Back in 2008, M.I.A released Paper Planes. A massive hit, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 -- giving the artist her first top ten single, a Grammy nomination and an Oscar nod. It went Platinum in Canada, the US and the UK and was featured in promoting films like Pineapple Express and Slumdog Millionaire.

Let’s take a look at THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND PAPER PLANES.
