Songfacts®:

  • "I'm The Best" is the opening track from Nicki Minaj's debut album, Pink Friday. She explained the song's meaning on her website: "'I'm the Best' is the intro to my album. It chronicles my journey from underground rapper to borderline mainstream artist. It speaks about the doubters in my life and it speaks about overcoming every challenge I was ever faced with. It's a toast to the girls who've gone hard. Who've been told they'd never make it. It's also the only song where I speak about my family and childhood. Though hard to speak about at times, it's necessary for my healing process."
