M.I.A. has shared a new song, “Boom ADD.” It’s an extended version of “Boom Skit,” which appeared on 2013′s Matangi. You can listen to it above.

The song opens up with a message from a lawyer explaining the NFL’s lawsuit against M.I.A., which stemmed from her performance at the 2012 Super Bowl, where she flipped the bird during her appearance on stage with Madonna. “They’re suing you for damaging their fantastic reputation by flipping the bird,” the lawyer says, before explaining the NFL’s financial demands. In 2014, M.I.A. and the NFL reached a settlement over the lawsuit.
