Of everything we’ve heard from the Boston-born lyricist so far, this stands to be some of her most emotionally charged work yet. On the chorus, she chants, “Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, ‘F*ck you’ / I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to,” reminding listeners that she certainly wasn’t born into this life.

It’s been a big few weeks for BIA. While awaiting the arrival of “SIXTEEN,” she took a trip to Milan where she performed at Philipp Plein’s F/W 2023 runway show. Earlier in February, she also joined The Kid LAROI at the AT&T NBA All-Star Pregame Performance where they kept the crowd entertained with some of their biggest hits. According to a press release, more new music from the Los Angeles-based artist is on the way soon.

Prior to dropping her first solo effort of the year, we heard the 31-year-old on Snakehips’ “Solitude” with Lucky Daye, as well as on the Queen Mix of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl.” Before that, she and J. Cole came together for one of BIA’s most popular releases to date, “LONDON.”

Lyrics

[Intro]
Aziz (Aziz, Aziz)
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?

[Chorus]
Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, “Fuck you” (Fuck you)
I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to (Up to)
We weren’t broke together, tell me how the fuck I trust you? (Trust you)
I left mama house, bitch, I ain’t have nowhere to run to (Run to)

[Verse 1]
Who the fuck gon’ pay my bills, ho?
I ain’t even did my nails, ho
You gon’ make me beat your ass, at sixteen, I done had to pay my bail, ho
Dryin’ my clothes on the radiator (Shee)
Movin’ in silence, can’t wake the neighbor
Duckin’ the staties in aviators, I just put my city on, you thank me later (Grr, baow)
Bitch, I had to forеign the whip (Skrr)
I had to woodgrain the dash in that shit
I can afford to put gas in that shit (Gas in that)
Brand new account with no cash in that (Frrt)
Waitеd my turn, now I’m havin’ that
I want that man, you can have him back
So sick of showin’ bitches how to rap
Uh

[Chorus]
Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, “Fuck you” (Fuck you)
I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to (Up to)
We weren’t broke together, tell me how the fuck I trust you? (Trust you)
I left mama house, bitch, I ain’t have nowhere to run to (Run to)

[Verse 2]
He told me, “Get up and go,” so I brought the table with me (Yeah, ho)
I played The Hollywood Bowl and I brought the label with me (Yeah, ho)
I don’t have time for these hoes that ain’t who they claimin’ to be (Claimin’ to be, bitch)
I do not chat on the phone, so speak with my management, peacefully handle it
Me with no money, it felt like abandonment
Bein’ honest, I’m just not a fan of it
Say he got a big ego, I damaged it
Had to make sure we not where the cameras is
I’m with the scammers and we gettin’ scandalous
Smokin’ on cannabis, hopefully Drake get my people in Canada
Run through the money, bitch, I got the stamina (Ho)
Huh

[Chorus]
Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, “Fuck you” (Fuck you)
I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to (Up to)
We weren’t broke together, tell me how the fuck I trust you? (Trust you)
I left mama house, bitch, I ain’t have nowhere to run to (Run to)

[Outro]
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
