"Up", the following single, made her the only female rapper to achieve multiple Hot 100 number ones with solo songs, and extended her record as the female rapper with the most Hot 100 number-one singles as her fifth leader.

I could love you with all my heart

And I love you, I just

To use you and abuse you
And I'm gonna live
