following the release of the third single from "dna", "change your life", little mix aspired to release "how ya doin'?" as the album's fourth single, but with a different marketing strategy to that of the previous single's release. in an interview with robert copsey of digital spy, jade thirlwall mentioned, "it was tricky with 'change your life' because a lot of fans already had it from the album, it's hard to push songs that have been available to buy for months already, whereas 'how ya doin'?' is a bit different." the group were keen on the track featuring a guest appearance from another recording artist. jesy nelson told jocelyn vena of mtv news, "we just wanted to change it up a little bit and make it more funky and, yeah, just give something a little bit different." she added, "and plus we've never had a feature on any of our [singles]." an opportunity to have american rapper missy elliott feature on "how ya doin'?" then arose, which little mix pushed for. speaking to clemmie moodie of the "daily mirror", nelson said, "as soon as we thought there might be a chance [missy elliott would] appear on the track we did literally everything we could to make sure it happened." a collaboration between the group and elliott was then arranged by little mix's a&r team. despite featuring on the group's song, elliott never met up with little mix for the collaboration. instead, the rapper recorded and co-wrote her verse in the united states in 2013. elliott is considered an idol for little mix and her feature on the song was met with shock and disbelief from the group. media outlets were also surprised by the feature, some noting elliott's support of misha b, little mix's fellow contestant, during their season on the x factor, as reasoning. "how ya doin'?" was chosen as a single to sonically depict the group's old school music roots, who they were inspired by and a change in sound from their previous singles. little mix consider the song as "a brilliant single [that] makes you want to dance."
