Missy Elliott Asks Record Label to Add Her Shark Tale Song “Car Wash” with Christina Aguilera to Streaming Platforms

Missy Elliott Wants a 2000s Classic Back Online

November 27, 2025: Missy Elliott is calling on her record label to finally make her hit duet “Car Wash” with Christina Aguilera available on major streaming platforms. The song — which appeared on the Shark Tale soundtrack in 2004 — was a standout collaboration that blended Aguilera’s powerhouse vocals with Missy’s unmistakable hip-hop flair. Despite its popularity, the track has long been missing from Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services, frustrating fans who still love the nostalgic anthem.

Why the Song Isn’t Available Yet

While the exact licensing issue remains unclear, industry insiders say soundtrack rights, label ownership, and distribution contracts may all be factors. Missy’s public request signals her desire for fans to be able to access the track easily, especially as 2000s music experiences a major resurgence on social media.

Fans Rally Behind Missy and Christina

The moment Missy posted about the situation, fans across X, TikTok, and Instagram jumped in to support the idea — tagging labels, posting clips from the Shark Tale movie, and demanding the song be restored online. Many noted it remains one of the most memorable soundtrack remakes of the era, combining two iconic voices at the height of their careers.

A New Wave of Nostalgia for Shark Tale

The renewed attention has also sparked conversation about the original film soundtrack, which featured multiple high-profile artists. “Car Wash,” in particular, became a standout, with its energetic production and the charisma of both Elliott and Aguilera making it a staple of mid-2000s pop culture.

What Happens Next?

Labels have not yet responded publicly, but Missy’s request has reignited demand for the song’s digital return. With growing fan pressure and streaming platforms continuing to expand their catalogues of early-2000s hits, many believe “Car Wash” may finally get its long-awaited release soon.
