This Is Not a Test! is the fifth studio album by American rapper Missy Elliott, released by The Goldmind Inc. and Elektra Records on November 25, 2003 (see 2003 in music in the United States). It was primarily produced by Timbaland, with additional production from Craig Brockman, Nisan Stewart and Elliott herself. The album debuted and peaked at number 13 on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart and spawned two singles with "Pass That Dutch" and "I'm Really Hot". The album was a moderate critical success and widely failed to receive major commercial success, eventually becoming Elliott's lowest selling album to date.
