KLatz Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I've said this before, but this is truly one of her best singles. It's such a burst of energy and that final, rave-y last chorus is absolutely euphoric! I hope at some point it gets a popularity resurgence or goes viral because it's so underrated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tost1 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 By far the best single she released post circus and her last truly great single. An experimental bop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naval23 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Her best 2010s song - the chart performance is kind of baffling though Like it became her first top 5 radio hit. It debuted at #1, had huge first week sales of 400k+ But it's like every metric dropped it after a few weeks...such a good song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianSolo Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 The release of this song was such a moment and it's such a stellar pop song. I definitely fell in love with her all over again thanks to Femme Fatale, as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbsparce Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Someone pull up the review from one of the most prominent pop music blogs of the time. It was ran by a gay () Britney stan and the layout of the page was pink. I wish I could remember its name. It perfectly described why this song is so good.

BraveNewSeth Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The production on this song is just… I want to say immaculate, but even that feels like an understatement. The way it ebbs and flows, with fast paced verses to stripped back choruses, until that final chorus hits and practically ******* EXPLODES I’ll never understand why this song had zero longevity and is lowkey forgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicy_TyTy Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 This was such a moment when it came out, rinsed this track and the album so hard back in the day. She was definitely a few steps ahead of the dubstep trend in mainstream music and the breakdown goes off. Shame the campaign execution was less than extrodinairy and her heart wasn't in it for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonnonA Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The chorus melody is insane. I remember first hearing it in the Bonnie McKee demo that leaked - that really hyped me up for the actual release (which happened only a few days later if I recall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erreur2 La Nature Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) One of my least favorite Britney singles but still a solid 8.5/10 Edited October 15, 2023 by Erreur2 La Nature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no promo for this. The choreo is weird but it kind of works for the dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Luke Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I remember the demo leak and instant denial that that would be a Britney lead single, it was kind of a letdown at first the song grew on me instantly though, even moreso after the official release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only 2x platinum ELIGIBLE (not even certified!!) after 12 years. Those are terrible numbers for a #1. OT: tragic forgotten flop song. The fact that it’ll take DECADES to reach 100M on Spotity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
