"Bossy" is a song by American R&B singer Kelis, featuring American rapper Too Short. It was released in the United States in January 2006 as the lead single from Kelis' fourth studio album, Kelis Was Here (2006). The song peaked at number 16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, making it the singer's second biggest Hot 100 hit thus far, as well as Too Short's first top 40 hit. While "Bossy" entered the top ten in Finland and the top 20 in Australia and New Zealand, it failed to chart or sell noticeably elsewhere. The song features an Roland 808 drum machine.

On December 11, 2006, "Bossy" was certified double platinum by the RIAA.

The Redsoul 8055y remix was part of the runway soundtrack of the 2006 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The song was featured on the 30 Rock episode "The Aftermath". It was featured on The O.C. in the episode "The Graduates".

It was also featured in the very popular Ultra Music compilation Ultra.Dance 08, part of the record label's Ultra.Dance series.

"Bossy" debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in early 2006 and peaked at number 16 on the date issued August 5, 2006, becoming her third Hot 100 entry and her second biggest hit after 2003's "Milkshake". The song entered several other Billboard charts, including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, on which it peaked at number 11.

In the United Kingdom, the single was released on September 4, 2006 and peaked at number 22, a lower position than those reached by the four singles from Kelis' previous album, Tasty. "Bossy" returned Kelis to the top 20 in Australia, where it peaked at number 18, but it was not as successful as the first two releases from Tasty, "Milkshake" and 2004's "Trick Me". The song fared better on the R&B charts of Australia and the UK, reaching numbers four and seven, respectively.
