Background and release


In June 2014, at a screening of his "No Mediocre" music video, T.I. revealed that his "New National Anthem" song, which featured a reference hook from Victoria Monet, is slated to feature American pop singer Lady Gaga, adding he was finalizing the process for getting Gaga on the song.[1] T.I. previously worked with Gaga on "Jewels n' Drugs", from her 2013 album Artpop. However, due to her being busy recording a duet album with Tony Bennett, Gaga was not available to record with T.I.: "Unfortunately she was really busy with her current project", T.I. told Dazed.[2][3]

On August 20, 2014, one day after speaking out on issues in the U.S. in his online treatise about Ferguson, Missouri, in the wake of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, T.I. released a new song titled "New National Anthem." The song features vocals from U.S. pop singer Skylar Grey, who has written and performed on several hit singles, including Where'd You Go", "Coming Home", "I Need a Doctor" and more. The song includes socially conscious lyrics centered on racism and injustice.[4][5] On September 23, 2014, Paperwork was made available for pre-order with "New National Anthem" as the "instant gratification track". Also on September 23, the official audio for "New National Anthem" was released via T.I.'s official VEVO account.[6] On October 20, 2014, T.I. released the official lyric video.[7]
