After a three-year hiatus that involved concentration on individual solo projects, Rowland rejoined Beyoncé Knowles and Michelle Williams for Destiny's Child's final studio album Destiny Fulfilled, released in November 2004.{{Cite web|last=Kaufman |first=Gil |title=Destiny's Child's Long Road To Fame (The Song Isn't Called 'Survivor' For Nothing) |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1504044/20050613/destinys_child.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050616030354/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1504044/20050613/destinys_child.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 16, 2005 |work=MTV News |publisher=Viacom |date=June 13, 2005 |access-date=April 1, 2008}} Meanwhile, Rowland had started work on the conception of her second solo studio album.{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland Hooks Up With Beyonce's Sister Again For Solo LP|first1=Brandee J.|last1=Tecson|first2=Jeff |last2=Cornell |date=February 24, 2006|work=MTV News|publisher=Viacom|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1524914/kelly-rowland-hooks-up-with-beyonces-sister.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140414114825/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1524914/kelly-rowland-hooks-up-with-beyonces-sister.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 14, 2014|access-date=March 13, 2007}} She began collaborating with songwriter-producer Bryan Michael Cox, partner WyldCard, and production duo CKB. Some of their early recordings, including "Bad Habit" and "Flashback", were later included on Destiny's Child's final studio album as well as the group's live DVD Live in Atlanta (2006), respectively. As she was anxious to avoid hasty productions as on her previous album, which Rowland felt was less personal, she took a wider role in the production of the album; the singer co-wrote the majority of the songs and shared ideas in which one to produce.{{cite magazine|title=Rowland Wrestles With Relationships On New Album|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/58735/rowland-wrestles-with-relationships-on-new-album|access-date=April 26, 2013}} "I wrote a lot on this record [...] and it's especially from me [to my fans]," she told CNN about the album. "It's a feelgood record; very intimate. It's a sneak peak[sic] into my mind and heart of the past three or four years."

After the rock–dance sound which dominated her previous album Simply Deep, Rowland felt she was still struggling with finding her sound as solo artist, and instead of capitalizing off its international success, the singer and her management settled on "a more urban approach" with her second album.{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/kelly-rowland--in-control-of-her-own-destiny-2021875.html |title=Kelly Rowland – In control of her own destiny |last=Eger-Cooper |first=Matilda |work=The Independent |date=July 9, 2010 |access-date=July 9, 2010 | location=London}} Commenting on her decision, Rowland later told MTV News, "in general, I'm going in the urban, more R&B route. Of course, that's what I started with Destiny's Child, [but on] my first solo album I did more of a pop-sounding record. So I wanted to go back to my roots and dibble and dabble with some beats." Consequently, Columbia Records consulted a wider range of contemporary R&B and hip hop producers and artists such as Big Tank, Patrick "J. Que" Smith, Rockwilder, Rich Harrison, Rodney Jerkins, and Robin Thicke to work with Rowland on the album. Female rapper Eve, also lent her voice to a guest part.

Lyrically, love, independence, and maturity became reoccurring themes throughout the album.{{cite web |url=http://www.rap-up.com/2007/04/16/kelly-rowland-album-preview-ms-kelly/|title=Kelly Rowland Album Preview: 'Ms. Kelly'|work=Rap-Up |publisher=Rap-Up.com|date=April 16, 2007 |access-date=May 1, 2013}} With songs such as "'I'm Still in Love with My Ex" and "Better Without You" inspired by Rowland's former relationship with American football player Roy Williams, most of the tracks Rowland recorded were relationship-driven, something she said she was not hesitant about discussing. "I just went in the studio and just did me, because I think that's when you get your best product. That's when it's just natural. It just flew out of my mouth and came out in lyrics [and] I had great writers involved." While recording her vocals, Rowland was inspired by several singers, citing former bandmate Beyoncé Knowles, and singers Brandy and Whitney Houston as major inspirations, "I listened to a lot of Whitney Houston for her vocals. I love her. I love Beyoncé's voice, and I love Brandy. Those are three vocalists who inspire me. I love how different they are. I love how they take themselves to the next level."

