While Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj promoted and teased "Bang Bang" for a number of weeks before the single's release, many speculated that it would become a massive critical failure. Fortunately, everything changed when the single surprisingly came out on top.
While Nicki Minaj remains rightfully in her position as the rapper of the track (delivering a strong, catchy verse), the overlapping vocals between Jessie J and Ariana Grande were honestly very surprising. Jessie J (an artist known for her average soul vocals) was actually the act that really made the song for me, overpowering Ariana Grande (who is known for Mariah Carey-esque, powerhouse vocals). That was the biggest shocker to me, other than the fact that the song itself was actually good.
The entire style of the track is just very unique for this era (as well as being extremely unexpected), making it one of the biggest releases that seems to be both critically and commercially. In a side note, the track is expected to open with a first week upwards of 225,000 copies. It's a perfect ending to the summer season.
