"'Bossy'" is an R&B/hip hop song written by Kelis, Mario Alonzo, Shondrae "Bangladesh" Crawford, Jasper Cameron, Sean Garrett, and Todd "Too $hort" Shaw for Kelis' fourth studio album ''Kelis Was Here'' (2006). It features Too $hort and was released as the album's lead single in May 2006 in the United States. The song peaked at number sixteen on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100, making it the singer's second biggest Hot 100 hit thus far. While "Bossy" entered the top 10 in Finland, and also peaked within the top 20 in Australia, New Zealand, and Spain, it failed to chart or sell noticeably elsewhere.
It is believed that the track features a response to 50 Cent's 2005 single "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.
On December 11, 2006, Bossy was certified 2x's platinum by the RIAA.[1]

The video for "Bossy", which was directed by Marc Klasfeld -who would work with Kelis on "Blindfold Me" and "Lil' Star" later that year-, sees Kelis in different scenarios and outfits, depicting an atmosphere from an alluring upper-class world; from a diamond, octopus-filled party to a red Enzo Ferrari drive out in the night. It premiered on BET on May, 2006.
"Bossy" was released as the lead single from Kelis' fourth studio album, "Kelis Was Here", and first debuted onto the US billboard hot 100 in early 2006, and made its peak at #16, after steadily rising on the chart. "Bossy" was Kelis' first hot 100 entry for more than three years, and is thus far her second biggest hit, behind "Milkshake". The song also entered several other billboard charts including the US billboard R&B/hip-hop songs chart where it peaked at #11. "Bossy" also peaked at #11 on the US billboard hot R&B/hip-hop airplay chart. In the UK the single was released on September 4th 2006 and managed to peak at #22. It was a slight disappointment as it had charted lower than the four singles from Kelis' previous album "Tasty" which spawned four UK top 20 singles. "Bossy" returned Kelis to the Australian top 20, where it peaked at #18, but again it was still not as successful as the first two releases from "Tasty" there. "Bossy" performed better on the Australian and UK urban singles chart where it peaked at #4 and #7 respectively. "Bossy" reached the top ten in Finland and the Netherlands, the top twenty in New Zealand and Spain and the top 40 in Ireland and Austira. "Bossy" has also peaked at #41 in Belgium and Switzerland, and #64 in Germany. "Bossy" however was an improvement upon the third and fourth singles from "Tasty", "Millionaire" and "In Public", which had both either failed to chart or achieved a lower peak position on the united world chart, where "Bossy" reached the top 20 peaking at #16.