Opening song and lead single "Like This", which features rap from Eve, was one of the last songs recorded for Ms. Kelly. Noted for the use of a cowbell in its melody, the single was first released in March 2007 to mixed reviews and became Rowland's highest-charting solo single since "Stole" (2002).{{cite web|title='Like This' Chart History|work=aCharts|url=http://acharts.us/song/12372|access-date=June 15, 2007}} The second track, titled "Comeback", is one of the two tracks Scott Storch contributed to the album. Planned to be released as the album's second single, Rowland shot a music video for the track with director Philip Andelman in July 2007. When a single release failed to materialize, the video premiered on Rowland's official YouTube account in early 2008. "Ghetto" is set as the third track and features rapper Snoop Dogg. Originally recorded for the shelved My Story, the crunk-influenced track was released as the album's second single in North America in August 2007, where it achieved minor success, reaching number nine on the US Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles only.{{cite magazine|title=Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Single (2007-09-01)|magazine=Billboard|url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/search/detailed_chart_display.jsp?g=s&cd=Sep-01-2007&f=Bubbling%20Under%20R&B/Hip-Hop%20Singles&model.chartId=3085970_Bubbling|access-date=May 18, 2009}} The album's fourth track, "Work", was written after returning from a night out in Miami and rushed in "like twenty minutes."{{cite web|title=DJ B interviews Kelly Rowland |work=BBC/1Xtra |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/rnb/features/kelly.shtml |access-date=January 25, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071225103557/http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/rnb/features/kelly.shtml |archive-date=December 25, 2007 |url-status=dead }} An up-tempo composition featuring funk production and go-go elements,{{cite web|title=Work music sheet|work=Musicnotes|url=http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/scorch.asp?ppn=sc0086018|access-date=July 12, 2008}} it was released as the album's second international single during the first quarter of 2008 and enjoyed major international commercial success, emerging as the highest-charting single off the album.{{cite web|title=Album Charts Performance|work=aCharts|url=http://acharts.us/album/26692|access-date=June 7, 2009}} Synthesized "Flashback" is the fifth track of the album and had previously appeared on Destiny's Child's video album Live in Atlanta (2006).

The seventh track "The Show" features a guest appearance by singer Tank, who produced the track. It's followed by a one-minute-long interlude. The ninth track "Still in Love with My Ex" was rumored to be about Rowland's ex-fiancée Roy Williams. The tenth track "Better Without You" speaks about a protagonist who feels better after ending a relationship. It's followed by the eleventh track "Love", and the album closes with a love song "This Is Love".

Originally expected for a March 2006 release, the album had two title changes and three unofficial releases until its official release the following year.{{cite magazine|first=Mariel |last=Concepcion |date=March 12, 2007 |title=Oft-Delayed Kelly Rowland Album Due In June |magazine=Billboard |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1054002/oft-delayed-kelly-rowland-album-due-in-june |access-date=June 3, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130720134640/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1054002/oft-delayed-kelly-rowland-album-due-in-june |archive-date=July 20, 2013 }} Initially scheduled for a July 11, 2006 release, the album's original draft, entitled My Story, was eventually shelved in favor of a revamped version with a different vibe. Although manager Mathew Knowles initially insisted that the decision to push the release date from July 2006 was because more time would be needed to properly set up the project, Rowland later admitted that she had been unsatisfied with the album's direction, and thus, she asked to rework with a stable of new record producers on the project.{{cite magazine|author=Gail Mitchell|date=May 12, 2006|title=Kelly Rowland Album Bumped To 2007|magazine=Billboard|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/58439/kelly-rowland-album-bumped-to-2007|access-date=September 6, 2008}} Speaking of the delay and the original track listing, she told Billboard: "it was basically a list of songs that I put together about the past three years of my life, with love and relationships", and added: "And I remember listening to the record, and I was just like, 'I don't want this to be too deep to where, you know, [I] lose people.' And the record was too full of midtempos and ballads, so I wanted to bring it up a little bit."{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland Scraps Sappy Story, Picks Up Snoop |work=MTV News |publisher=VH1 |url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1541798/20060926/rowland_kelly.jhtml |access-date=March 13, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001103710/http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1541798/20060926/rowland_kelly.jhtml |archive-date=October 1, 2007 }}

Her decision led to the cancellation of the album's original leading single "Gotsta Go", a collaboration with rapper Da Brat that she premiered on the MTV Asia Awards 2006 Bangkok on May 6, 2006. Rowland eventually consulted new producers to collaborate on the album, including Mysto & Pizzi, Sean Garrett, Scott Storch, and Atlanta-based Polow da Don, who contributed the single "Like This," a duet with rapper Eve, to the album.{{cite web|title=Scott Storch Responds To Timbaland's Jabs| work=MTV News|first=Jayson|last=Rodriguez|date=March 9, 2007|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1554268/20070308/id_0.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311231243/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1554268/20070308/id_0.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 11, 2007|access-date=March 13, 2007}} In addition, the singer decided to retitle the album. She stated: "I really put my heart and soul into this record and not only am I excited that everyone's going to hear the music, I'm looking forward to people getting to hear the real me. That's the reason I called the album Ms. Kelly. Because the title is all about respect, being an adult and that's how I feel about my life, and my music."

