"Tempo" pairs Lizzo with Missy Elliott on Cuz I Love You, the 2019 set that was both her third studio album and her major-label debut, on Atlantic. It's R&B with a trap engine, a bass-heavy beat with a woodwind feel, and a lyric that celebrates body positivity, curves and all.
The two stars wrote it with Sweater Beats, Tobias Wincorn, Theron Thomas, Dan Farber and Ricky Reed, and Raymond Scott gets a co-writing credit too, because the track samples his electronic piece "Nescafé" from Manhattan Research, Inc. Lizzo and Reed co-produced with Farber, Wincorn, Sweater Beats and Nate Mercereau. Critics praised both performances and heard a club record, and Andy Hines directed the video, which landed that July.
