"Can We" is a 1997 R&B single by the group SWV (Sisters With Voices) featuring guest vocals from Missy Elliott, produced by Elliott and Timbaland. The track first appeared on the soundtrack for the film Booty Call before being included on SWV's album Release Some Tension. It samples the intro of "Do the Hit" by The Egyptian Lover and became a hit, peaking at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song's lyrics focus on playful, intimate themes, with SWV singing about wanting to get "kinky" and spend the night together, while Elliott adds a rap verse about cruising in a car and feeling the vibe. Key lines include the chorus: "Can we get kinky tonight? / I got so many things on my mind / I never seen a guy so fine / I like it when you do me, do me". Elliott's contribution highlights her early role in blending hip-hop and R&B, showcasing her signature energetic style.
You can stream the track on platforms like Spotify, where it's listed at 4:54 in length, or watch the official music video on YouTube, which captures the song's flirtatious energy. The collaboration marked one of Elliott's notable features before her solo breakthrough with Supa Dupa Fly later that year.
