Background and release

When choosing which song was going to be the lead single off of her seventh studio album, Elliott had plans to release "Act a Fool" as the lead single, but plans were quickly scrapped and "Best, Best" was chosen in its place. But the song was released only as promotional single on June 13, 2008. The radio edit of the song was included in a Pure Urban Essentials compilation album which was released to the UK iTunes Store on March 30, 2009.[1]

Composition

Written and produced by Elliott and Danja, "Best, Best" is a futuristic sounding, mid-tempo Hip-hop and R&B song. Like some of Elliott's other songs it is rapped and sung. After Billboard previewed the song they stated, "Elliott, repeated the last word to every sentence throughout, rhymes, ('We fuss fuss / we fight fight / we make up up / by the night night.')".[2]
