Click to listen to Timbaland and Missy Elliott's "Take Ur Clothes Off"

How have we made it through so many years without a new Missy and Timbaland song? The first giveaway in the Timbaland Thursdays series (the producer's version of G.O.O.D. Fridays) is also the pair's first track together since 2008's "Shake Your Pom Pom." "Take Ur Clothes Off" sounds like classic Missy-Timbo: All buzzy propulsion (powered by heavy low-end and burbling percussion), bawdy exhortations ("take your clothes off!), and memorable boasts. "I dance like a stripper/Been hot since Billy Dee was drinkin' malt liquor," Missy chirps. Welcome back, guys.

Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
