Interesting facts and trivia about Swish Swish. By Songfacts®.

This self-empowerment song finds Katy Perry delivering a challenge to a hater: Keep calm, honey, I'ma stick around For more than a minute, get used to it Funny my name keeps comin' outcho mouth 'Cause I stay winning Fans took to Twitter as soon as the diss track was released to speculate if the song was targeting Perry's pop rival Taylor Swift. The "Shake It Off" hitmaker's betrayal anthem "Bad Blood" was widely believed to be aimed at Perry.

The song opens with a sweary sample of Fatboy Slim's 2000 club tune "Star 69", which is then repeated several other times over the course of the tune. The vocals on Fatboy's cut is itself a warped sample from DJ Le Roi ft. Roland Clark's deep house number "I Get Deep."

This features a verse by Nicki Minaj, in which she alludes to her beef with Remy Ma: Pink Ferragamo sliders on deck Silly rap beefs just get me more checks. This is the first ever collaboration between Perry and Minaj. However, the Californian songstress has also worked with several other superstars from the world of hip-hop, including Snoop Dogg, Kanye West and Migos.
