It's a song that Lizzo has been teasing for weeks now. Back in February, Lizzo appeared on Travis Mills Apple Music’s Beats 1 show and revealed that when she heard "Tempo" she knew that she wanted Missy for the song. She said:

 I was like, I hope she blesses me with a verse. Like, you never know, you send it to your idols, you never know if they gonna send it back.
