  • "Bossy" is a song by American R&B singer Kelis, featuring American rapper Too Short. Written by Kelis, Shondrae "Bangladesh" Crawford, Too Short, and Sean Garrett, it was released in the United States in May 2006 as the lead single from Kelis' fourth studio album, Kelis Was Here (2006). The song peaked at number 16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, making it the singer's second biggest Hot 100 hit thus far, as well as Too Short's only top 40 hit to date. While "Bossy" entered the top ten in Finland and the top 20 in Australia and New Zealand, it failed to chart or sell noticeably elsewhere. It is believed that the track features a response to 50 Cent's 2005 song "Piggy Bank". In "Bossy", Kelis states "That's right, I brought all the boys to the yard/And that's right, I'm the one tattooed on his arm", in response to 50 Cent rapping, "Kelis said her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard/Then Nas went and tattooed the bitch on his arm" in his song. The lyric "I'm the first girl to scream on a track" refers to her debut single "Caught Out There", in which she "screamed" the chorus. The lyric "I'm back with an 808" refers to the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which was used to create the drum beat. On December 11, 2006, "Bossy" was certified double platinum by the RIAA. The Redsoul 8055y remix was part of the runway soundtrack of the 2006 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The song was featured on the 30 Rock episode "The Aftermath". It was featured on TV-hit The O.C. in the episode The Graduates.
  • Bossy è un brano musicale della cantante R&B statunitense Kelis, pubblicato come primo singolo estratto dall'album Kelis Was Here del 2006.

La canzone ha raggiunto la sedicesima posizione della classifica Billboard Hot 100, diventando il maggior successo di Kelis negli Stati Uniti, dopo Milkshake. Mentre Bossy è riuscita ad entrare nella top 10 in Finlandia e nella top 20 di Australia e Nuova Zelanda, non è riuscita ad ottenere risultati degni di nota in nessuna altra classifica nel mondo.
