The songs writers were all sued by the Chicago musician Clive Tanaka, who claimed that they stole his 2010 song ‘Neu Chicago’ to create ‘Starships,’ the case was dismissed, but it is worth taking a listen to ‘Neu Chicago,’ to see what you think.
Nicki Minaj has explained the songs meaning,’Starships are meant to fly, is a line about reaching one’s full potential in life. That’s what I feel, just go for it. Stop limiting yourself, and that’s a great feeling. It’s a great feeling to not box yourself into anyone’s limitations, or ideas, or judgements. That’s what it means to me.’
‘Starships were meant to fly, hand’s up and touch the sky.’
