Nicki Minaj Pound The Alarm

“Pound the Alarm” is a song by Trinidadian-American rapper and singer Nicki Minaj, serving as the fourth single from her second studio album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012). The song was written by RedOne, Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, Bilal Hajji, and Achraf Jannusi, with co-writing credits from Minaj, and production was handled by RedOne, Falk and Yacoub. Despite the song not winning the poll where Minaj asked fans to pick the next single from her album, Minaj went ahead and released “Pound the Alarm” due to a large number of airplay requests for the song.

Musically, “Pound the Alarm” is a Eurodance song that talks about having a good time and partying all night, as well as going to festivals/carnivals as the music video portrays. The song reached the top ten in Australia, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the song peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number one on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

The accompanying music video was shot in her native birth country, Trinidad and Tobago, and features Minaj performing at a national Trinidad and Tobago Carnival as well as dancing from locals of the country. The music video received positive reviews, many enjoying the fun atmosphere. The song was featured on Minaj’s Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour. The song is included in the game Just Dance 2014. It is also one of the select songs available on the demo version.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Come fill my glass up a little more
We ’bout to get up and burn this floor
You know we getting hotter, and hotter
Sexy, and hotter, let’s shut it down
Uh!

[Verse 1]
Yo, what I gotta do to show these girls that I own ’em?
Some call me Nicki, and some call me Roman
Skeeza, pleeza, I’m in Ibiza (Whoo)
Giuseppe Zanotti, my own sneaker
Sexy, sexy that’s all I do
If you need a bad bitch, let me call a few
Pumps on, and the little mini-skirts is out
I see some good girls, I’ma turn ’em out
Okay, bottle, sip, bottle, guzzle
I’m a bad bitch, no muzzle, hey?
Bottle, sip, bottle, guzzle
I’m a bad bitch, no muzzle, let’s go

[Pre-Chorus]
Music makes me high

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Come fill my glass up a little more
We ’bout to get up and burn this floor
You know we getting hotter, and hotter
Sexy, and hotter, let’s shut it down

[Drop]
Pound the alarm!
Pound the alarm!

[Verse 2]
I wanna do it for the night, night
So, get me now, and knock this over
I wanna do it like you like, like
Come get me, baby
We’re not getting younger
I just want you tonight, night
Baby, we won’t do it for life, life, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Music makes me high

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Come fill my glass up a little more
We ’bout to get up and burn this floor
You know we getting hotter, and hotter
Sexy, and hotter, let’s shut it down

[Drop]
Pound the alarm!
Pound the alarm!

[Breakdown]
Alarm!
Alarm!
Alarm!
Alarm!

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Come fill my glass up a little more
We ’bout to get up and burn this floor
You know we getting hotter, and hotter
Sexy, and hotter, let’s shut it down

[Drop]
Pound the alarm!
Pound the alarm!
Pound the alarm!
