This Nicki Minaj, Daniel Johnson and Ester Dean penned song is a track from the deluxe edition of Pink Friday. The Young Money diva explained the song's meaning to MTV News: "'Super Bass' is about the boy that you are crushing over," she said. "And you kind of want to get your mack on, but you're taking the playful approach."
A video was shot for the song in which Minaj can be seen in a skintight pink bodysuit wearing a half-blond and half-pink wig. She explained the focus behind the visual to MTV News: "I just wanted to do something real colorful and cutesy. This is an icy world, it's a sexy world, it's a playful world. Of course I have lots of eye candy for my girls and my boys."
After Taylor Swift stated that she's a fan of the song and played the track on air, Minaj indicated that the country star's unsolicited promotion of the track influenced the decision to release it as a single.
