Overview

"Press" is a song written and performed by American rapper Cardi B, released as a single on May 31, 2019. The single was produced by Slade Da Monsta and Key Wane. It debuted and peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The parental advisory-labeled music video, starring Cardi B as a naked rampage killer facing a trial, marked her directorial debut. Promotion In December 2018, Cardi B posted a video to Instagram of her rapping part of the song. She later said that she was set to release it soon before teasing it, but decided to release "Money" instead. On May 27, 2019, Cardi B tweeted that the "single and official cover art drops this Friday 5/31". She shared the cover art of the single, which features her escorted out of a court room entirely naked by a group of men with paparazzi taking pictures of her. Critical reception "Press" received generally positive reviews from critics, with many noting the evolution of the rapper's attitude towards the media in the lyrics from previous songs such as "Bartier Cardi" and her featured verse on husband Offset's single "Clout"; NME called the song "defiant", while Billboard labelled her as "pressing on" amid "bad press, haters, beefs". Pitchfork praised Cardi being "now fully ready to take aim at any haters" while noting the deviation between "non-stop cut-downs" and "goofier boasts about her money and sexual prowess"; the magazine also stated that the rapper had "sharpened her rapping abilities to deadly effect" in the song.
