New Song: Kehlani – ‘Back & Forth’ (featuring Missy Elliott)

Published: Thursday 9th Apr 2026 by Rashad

Easily one of the longest-charting female R&B hits in recent memory, Kehlani‘s smash ‘Folded‘ remains in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 even 42 weeks after first premiering there.

Albeit a good problem to have, Lani is undoubtedly still hoping to shine a spotlight on some of the other offerings found aboard her eponymous, April 24-due new album – a project that’s yet to see any follow-up single reach the heights of ‘Folded.’

To change the tide on that trajectory, the GRAMMY-winning songstress tapped Hip-Hop royal Missy Elliott to assist with the LP’s newest release: ‘Back and Forth.’

“(I ain’t goin’ back and forth tonight, I’m goin’ out) I ain’t goin’ back and forth tonight (Woah) / (I ain’t goin’ back and forth tonight, I’m goin’ out) It’s last call, you’re the last thing on my mind / (I ain’t picking up the phone for none, uh, before the lights c’mon) Get there when I get there, take my time (Woah),” the two wail over The Stereotypes production.

Released Friday (April 10), ‘Back’ awaits inside for a full listen.

    Missy lost her magic with the fat.
    Keh’s like a selfie: 30 tries for 1 hit.
    Every song will compare to Folded.
