"Nice to Meet Ya" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor from her third major-label studio album, Treat Myself (2020), featuring the Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj. Trainor and Minaj wrote it with the songwriter Scott Harris and Raul Cubina and Mark Williams from its production duo, Ojivolta. Epic Records released it as the album's third single on January 31, 2020. Backed by an instrumentation of tingling drums and a hip hop beat, the pop and R&B song has feel-good and characteristically confident lyrics.
Music critics were mixed in their reception of the song. Commercially, "Nice to Meet Ya" charted at number 89 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Trainor's 10th career entry. It also charted in Scotland, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Mathew Cullen directed the music video for "Nice to Meet Ya", which was inspired by Working Girl (1988), and featured Trainor performing dance routines with her female co-workers, and a pink-haired Minaj. Trainor has performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