Other promotional efforts included a sophomore CD teaser in Live in Atlanta features. "Flashback" was also included on an audio disc packaged with the DVD.{{cite web|title=Live in Atlanta – Destiny's Child|website=Amazon |date=January 20, 2019|url=https://www.amazon.com/Live-Atlanta-Destinys-Child/dp/B000EHQ8B4|access-date=January 20, 2019}}

Recorded late into the production of the album, Rowland and her management chose "Like This" as the lead single off Ms. Kelly. Moderately successful on the charts, the song reached the top ten in Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and dominated the US Dance Club Songs.{{cite web|title='Like This' History|work=aCharts|url=http://acharts.us/song/12372|access-date=June 15, 2007}}{{cite web|title=AMG: Billboard Singles |work=AllMusic Guide

Ms. Kelly received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of hundred to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of seventy, based on ten reviews.{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland — Ms. Kelly|work=Metacritic|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/rowlandkelly/mskelly?q=Kelly%20Rowland|access-date=February 2, 2008|archive-date=December 5, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205042658/http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/rowlandkelly/mskelly?q=Kelly%20Rowland|url-status=dead}} Alex Macpherson of The Guardian gave the album four and a half stars out of five. He complimented Ms. Kelly as "poised, dignified and completely lacking in the hysteria normally associated with R&B divas giving vent to their feelings" but felt that "the emotions simmering beneath her glassy, controlled tones are as raw as any Mary J. Blige classic." Ben Williams of the New York Post referred the album as a "mostly upbeat record that soulfully delves into contemporary funk", while Entertainment Weekly found that "after a blah solo debut with 2002's Simply Deep, Kelly Rowland — assisted by producers like Scott Storch and Polow Da Don — brings the noise and the funk to her vibrant follow-up. Newsday writer Glenn Gamboa remarked that with Ms. Kelly, Rowland "doesn't dabble in various genres. She doesn't try to push the envelope. Rowland does what she does best: She cranks out one potential pop hit after another. Ms. Kelly shows that Rowland knows her strengths and that she intends to keep playing to them."

Andy Kellman from AllMusic found that Ms. Kelly "sounds like an album where Rowland is mostly sorting through some deeply personal relationship issues with a couple relatively lighthearted songs thrown in for variety." He noted that "all-around, the album does provide a stronger set of songs than 2002's Simply Deep. The material tends to be kind of insidious, rather than hitting you immediately or going through one ear and out the other." Giving the album three stars out of five, he also remarked that "the lyrics [...] are direct and specific, going beyond basic breakup material." Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani stated that, "this time around, both the production and lyrics are stronger." He praised the "bona fide club jams" on the album. Billboard wrote that while "Rowland may never upstage her superstar groupmate Beyonce, but she certainly has the vocal chops and charm to stand on her own stiletto-clad feet. Compared with her gospel-fueled 2002 solo debut, Rowland appears confident and dominant on foot-stompers [and] though still short of career-defining, Ms. Kelly finds its author opening up more while welcoming the possibility that destiny may just find another star.{{cite magazine|title=Billboard CD reviews: Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Rowland|date=June 29, 2007|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/music-review-music-albums-dc-idUSN2926575520070630|access-date=April 24, 2013}}

