“Started” is the second single off of Iggy Azalea’s sophomore studio album In My Defense released on May 3rd, 2019. The song was written by her and produced by J. White Did It.

On January 24, 2019 Iggy expressed her desire to put a snippet of another song at the end of the video for her first In My Defense single “Sally Walker”. Something very popular in R&B/Hip-Hop music videos in the early 2000s.

When the video was finally released she revealed that the song in the outro is “Started.”

Borrowing inspiration from Drake’s 2013 single “Started From The Bottom” Iggy is letting people know that she is proud of her struggles that led her to fame. From her humble background in Australia to moving to America when she was 15 to pursue a career in Rap Iggy has every right to brag about her come up and success.

The music video for the song directed by Colin Tilley was released on the same day.
