Janet Jackson dropped the new single “BURNITUP!” Thursday, featuring none other than Missy Elliott.
“Working with Janet is unbelievable,” Elliott, 44, said in a statement, according to E! News. “Although we are great friends and have been for so long, I am still her biggest fan. Sometimes, I still have to pinch myself when I call her and she picks up the phone or texts me because she is still Janet Jackson! The superstar that I would run to the TV to watch her videos and dance moves, so for me I’m honored to be on any Janet record. I’m humbled whenever she asks because she inspires and continues to inspire me, always!”
“It is always great to work with friends and Missy is a dear friend,” Jackson, 49, said in a statement. “It was only natural for the two of us to record a song together. We had a great time and we hope you guys enjoy it.”
The new single will be on her highly anticipated upcoming album, Unbreakable. The album is set to release Oct. 2.
