I wouldn't believe you because the beat/instruments are very 2000s Timbaland-y.
I now looked it up and The Neptunes (Pharrell) produced it, which makes sense because of the weird, idk, syncopation on the beat. I take back Timbaland because if he made the beat the instruments would stand out more and be more annoying (not that I'm annoyed, I just don't know how else to describe it).
I'm not music educated, so idk if my words are right.
I also feel like the singing is 2000s RnB style, but idk if that's just bias from knowing it's old, the instrumentation, or how the vocals are produced. I can't really name that many modern RnB woman singers so I don't have a good comparison frame. Compared to HER or SZA the vocals aren't that produced, Kelis is more imperfect and slightly raspy which i think would be edited more these days.
