The recent Top 10 Billboard Chart success of "Paper Planes" has pulled M.I.A. out of retirement and re-evaluating her early retirement plan. Read an excerpt from the Entertainment Weekly interview below and get the story behind the hit single here.
When you performed at Bonnaroo this year, you said it was going to be your last ever show. Did you mean it?
Well, it was my last ever show. And it still is. I stopped touring after that and I didn’t want to make music again. I was quite happy to just leave it all behind. I was happy with what I had achieved. Now, with the success of “Paper Planes,” there’s pull for me to make another record. Even my mum believes in me more [laughs]. It’s a nice encouragement. But I was planning my life as a fishing woman on the outskirts of Cambodia. That’s a joke.
