Kehlani feat. Missy Elliott – Back And Forth [Video]

Kehlani and Missy Elliott take “Back and Forth” into full party mode with a new official video.

Pulled from Kehlani’s self-titled album Kehlani, the song already had the feel of an R&B throwback filtered through a current-night-out mindset. Kehlani brushes off relationship tension with smooth control, while Missy Elliott brings the record a burst of veteran charisma without turning it into a nostalgia exercise. The Aaliyah nod is right there in the title and feel, but “Back and Forth” works because it treats that reference as a spark, not a costume.

Director X gives the video the same social charge. The clip moves through house-party energy, dance sequences, and a surprise appearance from Monica, which ties the whole moment even closer to R&B lineage without making it feel museum-piece serious. Kehlani sounds relaxed in the pocket, Missy still knows exactly how to bend a room around her presence, and the visual leans into that chemistry.

“Back and Forth” arrives in the middle of a busy Kehlani chapter, with the album out now and a world tour on the way. Watch the official video below.
