Money was released by Cardi B in October 2018 as a standalone single following her debut album Invasion of Privacy. Produced with a sparse trap instrumental, the song became a commercial hit and a staple of her live sets. Short excerpts circulated widely on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube edits, where the opening and hook are used as shorthand for wealth, confidence and success. Its direct lyrics and heavy low end make even a nine second clip easy to identify, keeping it in rotation for memes and flex edits.
