"Bed" is a song by rapper Nicki Minaj featuring Ariana Grande. It was released on June 14, 2018, as the second official single from Minaj's fourth studio album, Queen. It was released through Young Money and Cash Money Records.

Background

In May 2018, Grande revealed through her Twitter that Minaj called her in the morning and recorded what would be their next musical collaboration.

On June 4, Grande replied to a follower on twitter that there would be more than one collaboration between her and Minaj during 2018. One week later, Minaj announced through her Instagram account the title and the release date of the single on June 11, 2018, and said it will be available with the pre-order of her fourth studio album, Queen.

Music video

The music video for the song was teased on June 14, 2018. On June 19, 2018, a teaser of the music video was uploaded on Minaj's YouTube channel. On July 6, 2018, Minaj revealed that there are two music videos for the song as "there were 2 directors involved". That same day, one of the music videos was uploaded on Minaj's YouTube channel.

Commercial performance

"Bed" debuted at number 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100 after a full week of tracking, with 19,000 downloads sold and 12 million streams. The song became Minaj's 91st entry on the chart, extending her record for most Hot 100 visits among women and tying James Brown for the seventh-best sum overall. It fell 24 positions to number 67 in its second week. In its fourth week, it rose to number 48, and later reached a peak of number 42 after her album Queen was released.

"Bed" also reached the top 20 lists in Australia, Scotland, and the United Kingdom.

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Got a bed with your name on it
With your name on it
Got a kiss with your name on it
With your name on it

[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Thousand dollar sheets
Waitin' for you on some thousand dollar sheets
I got Carter III on repeat
Back shots to the beat of A Milli on you
Got me actin' like you got a milli on you
He say: "I'm the GOAT", yeah, the billy on you
I could make all your dreams come true
When I fall through, then you better come through

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Don't make me wait until the morning

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Got a bed with your name on it
With your name on it
Got a kiss with your name on it
With your name on it
Love me good, love me down
Don't turn me down
Got a bed with your name on it
With your name on it

[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
Strawberry lingerie
Waitin' for you, strawberries, lingerie
You told me you on the way
Messed around, messed around, put it down on you
I'ma do everything I said I'm gon' do
Pretty little body, it look better on you
Might have to blow it like a feather on you
With the force, ooh, yeah, you better come through

[Bridge: Nicki Minaj]
Yo

He get the city live
These n*ggas scared, they doin' fifty in a fifty-five
I'm tryna clap him like somebody told him "Gimme five!"
I'ma be a half an hour, but I told him "Gimme five!"
I'm tryna dance on him
Blow my advance on him
I like him better when he got some sweatpants on him
I like his hang time
He set his head right
I said: "Go all the way down and then head right"
I watch him fuck it up
Look at him luckin' up
I said: "You need some thick skin, baby, suck it up"
He go insane on it
I put my fame on it
Coulda put ZAYN on it
But I put your name on it
