Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Cardi B taunting her haters as she boasts about her wealth and success.

    Platinum plaques hang on every wall in my palace
    Clips still push, to anybody speakin' malice
    Fashion icon, couple million for my stylist
    Five number ones, you got five number nones


    The quintet of Hot 100 chart-toppers Cardi is flexing are: "Bodak Yellow," "I Like It," "Girls Like You (Remix)," "WAP," and "Up."
  • Cardi's vocals for "Big Paper" came in 12 hours before Khaled Khaled's release, making it a last-minute addition to the album. The Miami hitmaker hadn't expected Cardi to turn in the record on time and was in the middle of a big jewelry purchase in his backyard when he received the news. He posted a video that shows him leaping into his swimming pool in celebration.
  • Cardi previously worked with Khaled on Jennifer Lopez' 2018 single "Dinero" and the producer's 2019 Father of Asahd track "Wish Wish" with 21 Savage.
  • Khaled co-helmed the song with Tay Keith. The Memphis producer also worked on "Wish Wish"; his other credits include Drake's "Nonstop" and Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode."
