"Airplanes"
Song

"Airplanes" is the second official and third overall single from B.o.B's debut studio album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray. The track features Hayley Williams[3] and was produced by Alex Da Kid with DJ Frank E[4] receiving a co-production credit on the song. The music and chorus were written by Kinetics & One Love.[5] The song was released to urban radio on April 27, 2010.[6] The song reached number one in New Zealand, and also in the United Kingdom (from downloads alone of 75,892 (in one week) as well as the top three in Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland and the United States.

Song information

Williams' appearance in the song was explained by herself and B.o.B in different interviews to MTV. Williams said Paramore was on tour when she was given the song and she "liked the part too much" and accepted to appear on it.[7] B.o.B said he has "always been a Hayley fan" and he did not expect a collaboration between them too soon. The duo did not get in the studio together to record the song[8] and had never even met each other in person, according to Williams.[9] B.o.B and Williams first met during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, when they performed "Airplanes" live for the first time together.[10]

Part II

"Airplanes, Part II" is the continuation of the song and has two new verses by B.o.B. The song also features Eminem as well as Hayley Williams.[11] The song was produced by Alex Da Kid with additional production added by Eminem. Alex da Kid said that the beat for "Airplanes Part II" was the original beat for the song.[12] In the song, Eminem and B.o.B wonder what would happen if they had not pursued musical careers. B.o.B posted the song on his official Twitter account, claiming he wanted the song to leak from him since the other songs of his album were leaking.[13] When asked how he got to collaborate with Eminem, B.o.B stated:

"Paul Rosenberg played him the Cloud 9 mixtape and it kind of gave him an idea of what my music [sounds like]. Eventually he started playing Eminem more of my stuff and was keeping him updated on my progress and eventually he wanted to get in the studio with me, so that was a gift."[14]

B.o.B, Eminem, and Keyshia Cole (filling in for Hayley Williams) performed the song at the 2010 BET Awards on June 27, 2010 in a medley with Eminem's "Not Afraid".[15]

Music video

A music video has already been shot with Williams.[9] B.o.B shot his scenes for the video in April, but Williams was only able to shoot her parts after the end of Paramore's spring tour, so they were never in the same room during filming.[16] The music video, directed by Hiro Murai,[16] premiered on iTunes on Tuesday June 15, 2010. The video features several frames of B.o.B rapping his verses in a party setting, on stage, and room filled with lights and occasional song lyrics while Hayley Williams sings the hook in a light filled room and walking through photographs.
