Song Meaning of Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott, and what it is about


Regarding her musical chemistry with Timbaland, Missy Elliott told Rolling Stone in 2020, "Oh yes, man, we was on some futuristic stuff for sure. "Those records had a hypnotic quality to them." In the late 1990s, Missy and Tim, two young people from Portsmouth, Virginia, took over the airwaves and blew people's minds with their distinctive space-funk sound.


She broke every rule that was in place at the time for female celebrities. Nobody could imitate Missy-Tim's mojo, and her music didn't follow any rules either. The culmination of their protracted partnership is "Get Ur Freak On," a wildly bizarre avant-garde attempt that became a major pop success. "Get Ur Freak On" was an insane challenge to the audience, even by their standards. She once remembered, "I was like, 'Tim, you sure this isn't too left that people won't get it? A hip-hop beat and some Japanese music are what it sounds like.


17th on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song. Internationally, "Get Ur Freak On" was a top-10 smash in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number four. It was also her first solo top-10 hit.
