Ring (feat. Kehlani)

This smooth R&B jam features Cardi B and guest vocalist Kehlani complaining that their lovers don't "ring" them anymore. Nah, nigga now you gon' have to call me (call me) 'Cause I'm lookin' at these messages, they all me (yeah). A vulnerable Cardi expresses her pain as she waits by the phone for her man to call her.

The song was co-produced by: Michigan native Needlz, whose resume also includes supplying keyboard and drum programming plus strings for Bruno Mars' 2010 chart-topper "Just The Way You Are." Scribz Riley who is known for collaborating with artists such as Tove Lo ("Thousand Miles") and Khalid ("Winter").

"Ring" was co-penned by Los-Angeles based songwriter Nija Charles, who has also worked with the likes of Boi-1da, Diplo, and DJ Mustard as well as helping to write Jason DeRulo's 2018 FIFA World Cup anthem "Colors". She originally wrote a whole song, and Cardi ended up liking the hook, so the rapper and Kehlani added their own verses. Nija recalled to Genius: "I originally wrote 'Ring' as a full demo, it probably took me 30-45 minutes to make the whole song, but the hook came instantly. Once I got in the booth, it came out, so that took about 5-10 minutes to do."
