Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Pound The Alarm. By Songfacts®.

This "let's get wasted at the club" fist-pumper finds Minaj singing about filling her "glass up a little more" before getting up and burning "this floor" as a preliminary to a one-night stand.

Nicki warns her man, "I'm a bad bitch, no muzzle," meaning that whilst muzzles prevent dogs from barking, nobody can stop her from saying what she wants to say, as she is a 'bad bitch.'

Some critics have claimed this song is similar sounding to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded's lead single, "Starships." However Swedish/Moroccan hitmaker RedOne, who produced both tracks told MTV News that "Pound the Alarm" is sonically edgier. "It's got the pop element, but it's got some hard-core elements, some dance underground elements," he said.
