When Missy Elliott landed on Janet Jackson‘s “Burnitup!,” it officially marked the return of Misdemeanor after she performed during Katy Perry’s set at the 2015 Super Bowl.

Originally a head-throbbing, ass-shaking ditty, Lakim remixed “Burnitup!” into a sensual, uptempo R ‘n’ B jam. The Soulection producer dropped Missy’s verse that appeared at the beginning of the song and used her appearance in the middle in hype formation. As Elliott chants “the that jam, now do your thang” in bits and pieces of the remix, Janet Jackson’s intimate verses play out over fluttering synthesizers and groovy, uptempo drums.
