We love a superstar collab, and the past couple of years have given us some great ones, like “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat and SZA, “Rain on Me” with Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga, and “WAP” with Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. Today’s new drop from Dua Lipa and Meg might be the latest addition to that list of hits.
The pop singer and rapper linked up for “Sweetest Pie,” a sexy yet playful upbeat track that sees Megan on the verses and Lipa on the chorus and bridge. This marks both artists’ first release of 2022, and they delivered a total bop.
Of course, the duo also gave us a video to go along with the release, and they didn’t skimp on the visuals. The concept was created by Megan, featuring surreal fantasy and horror elements in a magical jungle. It doesn’t end there, though; when two men trespass into Meg and Dua’s lair, things turn…apocalyptic.
Megan told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 that she was inspired to team up with Lipa after seeing so many people making mashups of their songs. But she wanted to make sure she had the right beat for their collaboration.
“I be seeing everybody making mashups of me and Dua songs and I’m like, ‘No, this sounds too good. We have to make a song,’” she said. “So when I hit her up about it, I was like, ‘Dua, I really want us to do a song, but I got to find that right beat. It has to be perfect.’ So I didn’t just send her no any track. I waited till I had the perfect one and I feel like we both came to a mutual agreement that it was greatness. And now we got Sweetest Pie.”

Megan explained that Lipa was “so chill” to work with and not “a diva,” even though she thought she looked “kind of mean” on Instagram.
“Dua is so chill. When I first saw her on Instagram, I was like, oh my gosh, I don’t know what it’s given. She really look kind of mean. I don’t know. I didn’t know how she was going to be. But when I met her, I was like, ‘Love, you might be my friend.’ She is so cool. She’s so chill. She just has a really calming spirit, and she’s so sweet. And anything that she really didn’t like, it was such an easy tweak or an easy fix. I feel like we pretty much liked everything, but anything … she wasn’t a diva. You know what I’m saying? It was just super easy the whole time, and I really liked that about her. Because she could be a diva, but she is just so humble. We are all divas in our own right. But what I’m saying is she was just very sweet. She was very kind. And I feel like right now, everybody is not like that. So shout out to a kind person in the industry because you don’t meet a lot of them.”
We’re glad it all worked out.
