When Little Mix teased that there was a ‘big surprise’ in store with their fourth, final and downright amazing DNA single How Ya Doin’?, our imaginations went into overdrive. A video featuring the giraffe from Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards’ safari trip that time, maybe? Free hair dye kits with every purchase? A guest appearance from Mr. Blobby? Well wonder no more, ’cause the girls have now revealed that rap legend Missy Elliott’s gonna be on the track. AGH.
Yup – dust off your shellsuits and prepare to set your freak switch to ‘on’ – as Missy’s gonna perform a ‘guest rap’ on the joint-best single of the year so far (alongside Demi Lovato’s Heart Attack, obvs).
Chatting to The Mirror in a very excitable manner (and probably an Aussie accent), Jesy said “We honestly can’t believe that Missy is on our song! She’s been one of our biggest idols for ever – it’s incredible.
“As soon as we thought there might be a chance she’d appear on the track we did literally everything we could to make sure it happened.” We take this as meaning they all went round to her pad (which we saw on Cribs once – it’s quite impressive) and begged until she said yes. Not that she’d take much persuading.
