Under Construction reunited Elliott with Timbaland after the departure of long-time collaborator and producer Donald "DJ Scratch" Jackson, returning to the danceable, anime-influenced hip-hop that characterized her earlier work.
- The album was initially set to be titled 'X-Treme,' but was changed to 'Under Construction' after concerns that the original title might be too extreme.
- The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA in December 2002, just over a month after its release, and has since been certified Triple Platinum.
- "Work It," the album's lead single, peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains one of Elliott's most recognizable songs.
