Background, release and lyrics

In June 2021, Megan Thee Stallion expressed her admiration for Dua Lipa and her interest in doing a collaboration, referring to a viral mashup of her song "Fkn Around" (2020) with Lipa's 2020 hit "Levitating".[3][4] Lipa responded on Instagram saying she would love to do a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion.[3] Megan Thee Stallion and Lipa began teasing the collaboration in February 2022 after the latter artist addressed the former as "thee sweetest pie" when sending her a pie for her birthday.[5] That same month, Megan Thee Stallion teased that her next single would be with someone her fans might have guessed before and it was a song unexpected for her and "different".[6][7]

On March 6, 2022, Megan Thee Stallion and Lipa formally announced their collaboration.[8][9][10][11] The former released a promotional image of the two artists' faces iced onto cakes while the latter shared a 5-second snippet of the track accompanied by a video of a text conversation between the two in which they shared images of them together.[12][13][14] They revealed the cover art and title as "Sweetest Pie" the following day.[15] The track was released on March 11, 2022.[16] The remixes EP by David Guetta was released on April 22.[17]

Music video

The music video for "Sweetest Pie" accompanied the song's release and was directed by Dave Meyers, with a concept created by Megan Thee Stallion.[22] The music video is inspired by "Hansel and Gretel" by "welcoming a duo of unsuspecting men into their lair — ultimately luring them to their deaths."[23]
