Posted September 27, 201113 yr rMqayQ-U74s Released September 26, 2008 "Womanizer" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears from her sixth studio album, Circus. It was released on September 26, 2008 by Jive Records as the lead single of the album. Produced and co-written by Nikesha Briscoe and Rafael Akinyemi of The Outsyders, the song had to be re-recorded after a snippet was leaked onto the web. "Womanizer" is an uptempo electropop song with characteristic sirens and a repetitive hook. Described by Spears as a girl anthem, the song's lyrics recall a womanizing man, while the protagonist of the song makes clear she knows who he really is. "Womanizer" was well-received by contemporary critics, with reviewers complimenting its hook and empowering lyrics, while deeming it as a comeback single for Spears. "Womanizer" was a commercial success, peaking atop of the charts in Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Sweden and the United States. It also reached the top ten in Australia, Japan, New Zealand and many European countries. In the United States, "Womanizer" was her first single to reach number-one since "...Baby One More Time" in 1999. It is also her best-selling digital song in the country, having sold over 3.2 million copies. The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, was created by Spears as a sequel to the music video of "Toxic". It portrays Spears as a woman who disguises herself in different costumes and follows her boyfriend through his daily activities to expose him in the end. The video also contains interspersed scenes of Spears naked in a steam room, as a response to the attacks she had received over the years about her weight. It received positive reviews and was considered as a return to form for Spears. The video was also nominated for two categories at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and went on to win Best Pop Video.

September 27, 201113 yr Author AS IF! :o Doesn't feel that long ago whatsoever! I know. How the time has flown! I was 18 :o
September 27, 201113 yr Is it still your favourite instrumental track, Tyler? The production on it is still as insane today as it was 3 years ago. It still sounds so fresh and new :wub:
September 28, 201113 yr Author YESS IT IS. 'Gimme More' is a close second. 'Hold It Against Me' being a close third. zpWSMd_kTok APPRECIATE THE EPICNESS.
September 28, 201113 yr Still love this song, I remmeber alot of people slagging it off when it came out but never could understand why. Second favourite britney track.
September 28, 201113 yr This is a very overrated song, at least half of the Circus album was better and the chorus just relied on one word repeated.
September 29, 201113 yr Yeah this is still one of the most tuneless and overhyped songs in her back cat :D It doesn't even HAVE a chorus. Just a chant. Blah.
September 29, 201113 yr YESS IT IS. 'Gimme More' is a close second. 'Hold It Against Me' being a close third. zpWSMd_kTok APPRECIATE THE EPICNESS. How? The production on 'Break the Ice' is far superior to that. Edited September 29, 201113 yr by ▲▲▲
September 29, 201113 yr How? The production on 'Break the Ice' is far superior to that. They are Tyler's top 3.
September 29, 201113 yr Author They are Tyler's top 3. LOL CREMEY JUST GOT TOLD. loljkbutreally. I just love it, the sirens slay me. But BTI is amazing as well.
September 29, 201113 yr 3 YEARS?! At the time I loved it and I do think it's one of her best recent singles, BUT I can't listen to it anymore. It sort of bores me. It was without a doubt the best song on Circus though.
October 1, 201113 yr This is still a wonderful song (though Circus is better). I loved it so much at the time but I don't listen to it much anymore.
October 2, 201113 yr I think it's one of her only singles to showcase her real voice (well her lower range anyway).
