Anxiety Lyrics – Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is charging toward ONIKA, her sixth studio album locked in for March 27, 2026, on Republic Records, and Anxiety feels like the exhale she’s been holding—those pent-up frustrations spilling out in a track that turns personal storms into shared anthems.

She first let it breathe on Instagram Live back in August 2024, dropping the preview that had fans scrambling for every word, and later confirmed on X it’d land here after scrapping the Pink Friday 2 deluxe plans. The chorus hit her during her 2020 pregnancy, a quiet moment captured raw, then Big Juice pulled up the file in 2023 for her to lace in those verses—three years of life layered on, turning it into trap-pop with a razor edge.

It’s got that mid-tempo pulse, hazy keys under her switch-up flows, blending melodic hooks with punchy bars that nod to her dancehall roots but hit harder, like therapy set to a beat. At its core, it’s all about the grind of mental weight: hating the fake smiles and backhanded jabs, wrestling sobriety in a world that doesn’t get you, missing icons like Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke while owning your assassin energy. No features, just Nicki solo, directing the chaos into something fierce and freeing.

ONIKA’s building as her full reclaim, a 16-plus track dive into unmasked Onika—think bold returns to Queens storytelling, fresh collabs teased on her feeds, and a vibe that’s less polished pop, more street-diary real. It picks up from Pink Friday 2’s party anthems but flips to deeper cuts, with “Anxiety” slotting early to set that introspective tone before the features kick in. Her X posts from last month had Barbz dissecting timestamps, and while the full tracklist’s still under wraps, follow her on Spotify for pre-save alerts and rollout drops as they hit. Lyrics are already live on Genius for those deep dives, pulling everyone into the wait.

Nicki’s closing out 2025 on her terms, fresh off that Pink Friday 2 Tour wrap and surprise remixes that kept the momentum rolling. At 43, she’s not just dropping bars—she’s evolving the blueprint, trading some early fire for wisdom that stings sweeter, proving the Queen’s anxiety fuels her sharpest crowns.
