## *Invasion of Privacy* track listing

"**Drip**" is a song by Cardi B featuring hip hop trio Migos from her first studio album, *Invasion of Privacy*. It was released as a promotional single two days before the album dropped on April 4, 2018, experiencing a limited release to Australian radio. It was written by the artists alongside Joshua Cross, with production handled by Cassius Jay and Nonstop Da Hitman.

The second track on the album, "Drip" was also the second time Cardi and Migos had collaborated, after "MotorSport" (2017). The song demonstrates Cardi and Migos rapping about their success, as well as the doubts and hate people have towards them and show them why and how they got to the place they are. The song has been certified platinum by the RIAA.

## Background and release

"Drip" marked the second time Cardi collaborated with Migos, after 2017's "MotorSport", although Cardi had previously collabed with her husband and member Offset several times before. The song was made available for digital download alongside the reveal of the album's full track listing. On April 6, 2018, it was sent to Australian radio.

## Composition

"Drip" is a groove-heavy trap song that runs for 4 minutes and 23 seconds. It features "slinky production and a pulsating trap beat". Described as "a blinking, Atlanta-style track full of hi-hat tics and tinny synth melodies", it "chugs along on looped flutes and Simon-like synth blips". Lyrically, the artists hit back at critics who have attacked them, rapping about their success and how they have achieved it. The song's beat was originally used for an unreleased Young Thug and Future song titled "Upscale" which also featured Quavo.
