"I'm Better"
Song

"I'm Better" is a song by American recording artist Missy Elliott. Featuring accompanying vocals by frequent production partner Lamb, the song masters as another single lifted from Elliott's seventh studio album.[1]

Remix

An official remix of "I'm Better" was released in May 2017. The remix featured Eve, Lil' Kim, and Trina.[2].

Music video

The video was co-directed by Elliott and Dave Meyers.[3] Elliot noted that she had the video in mind upon listening to the track.[4] The video took a month to rehearse owing to Elliott's wish to make it "look like art instead of just a video"[4] and for the choreography to be "challenging".[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]
