About This Track

Monáe told Artist Direct that she wanted this “to be an empowerment song. I wanted people to find their inner confidence and to feel more self-empowered in understanding that they have to stay more balanced in life.”

I hate when Big Boi says that whole NASDAQ line. It's so cheesy and ruins the feel of the whole song.

No Janelle, I do not mind at all if you play the ukulele just like a little lady. [2]

What is the extent of the connection (if any) between this song, Electric Light Orchestra's Tightrope (A New World Record, 1976) and Rip Rig + Panic's Do the Tightrope (Attitude, 1983)?
