Background and release

After collaborating on " Where Them Girls At", " Turn Me On" and " Hey Mama", "Light My Body Up" marks the fourth time David Guetta and Nicki Minaj have worked together on a song. Released on March 23, 2017, the song carries a theme of fire throughout the piece and includes guest vocals by rapper Lil Wayne, his first time collaborating with Guetta since " I Can Only Imagine". [3]

According to Minaj, earlier versions of the song only had her vocals and did not include her rap verse. The first verse was added later after Guetta played a demo of the song to his daughter Angie who remarked: "Why isn't Nicki rapping on it too?". The music was produced between May 12–15, 2016. [4] Wayne's verse was also added later after Minaj surprised the French DJ with it. [5]

"Light My Body Up" is written in the key of F minor with a tempo of 146 beats per minute. [6]
