Britney Spears - Hold it Against Me

"Hold It Against Me" was released on on January 11, 2011 as the the lead single to Britney Spears' seventh studio album Femme Fatale. It was written and produced by Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Billboard, with additional writing by Bonnie McKee. "Hold It Against Me" is a dance-pop song that blends pulsating industrial and trance beats with elements of grime. The chorus has lilting synths that lift her vocals and contrast them with the hard beats. The song features a dubstep-influenced breakdown, in which Britney moans and blows kisses, and the song ends with a final chorus with elements of rave. The lyrics portray the singer seducing someone on the dancefloor, and the chorus revolves around pick-up lines.

The music video for "Hold It Against Me" was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and premiered on February 17, 2011 on MTV following a successful two-week teaser campaign and featured Spears as an alien who finds fame on Earth but becomes overwhelmed with her celebrity and breaks down. While I love the song and video, I find the sheer amount of blatant product placement ridiculous.

"Hold It Against Me" became Britney's fourth number one single on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the second artist in history to have multiple singles debut at number one. The song also went to number one in six other countries and peaked within the top ten in over twelve countries worldwide.

Britney Spears - I Wanna Go

"I Wanna Go" is a song by Britney Spears, released as the third single from her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale. A catchy dance song that features a heavy bassline and drum fills, I Wanna Go was written and produced by Max Martin and Shellback, with additional writing by Savan Kotecha. Max Martin was responsible for many of the hot "teeny bopper" pop songs that were popular in the late 90s to early 2000s.

The music video for I Wanna Go is a fun look at her life and career, while making fun with some of ridiculousness such as paparazzi cyborgs. Although her vocals are processed (some might say over processed) it's a catchy, high energy anthem with typical saucy Britney lyrics and a great beat. It's great to see her have fun in the video, while poking fun of herself.
