[Intro: Meghan Trainor & Nicki Minaj]
Nice to meet ya (Mm, ooh)
Nice to meet ya (Ooh)
Nice to meet ya (Meghan Trainor)
Nice to meet ya (Let's go)
[Verse 1: Meghan Trainor]
I used my makeup to hide (Hide)
Tellin' you there ain't nothin' I haven't tried (Tried)
Changed my hair, but I couldn't change up my mind (My-my-my mind)
You know I've been tryna work it (Yeah, yeah)
You know ain't nobody perfect (Yeah, yeah)
Go ahead, go talk about me (Me)
You don't know the half of the shit that I've seen (I've seen)
Go ahead and tell them whatever you heard (What you heard)
I look different on the surface (Yeah, yeah)
You know ain't nobody perfect (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be
I don't know you, but
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be
I don't know you, but I'm just what I wanna be
[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
[Verse 2: Meghan Trainor]
I used to care way too much (Much)
Filtered myself, I thought I wasn't enough (Enough)
Now I'm givin' myself nothin' but love (But l-l-love)
'Cause I know that I am worth it (Yeah, yeah)
I know ain't nobody perfect (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be
I don't know you, but
I am blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be (What I wanna be)
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be (Yeah)
I don't know you, but I'm just what I wanna be
[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor & Nicki Minaj]
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya
Nice to meet ya, rrrr
[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj]
Who you gon' call when you ain't got the, uh?
Me and Meghan run up in the spot like, uh
I pop off 'cause I am the reigning champ
Please no comparisons 'cause you know they can't
Had to cut the grass, there was snakes in the camp
They know I'm the billy, I be laughin'
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
One minute, I'm nice, the next, a monster
My guest house alone cost like three tickets
And that Rolls truck and that paint job real wicked
Used to dumb, dumb myself down for these chickens
Now when dumb-dumb talk, I smile, it be crickets
Boom, I turn every head when I walk in the room
Pretty in real life, hit my pics with the zoom
A ten when they rate her like tomb
Elevator to the penthouse, we ain't stoppin' anytime soon
[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Oh, yeah
Blessed by the heavens, someone's got a hold on me
Sweet, but I get rough, just what I wanna be (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
What I wanna be, just what I wanna be (Oh)
I don't know you, but I'm just what I wanna be
[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor, Both & Nicki Minaj]
Nice to meet ya (Ah, ah, ah)
Nice to meet ya (Oh, mm)
Nice to meet ya (Oh, ooh)
Nice to meet ya

On the Billboard News‘ YouTube channel, Meghan stated about the collaboration:
Never saw it coming, that’s like my top list of like, I don’t know if I’ll ever work with like Bruno Mars and Rihanna and Nicki Minaj….it’s my favorite Nicki verse ever, she’s a monster in it.
On how Meghan Trainor knew it would become a single:
I knew that this was going to be a single, ‘cause I brought it into the label as a rough demo, which you don’t do. That’s rule number one. You don’t do that. And I did it, and was like, “Just hear past this demo.” And all of Epic Records was like...
I’ve been writing my album, ‘Treat Myself,’ for like three years now and I kept writing like my favorite, the next single, the biggest song every session. Every song I have was like, we got to beat the last one. I’ve done enough self love empowering songs, which is like my thing. This is what I do....
For so long, people in the industry have given me their opinions and have told me what I’m supposed to write like and what I’m supposed to sound like. And I’ve even had songs like my last single, “Wave,” where people in the industry would be like, “It’s just so different from Meghan Trainor. We can’...
I love collaborating with other artists and it gives me an excuse to have my dreams come true. So every single song, my mom and my family and I were, “Oh my God, you know who’d be crazy on this track? Sam Smith,” or, we’ll have our biggest dreams and we’re, “This one would be so cool if we had Nicki...
