"Work It" is a song by American rapper Missy Elliott. It was written and produced by Elliott and frequent collaborator Tim "Timbaland" Mosley for her fourth studio album Under Construction (2002). The song's musical style, and production by Timbaland, were heavily inspired by old school hip hop from the early 1980s. It samples Run-DMC's "Peter Piper" and Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three's "Request Line," while the synth pattern in the rhythm track samples the intro of "Heart of Glass" by Blondie.
