M.I.A. detailed plans for her long-awaited fifth studio album A.I.M. Thursday and now she’s shared the first single for the project. The British performer dropped “Go Off” Friday along with a striking music video.

Skrillex and M.I.A.’s frequent collaborator Blaqstarr produced the song, which showcases her signature blend of hip-hop, electronic, and world music elements. The M.I.A.-directed music video depicts controlled explosions in the desert.

A.I.M. is M.I.A.’s first album since 2013’s Matangi. In late 2015, she shared “Borders” and its corresponding video, and last month she released “Poc That Still a Ryda.”
