Kanye West last weekend debuted a new song called "Perfect Bitch" about girlfriend Kim Kardashian, Billboard reports. The tune was among a handful of unreleased tracks the rapper played during a listening party at PH-D Rooftop Lounge early Saturday morning, and West soon put to rest any questions about his source of inspiration.

"I wrote the song Perfect Bitch about Kim," Yeezy wrote in a tweet that has since been deleted. 

The track features a sample of German composer Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, which also loops through a chorus that supposedly contains the line "my perfect bitch." The song also refers to West's ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose, the New York Daily News reports.

There's no word whether "Perfect Bitch" will appear on any of West's upcoming projects, like the long-awaited G.O.O.D. Music compilation, Cruel Summer, which is due September 4th.

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette | 1973

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
