Beep Me 911 is a song recorded by American rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, featuring vocals by R&B trio 702 and rapper Magoo. It was written and composed by Elliott, Melvin Barcliff, and Tim "Timbaland" Mosley for her debut album Supa Dupa Fly (1997) and released as the album's third single, and was also released as the sixth single in the soundtrack of 1997 film Men in Black in 1998.

The lyrics describe Elliott insisting that, if her lover intends to leave her, he should tell her so before going, by any means necessary.

Music video

The video starts at a pink dollhouse where Elliott is wearing a yellow sparking dress and dancing with other dolls in a big cage. The girls of 702 are pole dancing and singing their verses.
