Pound the Alarm is a single by Nicki Minaj from her 2012 album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, produced by RedOne, Carl Falk and Rami. Built as a Eurodance club anthem, it became a summer party staple with its chanting hook and carnival brass. Years later the chorus resurfaced in TikTok dance challenges and hype edits, where its explosive drop makes any entrance feel larger than life. Its lasting appeal comes from pure adrenaline, keeping it a go-to pick for creators.
