“In between penning Hot 100-topping hits for Ariana Grande (“Positions) and tracks for Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning Renaissance LP (“Cozy”), New Jersey multi-hyphenate Nija still finds time to write some bangers for herself.” – Billboard
“Now independent and carving her own path, ‘Unruly’ signals the start of an exciting new chapter in her career—one that brings her back to her roots while pushing boundaries in her sound.” – BET

The Song:
Earning awards and nominations for her chart-topping behind-the-scenes work, Nija, Jersey’s finest, is ready to assume the spotlight for herself. Today, the Union, NJ-born multi-hyphenate shares “32nd Floor,” a sultry new single. Written by Nija and produced by Mike Hector (Doja Cat, Kendrick Lamar) and eliasodt, the song recounts a romantic night in Las Vegas, as Nija and her bae escape from a watchful public by putting a privacy note on their door of her penthouse suite: “When we in the hotel lobby, all of them people ‘round me/Keep calm, but as soon as we go up, boy you know you got me/Keep it on the 32nd Floor,” she sings.
“32nd Floor” is a worthy follow-up to the Fall 2024 single “Unruly,” a confident, bass-heavy single that was the first taste of Nija’s new direction. The single earned praise from Billboard, Rated R&B, and BET, who said, “Now independent and carving her own path, ‘Unruly’ signals the start of an exciting new chapter in her career—one that brings her back to her roots while pushing boundaries in her sound.” Nija returned to her Jersey hometown for a special “From The Block” performance of “Unruly.” Both “32nd Floor” and “Unruly” will appear on Nija’s next project, the official follow-up to her 2022 debut album, Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You.
Writing smashes since her teenaged years, Nija has established herself as one of the most consistent hitmakers of her generation. She first garnered notice in 2017, when one of her songs earned a placement on EVERYTHING IS LOVE, by Jay-Z and Beyoncé as The Carters. Nija continued to work closely with Beyoncé in 2019, appearing on Bey’s The Lion King: The Gift album, writing on “Water” and appearing on “My Power.” Nija was instrumental in the career of Summer Walker, writing her breakout hit “Come Thru” ft. Usher, and scored her first number one hit in 2020 with “Rain On Me,” performed by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, and repeated the feat later that year with Ariana Grande’s “Positions.” It would be easier to list A-Listers with whom she hasn’t worked, as her list of collaborators includes Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage, Young Thug, WizKid, Kehlani, Maroon 5, H.E.R., Lil Durk, Calvin Harris, and many more. The 26-year-old talent built a huge audience on TIkTok, where she shares the secrets of songwriting with her 467k followers.
Now independent and ready to make her own wave, Nija aims to start a new chapter of her career at the place where it all started. Stay tuned for more from Jersey’s Finest.
