Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic (2014), peaked among the top five on several charts worldwide, but received mixed reviews from within the industry. The album eventually topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, making Azalea the first non-American female rapper to reach the top of the chart. The New Classic was preceded by Azalea's debut single "Work" and chart-topping single "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX), which hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande's 2014 single "Problem", which peaked at number two behind "Fancy". With these hits, Azalea became the second musical act (behind The Beatles) act to rank at number one and two simultaneously on the Hot 100 with their debut appearances on the chart. In addition, she achieved three top ten hits simultaneously on the Hot 100 with the aforementioned songs and the album's fifth single, "Black Widow" (featuring Rita Ora), which debuted later that year.
After her debut album, Azalea released a slew of singles to build anticipation for her intended second album, Digital Distortion. However, a series of conflicts with her label, as well as personal conflicts, resulted in the project being cancelled. Consequently, Azalea switched labels, releasing the EP Survive the Summer (2018) under Island Records. Further disagreements led to Azalea becoming an independent artist and creating her own label, Bad Dreams, through a distribution deal with Empire. Her second album, In My Defense, was released in 2019, followed by another EP, Wicked Lips, that same year. Before taking a hiatus from music, Azalea released her third studio album, The End of an Era, in August 2021.
Azalea's accolades include two American Music Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, a People's Choice Award, four Teen Choice Awards and four Grammy Award nominations. Azalea's official YouTube channel has accumulated more than 3.4 billion views, with 15 music videos receiving over 100 million views on Vevo.
Black Widow ft. Rita Ora
Iggy Azalea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me, heartache
I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
We went from nothing to something liking to loving
It was us against the world now we just fucking
It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
By me believing what you say that you never mean
Like It'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You was different from my last but now you got a mirror
But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing
You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, the web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me, heartache
I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
Like a black widow, baby
I'm gonna love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
You'd have never met nobody
That will do you how I do ya
That will bring you to your knees
Praise Jesus hallelujah
Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
Till you feel like you breath for it
Till you do any and everything for it
I want you to fiend for it
Wake up and dream for it
Till it's got you gasping for air
And you leave for it
Til then having kids, can check on your mind
And there's nothing but me on it
Now it's me time believe that
If it's yours when you want it
I wouldn't promise I need that
Till I'm everywhere that you be at
I can't fall back go quick
'Cause this here is fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit
You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, the web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me, heartache
I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
Like a black widow, baby

Line by Line Meaning
I'm gonna love you
I'm going to convince you that I love you
Until you hate me
Until you realize that I don't actually love you
And I'm gonna show you
I'll prove it to you
What's really crazy
That I'm manipulating you
You should've known better
You should've recognized the warning signs
Then to mess with me, heartache
Than to get involved with me and end up heartbroken
I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
I'm going to deceive you, over and over again
Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
And keep lying to you
Like a black widow, baby
Like a spider that kills its mate
This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
This manipulative game always begins the same way
First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
At first we're both interested, but then something goes wrong
We went from nothing to something liking to loving
We went from strangers to lovers
It was us against the world now we just fucking
We were a team, now we're just having sex
It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
I used to have strong feelings for you, now I feel the opposite
Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
Regretting the time and energy I wasted on you
I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
I wanted a serious relationship or nothing at all
By me believing what you say that you never mean
I foolishly believed your empty promises
Like It'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
I thought our love would last forever, but now it's clear that it won't
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this painful reminder of our failed relationship
You was different from my last but now you got a mirror
You seemed different from my ex, but now I see that you're the same
But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
As time goes on, it becomes more and more obvious
Now sing
Now let me tell you what's going to happen next
You used to be thirsty for me
You used to desire and pursue me
But now you wanna be set free
But now you want to break free from me
This is the web, the web that you weave
This is the trap that you've created for yourself
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
So now you can move on from our toxic relationship
I'm gonna love you until it hurts
I'm going to love you so intensely that it will be painful
Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
I'll do whatever it takes to win you over
You'd have never met nobody
You have never met anyone
That will do you how I do ya
Who will love you the way I do
That will bring you to your knees
Who will have such power over you
Praise Jesus hallelujah
Holy shit, you're going to be obsessed with me
Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
I'll make it impossible for you to resist me
Till you feel like you breath for it
You'll be so consumed by desire that you can't breathe
Till you do any and everything for it
You'll do anything to have me
I want you to fiend for it
I want you to become addicted to me
Wake up and dream for it
You'll dream about being with me
Till it's got you gasping for air
You'll be so overwhelmed with desire that you can hardly breathe
And you leave for it
And you'll never be able to escape me
Til then having kids, can check on your mind
Until then, you'll be too busy thinking about me to even consider having children
And there's nothing but me on it
And I'll be the only thing on your mind
Now it's me time believe that
Now it's time for me to take control
If it's yours when you want it
If you want me, I'm yours
I wouldn't promise I need that
I won't make any promises
Till I'm everywhere that you be at
Until I'm always around you
I can't fall back go quick
I can't slow down or back off
'Cause this here is fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit
Because this is an all-consuming, dangerous love, so I'm either all in or nothing at all

LYRICSSSS !!!
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you, what's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
This twisted cat and mouse game, always starts the same
First we're both down to play, then somehow you go astray
We went from nuttin' to somethin', likin' to lovin'
It was us against the world, and now we just fuckin'?
It's like I loved you so much that now I just hate you
Feelin' stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothin' for us, ain't no place in between
Might-might be me believing what you say that you'll never mean
Like it'll last forever, but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last, but now, you've got 'em mirrored
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing...
You used to be, thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me harder (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Black, black widow, baby
I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doin' whatever works
You had never meet nobody, that'll do ya how I do ya
That'll bring ya to your knees, praise Jesus, hallelujah
That'll make ya beg for it, plead for it
'Til you feel like you breathe for it
'Til you'd do any and every thing for it
I want you to fiend for it, wake up and dream for it
'Til it's got you gaspin' for air, and you lean forward
'Til you have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And there's nothing but me on it (on it, on it)
Now it's me time, believe that
If it's yours when you want it, I want it
Promise I need that
'Til I'm everywhere that you be at, I can't fall back or quit
'Cause this here a fatal attraction, so I take it all or I don't want sh-
You used to be, thirsty for me (right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Bla-bla-black, black widow, baby
