Pop Base(@PopBase):Songwriter Ilya reveals Ariana Grande's ‘God Is A Woman’ was initially considered for Beyoncé and Jay-Z's joint album before landing on ‘Sweetener’: “When we started again with Ari, we were thinking maybe it could be her singing the chorus, and we’d get a rap feature, but then when she heard the song, she was like, ‘No, we're writing this for me.’ I was like, ‘Okay, fine.’ She just wrote all the verses and the pre-chorus and all those crazy harmonies that are in there. She did it all that day.”
