Iggy Azalea revealed that “Black Widow” would be her next single from The New Classic during an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106 in February 2014. She also revealed that her friend and fellow musician Katy Perry wrote the hook for the track.

This song is purely about female dominance in the relationship.

The official music video was inspired by 70s kung fu films and Tarantino movies, particularly Kill Bill.
