Va Va Voom
"Va Va Voom" is a song by rapper Nicki Minaj from the deluxe edition of her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012). It was released on October 23, 2012 by Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal Republic as the sixth and final single from the album.
The song was written by Minaj, producers Lukasz Gottwald, Allan Grigg and Henry Walter, and Max Martin. It was planned to serve as the album's lead single, but its release was postponed at the last minute in favor of "Starships". It was sent to UK radio stations on September 15, 2012 and later sent to Top 40 mainstream radio on October 23, 2012. The song is on the deluxe edition of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded and was later included in the album's reissue, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up.
"Va Va Voom" is a dance-pop and electropop song with lyrics about seduction. Upon release, the song received positive reviews from critics. Commercially, it entered the top twenty in several countries including Ireland, Slovakia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. An accompanying music video was shot in December 2011, but was initially shelved after Minaj decided not to release "Va Va Voom" as the album's lead single, because she was not happy with the video's end result.
"Va Va Voom" was written by Minaj, Lukasz Gottwald, Allan Grigg, Max Martin and Henry Walter, with production by Dr. Luke, Kool Kojak and Cirkut. It was intended to be the lead single from Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. It was to be solicited to rhythmic contemporary radio stations on February 7, 2012. It was later postponed a week to February 14, 2012, with a release to contemporary hit radio scheduled for the same date. However, Minaj announced that "Starships" would instead be released as the lead single.
On May 24, 2012, a poll was posted on Minaj's website, asking fans to help select the next singles, the poll is divided into three categories, the third category asks to choose the second worldwide pop single, the choices were: "Pound the Alarm", "Whip It", and "Va Va Voom". "Va Va Voom" had the most votes and won the poll. "Whip It" came in second place and "Pound The Alarm" came in third. However, after several radio stations in the UK, France, and Australia started heavily playing "Pound the Alarm", Minaj announced on June 6, 2012, that "Pound The Alarm" has been chosen instead. "Va Va Voom" was eventually solicited to contemporary hit radio in the United States on October 23, 2012.
Musically, "Va Va Voom" was described as "a sultry, electro-pop thumper" by Digital Spy. Lyrically, the song talks about "seduction finds Minaj playing the temptress atop some delicious dub-lite pulsations." It contains the lyrics "I know that he got a wife at home, but I need just one night alone." The verses of the song are rapped, while the bridge and chorus are sung. "Va Va Voom" is set in common time with a tempo of 127 beats per minute. Written in the key of C minor, it follows the chord progression Cm–E♭–B♭–A♭; Minaj's voice spans from A♭3 to B♭4.
According to MTV's Kara Klenk, "Va Va Voom" remains a "stand out track" on the album, along with "Beautiful Sinner," "Come on a Cone" and "Beez in the Trap." Sarah Crafford of The Sun Chronicle recommended the song to listeners who favored Minaj's pop tracks, complimenting the song as a "catchy, sing-along and soon-to-be hit." Bradley Stern from MuuMuse was said the song was "insanely infectious" and "an unbelievably sickening (in the good way!) pop tune". Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine described the song as "the most obvious successor to Minaj's crossover hit "Super Bass"." David Jeffries from AllMusic chose "Va Va Voom" as a standout track on the album.
Following the album's release, "Va Va Voom" sold 46,000 downloads, prompting it to debut at number seventy-nine on the Billboard Hot 100, eventually peaking at number twenty-two. It also debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at number seventy-four. The song also garnered success across American Billboard charts, charting at number fifty on the Hot Digital Songs chart, 45 on the Hot Canadian Digital Songs chart, fifteen on the Rap Digital Songs, and twenty-one on the Pop Digital Songs. As of December 2014, "Va Va Voom" has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States.
