UP” marks Cardi B’s first release of the year and serves as the second single from her upcoming album following “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion.
Cardi is taking her time in releasing her album, having already stated that she refuses to succumb to industry pressure to constantly release new material. “If you don’t have a super crazy smash, it’s like ‘oh, you flop, flop flop.’ The song could be like two-times platinum, and it’s still flop, flop, flop.

We told you that.’ That type of sh*t started to get to me, like crush me.”
She added, “I feel like I’m not gonna let that shit get to me to the point that I’m gonna put out a song that I’m not really in love with just ’cause.”
