Groundwork and production [edit]

When I wrote it I'd just gotten in to New York after waiting a long time and that's why I wrote information technology, just to have a dig. It'due south about people driving cabs all twenty-four hour period and living in a southward---ty [sic] flat and appearing really threatening to society. Just non being so. Because, by the time you've finished working a twenty-hour shift, you're so tired you [just] want to go home to the family. I don't call up immigrants are that threatening to society at all. They're only happy they've survived some war somewhere.

The vocal's lyric "No one on the corner has swagger similar us" was sampled in "Swagga Like U.s.a.", a song recorded by American rappers T.I., Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne, and produced by West, taken from T.I.'southward 2008 studio album Paper Trail.[165] [166] Rolling Stone complimented delivery of the 4 rappers, but felt that the sampling of "Paper Planes" undermined One thousand.I.A.'southward creativity.[167] 50 Cent, State Property members Young Chris and Pike, and Jim Jones released their respective unofficial remixes of the song.[165] Thousand.I.A. was grateful for the vocal's reception amid American hip hop artists, saying: "Information technology's absurd when you bring all these rappers and artists like the Disharmonism together. It'south cool that they back up it ... It's great, especially coming from London".[165]

"Paper Planes" was used in the theatrical trailer for the 2008 stoner comedy Pineapple Express, directed by David Gordon Dark-green, and starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.[168] This catapulted the vocal to mainstream success in the United states.[169] The Los Angeles Times described its incorporation in the trailer as "the most impressive use of M.I.A.'southward 'Paper Planes' always".[170] "Paper Planes" and the DFA remix appear on the soundtrack to Danny Boyle's drama Slumdog Millionaire, released in 2008 after Pineapple Limited.[171] Boyle admired M.I.A. and the vocal before the Pineapple Limited trailer, and hailed "Paper Planes" as one of the crucial songs in conveying the movie's content.[172] Both Pineapple Express and Slumdog Millionaire proved popular at the box office and buoyed the single's mainstream success.[105] [158] The video game Far Cry 3 (2012) begins with "Paper Planes" used in the opening cinematic sequence.[173] The song was featured on the season ii premiere of the television serial, The Last Homo on Globe.[174] Black Dresses' 2017 debut single is a vii-infinitesimal long cover of "Paper Planes" on a 3-track EP also featuring Laura Les and 99jakes.
