Fifth Harmony - Not That Kinda Girl Ft. Missy Elliott (lyrics) (COMPLETE »)
You're looking at me like you see something you've never seenYou're talking to me like you think you're gonna get with meBut you don't know me, and you don't know my nameAnd you're just looking for a little bit of fame
Below, we’ve broken down the lyrics and the meaning behind the song. The Lyrics You're looking at me like you see something
Uh, check it, let's goI'm a boss, I'm a queen, I'm a legend in the makingI don't need a man to tell me what I'm takingI'm a powerhouse, a force to be reckoned withAnd if you can't handle it, then you can't handle this! Song Meaning & Vibe Featuring a legendary guest verse from Missy Elliott
If you’re looking for a track that radiates confidence and old-school funk vibes, look no further than from Fifth Harmony’s 2016 album, 7/27 . Featuring a legendary guest verse from Missy Elliott , this song is an anthem for setting boundaries and demanding respect. "Not That Kinda Girl" is all about female
The track is heavily inspired by 80s synth-pop and Minneapolis funk (think Prince or Vanity 6). The combination of the heavy bassline and Missy Elliott's signature rapid-fire delivery makes it one of the most unique tracks in Fifth Harmony’s discography.
"Not That Kinda Girl" is all about female empowerment and self-worth . The lyrics explicitly tell a suitor that just because they are interested, it doesn't mean the girls are easily impressed or willing to compromise their standards. It’s a "hands off" anthem for anyone who knows their value.
Having Missy Elliott on the track was a "bucket list" moment for the group. Her verse adds that extra layer of "boss energy" that elevates the song from a simple pop track to a fierce statement of independence.
