“Down Like Your Internet Connection” is a song inspired from arguing with Verizon tech support to get her cable Internet and wireless up and running.
M.I.A. was trying to get her broadband working when she decided mid-crisis that she should ask the support people to help her out with her music. “Ten phone calls later, I have Internet that sticks and a song,” she said.
Rolling Stone reports that the song actually features Filipino Verizon tech support workers singing the hook.
The album — which was made in collaboration with producer Blaqstarr — will be released this summer. If “Down Like Your Internet Connection” is the first single, it will probably hit several weeks earlier. “I Fight the Ones That Fight Me” is another revealed song, but the album itself still doesn’t have a name.
