"Anaconda" is a song by Trinidadian-born American rapper Nicki Minaj, from her third studio album, The Pinkprint (2014). It was released on August 04, 2014 by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Republic Records as the second single from the album[2]. The song was produced by Polow da Don, AnonXmous, and Da Internz. The song heavily samples "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot[3].

"Anaconda" peaked at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Minaj's highest charting single in the U.S. to date; the song went on to spend eight consecutive weeks in the top ten of the Hot 100 chart[4]. The song also peaked within the top ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the U.K. At the 2015 Grammy Awards, "Anaconda" was nominated for Best Rap Song.

In Sing, a trio of female bunnies sang "Anaconda" during their audition for Buster Moon's singing competition. A snippet of the song was included as part of the "Auditions" track for the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
