Iggy Azalea revealed that “Black Widow” would be her next single from The New Classic during an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106 in February 2014. She also revealed that her friend and fellow musician Katy Perry wrote the hook for the track.
This song is purely about female domina...
[Chorus: Rita Ora]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Gonna love ya like a black widow, baby
[Verse 1: Iggy Azalea]
This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
First we're both down to play, then somehow you go astray
We went from nothin' to something, liking to lovin'
It was us against the world, and now we just fucking?
It's like I loved you so much, and now I just hate you
Feelin' stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothin' for us, ain't no place in between
Might, might be me believin' what you say that you'll never mean
Like it'll last forever, but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be stuck singin' this song
You were different from my last, but now you got 'em mirrored
And as it all plays out, I see it couldn't be clearer, now sing
[Pre-Chorus: Rita Ora & Iggy Azalea]
You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
[Chorus: Rita Ora & Iggy Azalea]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what, show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me harder (It's all over with now)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Gonna love ya like a black widow, baby
[Post-Chorus: Rita Ora]
Black, black widow, baby
[Verse 2: Iggy Azalea]
I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you, I'm doin' whatever works
You ain't ever met nobody that will do ya how I do ya
That'll bring you to your knees, praise Jesus, hallelujah
I'ma make you beg for it, plead for it
'Til you feel like you breathe for it
'Til you'll do any and everything for it
I want you to fiend for it, wake up and dream for it
'Til it's got you gaspin' for air and you lean forward
'Til they have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And it's nothin' but me, on it (On it, on it)
Now it's me time, believe that
If it's yours and you want it, I want it, promise I need that
'Til I'm everywhere that you be at, I can't fall back or quit
'Cause this here is fatal attraction, so I take it all or I don't want shhh
[Pre-Chorus: Rita Ora & Iggy Azalea]
You used to be thirsty for me (Right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
[Chorus: Rita Ora & Iggy Azalea]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what, show 'em what?)
What's really crazy (Oh)
You should've known better
Than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Gonna love ya like a black widow, baby
[Post-Chorus: Rita Ora]
Bla-bla-bla-black widow, baby

Iggy explained the history behind the song in an interview with BUILD Series:
Well, [Katy Perry] wrote the song–the chorus with six other people and it was originally intended for her album. But she had “Dark Horse” which was similar to “Black Widow” and so she ended up picking “Dark Horse” for her...
Yes. “Black Widow” was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA on January 20, 2017.
