AIM is the fifth studio album by English rapper and record producer M.I.A.. It was released on 9 September 2016 by Interscope and Polydor Records in the UK.
Prior to its release, the rapper claimed that it would be her final album. M.I.A. worked on the composition and production of the album with a range of collaborators, including Blaqstarr, Diplo and Skrillex. As with M.I.A.'s earlier releases, the album mixes Eastern and Western musical influences. Lyrically, a number of tracks on the album contain themes of borders and refugees.
AIM received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, with some praising certain songs but arguing that the overall album lacked focus. It spent just one week on the album charts in both the UK and US. In the US, the album peaked at number 66 and was her first album not to reach the top 40 on the Billboard 200 since her debut release in 2005, although like her previous three albums AIM topped the magazine's Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
