Missy Elliott is back, with a surprising new single "I'm Better."

The Lamb-assisted track arrived with only a few minutes notice late Thursday night. An accompanying video followed shortly afterward. 

As we've previously reported, Elliott has been in and out of the studio with the likes of Pharrell and Bruno Mars for much of the past couple of years, working on the followup to her last full-length The Cookbook, which was released 12 years ago.

See the video for "I'm Better" and see a preview of her upcoming documentary below.
