I'm Better

"I'm Better" is a song by American recording artist Missy Elliott, and features accompanying vocals by frequent production partner Lamb.

[1] In a retrospective review of the song, Steven J. Horowitz from Vulture found that with "I'm Better" Elliott "reemerged with what could have been a triumphant single, but it didn’t feel entirely natural to her style.

Flush with sirens and tip-toeing synths, "I’m Better" loses its footing with its trap-inspired meter – more Migos than Missy.

[4] Rolling Stone noted the video "builds on Elliott's future-forward off-kilter aesthetic",[3] also stating that it "nods as much to sci-fi as classic, Hype Williams-era hip-hop videos".

[3] Further praise from Billboard, stating the music video is a "stylized, can’t-look-away clip", and noted the "aquatic sequence is an unexpected trip".
