Triple Threat (Missy Elliott song)

"Triple Threat" is a song by American rapper, producer, singer-songwriter Missy Elliott featuring a guest appearance by childhood friend and longtime collaborator Timbaland.

Originally, a snippet of the song premiered in March 2012 during Timbaland's appearance on SXSW.

[1] This song, along with the accompanying "9th Inning," were both released as promotional singles on September 18, 2012.

[2] In a retrospective review of the song, Steven J. Horowitz from Vulture wrote: "Sweeping strings introduce "Triple Threat," the other A-side to 2012's "9th Inning."

Elliott isn't heard until a minute into the track, and aside from her palpable verses, Timbaland holds court for the majority, circling the hook, “Missy and I going up, triple leader in our cup".
