There's exciting news for Bardi Gang!

On Monday (May 27), Cardi B announced that she'll be releasing her new upcoming single, "Press" on Friday (May 31).

The promotional photo that Cardi B used to plug the single on Instagram was inspired by infamous serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was portrayed in the 2003 movie Monster, starring Charlize Theron.

Wuornos, a Michigan native, was a former sex worker, who was sentenced to death after being convicted for the murders of seven men. The murders took place between 1989 and 1990, while Wuornos claimed that she killed the men in self-defense after they raped or attempted to rape her.

Cardi B mentioned in her Instagram post that the official cover art drops on Friday along with the single.

Check out a teaser for "Press" above.
