"good, but not great"? Is it because knowing it should have been the original 3rd single (4th at least) from 'Blackout', it just seems pointless as part of 'Circus'? Is it because 'Blackout' is just a flawless album from start to finish, so it sounds so odd being released as a single at the end of the 'Circus' era? It is just bizarre. I do thank the 'Circus' era for giving us that horse in the video though. Pretty iconic moment.

I think it's because it FITS on Blackout. And it just doesn't on Circus. I also think the fact they made it a single over Shattered Glass or Unusual You (those were the picks between that and If You Seek Amy). JUSTICE 4 UNUSUAL YOU.

Break the tension Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 88,874 User: 51	I think it's a psychological thing and you know it just sounds weird when listening to the album, it's almost like an old uninvited friend gatecrashing one of your parties. (although isn't it a slightly different version too, or am I imagining that?) I still don't quite understand the logic releasing it as the final single from the second studio album it featured on, it should've been the rightful third single from Blackout.

I remember everyone on BritneyBoards saying they would be fine with it being on the album if it were a re worked version. But, no one was okay with it being a single. It was released to fufull an agreement with Bloodshy & Avant, Britney had promised them the single treatment after 'Piece Of Me', but she wanted 'Break The Ice' instead at the time... With plans for it to be the fourth single. I'm glad she went for, Break The Ice. This post has been edited by Tyler~: Sep 16 2014, 03:21 PM

That's what I get from it anyway I'm sure there's probably a better excuse somewhere haha.

It went top 25 on US radio, and ended up peaking top 15 on iTunes. It faired well in the UK as well. I think it showed off the more urban side of the album.
