Background

In June 2021, Megan Thee Stallion expressed her interest in doing a collaboration with Dua Lipa, in which Lipa responded also saying she would love to do a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion.[4] 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]

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.[17] 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."[18]

Live performances

On March 15, 2022, during Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia Tour, Lipa brought out Megan Thee Stallion at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado to perform the collaboration. This marks the first time they performed the song live together.[19]
