6 WTFs From Missy Elliott’s New Single, “WTF”

You cannot call it a comeback. Geniuses take leaves of absence, sabbaticals, extended naps, but they’re never gone. They’re never over. No one doubted this about Missy Elliott for a second. She’s been around, of course: (Jack Ü’s “Take Ü There,” Janet Jackson’s “BURNITUP!,” a surprise Super Bowl appearance) but patient fans couldn’t help but wonder when her next solo drop would be.

And then,

BOOM.

Missy Misdemeanor Elliott released her first single in 3 three years (featuring happy-ass Pharrell Williams yea yea whatever this is about HER not him) and the world went wild. It’s so good.

The music video is too. Though the song title’s WTF is an acronym for “Where They From,” it wouldn’t feel like a Missy production without an ample dose of what-the-fuck weird. To celebrate, her video’s top 6 WTF moments:

1. Missy Elliott plays the role she was born to as Human Disco Ball, effectively beating out every sequined look in Dior’s Pre-Fall collection and glitterized show-goers during the Fall 15 season in Paris.

2. These jeans at 1:15. First person to find them for me gets a high five.

3. At 1:19, she is the pop-art-world’s answer to Professor Quirrell’s Voldemort-Head-Takeover in Harry Potter.

4. You may be stoked on Missy’s new release but the puppets are super, super bored. (Except for Pharrell who’s smirking. Probably because he’s happy, if you hadn’t heard.)

5. Missy just confirmed it: Hoverboards, aka Swagways, are having the best year ever.

She also just blew Aladdin and these mobile Justin Biebers out of the water.

6. She’s wearing sunglasses that confirm the 2000s are back, similar to a pair of Pradas Leandra Gchatted me about and asked, “Remember when sunglasses looked like this?”

There’s 100% no shot that Missy Misdemeanor Elliott did not borrow them from this llama who stupidly didn’t want them.

Your loss, dude. I think the trend has officially been set.
