The first single from Missy's fifth album This Is Not A Test. The song samples "Magic Mountain" by War and "Potholes In My Lawn" by De La Soul". The video featured the tracks "Babygirl (Intro)" and "Wake Up" which appeared on her album. It peaked at #27 on the Hot 100 and #45 on CHR Pop. Ouch!!
After her success with "Work It" and "Gossip Folks", I was hoping this would go Top 10 on the Hot 100 and R&B. I was disappointed that it flopped before her album came out. It's okay but it's not her best. She had better tracks on the album.

When they started River Dancing in the video I lost it. Not one of my favorites from her on the album. Wake Up took that crown.

I really don't remember this song too much when it was out. I do however enjoy this, thanks to Mean Girls.

This always came across as a rehash of Work It, but I still like it. I'm Really Hot was my favorite single from that album though.

I like it, but I much prefer Gossip Folks over this.

Not one of her greatest moments. I did like the video though.

They definitely should of led off with Wake Up but I love this as well
It also lives on being used in one of the most iconic scenes of Mean Girls lol

I love the heavy bass sound in the background. It's both hot for the clubs and fits the horror movie vibe from some of the scenes in the video.
It's still a shame how much this flopped coming off of Under Construction, I always jam to it when it comes on.

Has grown on me since then. Mean Girls definitely made it iconic.

It was definitely a misfire at the time and the album felt rushed/messy as well. Time has been kind to both of them though, I appreciate them way more than I did on release.

I liked the verses on this and the production was pretty hot for a a bit, but kind of got a bit redundant. I think the chorus was lacking a little to.
I kind of passed on it during that time, but remember being into “I’m Really Hot”.
