Let It Bump! 10 Songs You Didn’t Know Missy Elliott Wrote Or Produced

Free Yourself- Fantasia

This is another grand slam to add to Missy’s arsenal. She collaborated on Fantasia’s debut album, fresh off of her American Idol win. And wrote the title track. I had no idea but I should have picked up on the clues. If you listen, you can hear Missy clearly singing background. And on some versions of the song, Missy is given a feature credit. Missy also wrote and sang on the song “Selfish (I Want You to Myself)” with Jazmine Sullivan. When it was released in 2005, “Free Yourself” peaked at 41 on the Billboard top 100 and was number 3 on the R&B charts. Two years later, it received even more airplay on radio stations across the country, charting at 29 on the Billboard R&B Hip Hop Singles. Today, “Free Yourself” is a fan favorite at Fantasia’s concerts and she does extended versions of one of her better known songs.
