The first time I was introduced to Nicki Minaj I was 7 or 8. My cousin was listening to “Your love” that came out 2010. Then the first time I heard , “I lied” I was in the car with my auntie and she put the volume to the max and we started getting in our feelings. The lyrics that stuck to me the most were, “ You said you thought you was ready and I said let’s see”. I think these lyrics stuck to me because I can relate to it.

     Nicki Minaj’s, “Your Love “, song is influenced by Annie Lennox, “no more I love you’s”, and her Pink Print album is influenced by Enya, “Sail away”. Nicki Minaj is 33 years old born  december 8th, 1982. Her Pink Print album came out 2014. She is a singer and song writing. She sings R&B and Hip Hop. Her home town is Saint James, Trinidad. Nicki was raised in South Jamaica.

     The theme of the song,”I Lied”, by Nicki Minaj is to not fall in love too fast and with the wrong person because you will regret it and boys ain’t worth your time. The theme is that you will regret dating the wrong person.

      By using rhyme Nicki helps her listeners understand her song more clearly. “You just  a heartbreaker won’t let you break mine cause i be smashing windows and cutting them break lines” from, “I lied”. This line shows that Nicki dont play games she will go crazy on a guy if she gets cheated on.  This also shows a lot about her personality. It also shows that he hurt her really bad.

      Nicki uses metaphor in,”This sh*t wasn’t real it was magic, If it was a record it would have been classic” form , “I lied”.This means their love felt so real. By saying,”It would have been classic,” she means the love was unique and strong. This also shows the theme that you will get hurt if you fall in love with just anyone. This also shows she was really into him.

        There is a lot of ups and downs in this song. She talks a lot about how he broke her heart. Most of the song talks about how he broke her heart. Also she says in other words that his love was unique. I lied is based on her love story with ex boyfriend.

         In conclusion Nicki sings,”I lied”. This song came out with the album,”pink print”, in 2014. Also it is based on a lesson learned. The theme of this song is to not fall in love too quick. Nicki singer and she writes her own songs. She sings hip hop and r&b.
