WATCH: Missy Elliott’s MTV VMAs Video Vanguard Performance

If you missed last night’s festivities, MTV’s VMAs returned to TV with all of the stops that you’d expect. The biggest standout of the night had to be a celebration of Virginia’s Missy Elliott, both by artist tribute and by her own rousing performance. You can check out how that all went down below…head to MTV’s official VMAs page for more.

By the way: if you haven’t checked it out already, Missy’s latest release Iconology and a visual for “Throw It Back” are below as well.

Little Mix (@LittleMixOffic) Feat. Missy Elliott (@MissyElliott) – How Ya Doin’?

The above track, which was originally featured on Little Mix’s album DNA (and represents the project’s 4th single) has now received an American boost from none other than Virginia’s Missy Elliott for the single version. Check it out above along with the lyrics below.

Lyrics:
Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

Ain’t got no time for what you think can be described as love
How could you hold on me, you’re missing me, I’ve had enough
It’s been so long since you have treated me like I deserved
So long, baby I’m gone, you can leave a message for me after the tone

You called, I missed it
You called, I missed it,
You called, and I missed it,
Never get back in, tired of listenin’

Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

I’m through will wish the things with you and me could be so good
Time to wake up or no make ups got make me fool
Too much history now it comes down to what things
So alone, baby I’m gone, you can leave a message for me after the tone

You called, I missed it
You called, I missed it,
You called, and I missed it,
Never get back in, tired of listenin’

Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

Ah, Ah, Ah,
Number
Ah, Ah, Ah,
Number

You called, I missed it
You called, I missed it,
You called, and I missed it,
Never get back in, tired of listenin’

Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

Hey, how ya doin’? Sorry you can’t get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you

(Never get back, never gonna get back)
Ah, Ah, Ah,
(Never get back, never gonna get back)
Number
(Never get back, never gonna get back)
Ah, Ah, Ah,
(Never get back, never gonna get back)
Number

Never get back to you
