Along with "Where is her MTV Video Vanguard at, though?!," the question most often asked concerning Missy Elliott is: "Where's the new music?"
Earlier this month, Elliott hinted at the existence of some new tracks, opening up on Twitter about her "fear" of no one truly getting her style:
For so long I was hesitant to put out music in fear no 1 would get it because people said music has changed & my sound been so different but NOW IM LIKE hey????????♀️ bump it make music that feels good to me????let me Get y’all asses dancing again???????? pic.twitter.com/Q8Mahlrxws

Days later, using the entertaining power of her Animoji, Elliott posted a sneak peek clip of her upcoming single, "Cool Off:"

“2019 Let me get yall a*ses DANCING AGAIN," she captioned the Sunday tweet. Mission accomplished, because issa bop.
Elliott's most recent album was The Cookbook, was released in 2005.
Marinate on that. Two. Thousand. Five. That means we've gone 13 years without a complete Missy work.
But, Missy's back. And we're all happy about it. We also have questions, and luckily, Missy is here for us:
You mean to tell me we gotta wait til 2019 for some new music …NOOOOOO! Why you gotta tease us like this miss that ain’t fair and can you be more specific when in 2019 like January???????????

It's also not clear whether or not this tease will be a track on a new album or if we'll just be getting a single. Missy chose to keep us thirsty for now:
Album ? Or just single ?
