Minaj and Chauncey Hollis
wrote "Come on a Cone" and Hollis
produced it. Despite not discussing a particular musical style that the pair wanted to employ beforehand, Hollis had made both "Come on a Cone" and "
I Am Your Leader" to suit the album's "bipolar" sound, and sent them in as the first two songs: "I kind of did these records [and] just blindly sent her some beats. It was out of the first batch of beats that I sent." Initially, Minaj rejected the song because it was conceived with a
space-age sound, but later Hollis explained that she had suggested changing the
tempo, "The tempo was a bit slower so she was like, 'Can you speed this up?' I sped it up, and she hit me back like, 'Yo, this is crazy, I'm writing to it,' and [she] just kept having me send beats." Although Hollis was not present during the
recording of "Come on a Cone", he was impressed with the final product, saying, "I just went in blindly, I just sent beats, which is like the stars aligning. She picked the right joints and blacked out on them." The song was recorded at Conway Studios in
Los Angeles,
California and Jungle City Studios in
New York City,
New York by Ariel Chobaz, who received assistance from Jon Sher, who also assisted Chobaz in
mixing "Come on a Cone" at Conway Studios. ==Composition==
