"Millionaire" is an R&B song written by American singer Kelis alongside songwriter, producer and singer André 3000 -half of the duo OutKast- for Kelis's 2003 third studio album Tasty.
The song was released as the album's third single in spring 2004. Just like the previous hit "Trick Me", it was only released in Europe and basically everywhere except the United States. The track is a duet between Kelis and André, over an electro-space-funky R&B beat. It features a sample from the song "La Di Da Di" as well as "I Shouldn't Have Done It", performed by rappers Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh.
It became her third consecutive top 3 hit in the UK, and it managed to sell a final number 65,000 copies there.
The video, directed by Giuseppe Cappotondi, does not feature Kelis or André 3000, and it instead has kids starring, playing roles of young Kelis and André.