In a mixed review for About.com, Mark Edward Nero characterized the album as "basically one by someone with the persona of a backup player who's been thrust in a lead role." While he praised songs such as "Work" and "Like This," Nero felt that the album contained too many "weak songs" and that Rowland, "although she may feel comfortable in the role, can't carry the full weight — just like Scottie Pippen never could with the [Chicago] Bulls." Dotmusic{{'}}s Jaime Gill called Ms. Kelly "old-fashioned", writing that "Rowland's big problem is that she has the lungs but not the voice [...] She can holler like Beyoncé, growl like Kelis or swoon like Aaliyah, but has little to no natural style of her own."{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland, Ms. Kelly |first=Jaime |last=Gill |date=July 13, 2007 |work=Dot Music |url=http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/070713/33/21e5f.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070717035007/http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/070713/33/21e5f.html |archive-date=July 17, 2007 |access-date=February 2, 2008 |url-status=dead }} Ken Capobianco's review for The Boston Globe was more emphatic dubbing it "a solid if somewhat safe set of grooves, but the album never takes full flight to become something special."{{cite news|title=Still Standing in the Shadows|first=Ken|last=Capobianco|date=July 10, 2007|work=The Boston Globe|url=http://www.boston.com/ae/music/cd_reviews/articles/2007/07/10/still_standing_in_the_shadows/|access-date=February 2, 2008}}

Ms. Kelly was listed for thirty-three weeks on nine different charts. It made its first appearance on the Irish Top 75, Dutch Top 100 and Swiss Top 100. Its highest peak position worldwide was number six on the US Billboard 200, selling 86,000 units in its first week and becoming Rowland's highest entry on the chart. The album spent eleven weeks inside the chart. By July 2011, Ms. Kelly had sold 222,000 copies in the United States.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/469131/kelly-rowland-steps-out-with-motivation-on-new-album|title=Kelly Rowland Steps Out With 'Motivation' On New Album|last=Shepherd|first=Julianne|magazine=Billboard|date=July 22, 2011|access-date=April 13, 2014}}

The album struggled to appear in the top-fifty of the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia, peaking at number forty-four after several weeks on the chart. However, the album reached the top ten on the Australian Urban Albums, peaking at number eight.

The reissue, titled Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe, charted for three weeks on the top seventy-five UK Albums Chart, entering the chart at number twenty-three. It charted significantly higher internationally, peaking two weeks later on the European Top 100 Albums chart at number eighty.

Following the original album's lukewarm sales and reception, Rowland re-entered recording studios to collect new songs for a reissue of Ms. Kelly, including production by Stargate, Jeff Dawson, CKB and Mark Feist.{{cite web|author=Butta |date=August 14, 2007 |title=Kelly Rowland To Re-Release CD? |publisher=VIBE |url=http://blogs.vibe.com/vc/2007/08/kelly-rowland-to-rerelease-cd/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090603104523/http://blogs.vibe.com/vc/2007/08/kelly-rowland-to-rerelease-cd/ |archive-date=June 3, 2009 |access-date=August 17, 2007 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland Shouts-Out That Grape Juice |work=Young Voices |url=http://www.young-voices.co.uk/article.php?aid=64 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080311152232/http://www.young-voices.co.uk/article.php?aid=64 |archive-date=March 11, 2008 |access-date=March 22, 2008 |url-status=dead }} She was also expected to record with producer Danja, but deadline pressure prevented from happening; a new track by J.

"I didn't realize it while I was recording it. After it was released [back in June] many fans said the songs would rock if they were more upbeat." Branded with the title Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe, the United States re-release received a digital download release only on March 25, 2008, containing seven tracks—five new songs and two remixes of songs found from the standard edition of the album.{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland Revamps With New Songs, Digital Album Drops March 25 |work=Singersroom.com |url=http://www.singersroom.com/news/entertainment-story-1461.asp |archive-url=https://archive.today/20080302111358/http://www.singersroom.com/news/entertainment-story-1461.asp |archive-date=March 2, 2008 |access-date=March 2, 2008 |url-status=dead }} Previously unreleased song "Daylight", a Bobby Womack cover and collaboration with Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, served as the reissue's new lead single. The international edition of the Ms. Kelly re-release was released physically and digitally in May 2008, retitled as Ms. Kelly: Deluxe Edition. It removed seven tracks from the original release and replaced them with six of the seven Diva Deluxe tracks, an additional remix of "Daylight" by Joey Negro and the internationally successful Freemasons remix of "Work", as Rowland "wanted to have another view on the record and close the Ms. Kelly chapter" with the re-release.{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland Speaks To Top DC Fansite|work=That Grape Juice|url=http://www.thatgrapejuice.net/search/label/Kelly%20Rowland|access-date=March 29, 2008}}{{cite web|title=Kelly Rowland — Ms. Kelly Deluxe|work=Play.com|url=http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/5333407/Ms-Kelly-Deluxe/Product.html|access-date=March 29, 2008}}
