On various dates in July 2014, each of the artists uploaded snippets of the song on each of their Instagram profiles: Jessie J on 9 July, Minaj on 23 July, and Grande on 4 July. Jessie later said that "It was like a real females, coming together, empowering, supportive, and then Nicki jumping on it was like the icing on the cake." However, in interviews, Jessie J stated she recorded it first and that Martin wanted Grande on it too, so it is unclear if Jessie bent the truth or was not told by executives that Grande was first to record. Grande was impressed, surprised by Jessie J and Minaj also being on the song, and agreed to remain on the song. Goldstein then sent it to CEO Monte Lipman, who insisted that Grande listen to it. Following her recording, Republic Records sent it to Minaj to record her verse. Republic Records EVP Wendy Goldstein then sent it to EVP Rob Stevenson who got a demo of the song played to Jessie J, which she decided to record. The song was originally offered to and recorded by Grande, who didn't like the result.
