Lizzo And Missy Elliott Have Just Dropped Their New Song ‘Tempo’ And It’s Fire

We've been waiting for this one.

Coming at us with the hottest collab of 2019, Lizzo and Missy Elliott are encouraging is to "f*ckit up to the tempo" in this track.

Bursting in with an electric sound, the guitar isn’t the only thing cooking up fire in this song. The duo are riding a beat that's fierce and carved perfectly for them. Not only that, the lyrics are an ode to all plus size women out there who don’t feel seen or recognised. These girls are breaking boundaries in music, and we’re here for it.

Check out the song below:

The rappers' verses include lyrics such as “thick thighs save lives” and “thick girls get low”, which are hugely important in garnering appreciation for and attention to plus size women who feel excluded from music and the music industry.

Lizzo has been on fire recently, performing at our MTV Push live event at Tape London, gracing the cover of Playboy, and announcing her attendance at this year's Glastonbury... she’s on the top of her game. Now releasing a single with an idol of hers, she’s truly peaking, and we’re so here for it.

Lizzo took to Twitter to gush about the new song ‘Tempo’ with her idol and now friend Missy Elliott:

Missy Elliott also took to Twitter to quote a fan who was seriously feeling the song, honestly, we relate.

We’re going to be bopping to this song on repeat for the foreseeable future, FYI.
