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.

Iggy Azalea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spend it, spend it, spend it
Ayy, if I want it, I'ma get it
Get it, get it, get it
Get it, get it, get it
This money mine, so I'ma spend it
Run it back, run it back, run it back
Ayy, if I want it, I'ma get it
Run it back, run it back, run it back
Run it back, run it back, run it back
This money mine, so I'ma spend it
I just bought a Bentley and, no, it ain't rented
People tryna see who in it, but the windows tinted
Yep, I'm on E, that don't mean empty, that shit mean expensive
And when I hit the scene, I kill it, but ain't no forensics
I bought a wedding ring
That's 'cause I'm married to the game (uh)
I can't complain (uh)
I'm gettin' money, fuck the fame (uh)
I'm in my bag
Don't want your man, he super lame (uh)
I don't catch feelings
I'm catching flights, can't miss my plane (uh)
You know I'm the flyest, I fly private, not United (nah)
If I want it, I'ma buy it
I got drivers, what's a license? (skrrt, skrrt)
Far from broke and I'm so dope
I hope that I don't get indicted (ugh)
The reason I look the nicest is 'cause I don't look at prices
All I do is
Spend it, spend it, spend it
Spend it, spend it, spend it
Ayy, if I want it, I'ma get it
Get it, get it, get it
Get it, get it, get it
This money mine, so I'ma spend it
Run it back, run it back, run it back
Run it back, run it back, run it back
Ayy, if I want it, I'ma get it
Run it back, run it back, run it back
Run it back, run it back, run it back
This money mine, so I'ma spend it

When I was 22, I was runnin' it back like Emmitt Smith (ugh)
Yeah I been broke before, but I ain't been back since (nah)
I used to be on my ass, but that's past tense (yeah)
Now I'm so far up, I got jetlag, bitch (boom)
If you ain't getting cash sis, huh, you are not a bad bitch
Spend it, spend it, spend it

This money mine, so I'ma spend it
