Since the other thread is nothing but people asking for a link, discuss the track here

[TheSmasher]

Love it. Dance video would be nice. Decent radio hit in my opinion. They should push it

[Nickey]

I love it!!!!! It's sicker than the remix A BOP

[Heisenberg]

Great song, a bop! But I cant deny her vocals are weak...

[MyahJeanSpears]

Its as lame as I expected.

Meh on Britney standards. Seems like it would be a filler on Femme Fatale or something. I'll take it over Gasoline tho 

All that being said still better than 90% of what is on the Hot 100 today. 

Was Will.I.Am a producer on the track? I feel like the glitch was a reference to his iconic Alien fack-up.

It’s kinda bad, but I think we’re so thirsty we’ll take anything from her. Even if she just held a note like in the super bowl commercial 

[s&m]

IMO there’s  nothing to discuss. The song is s.h.i.t. I don’t even know why BSB are present for half a verse of the song

Sis we all heard the melodyne on that note too. Don't front.  

The things this fandom holds onto... I'm guilty of it too, tbh. lol

[IamMax]

It's a great pop tune. It should had been a single back then. 

[Midnight]

A bop  

[RussianFan]

It is ok. Not bad, not great. Could be replaced by some glory songs.

Like playing with matches, matches, matches

Britney: Like playing with matches, matches, matches

[Nickey]

It's not epic,but it's fun 

I miss Britney being Britney. Maybe it makes me like the song more 

[nthenwkiss]

Forgettable.

[PrinceAli89]

It's a fun pop song, nothing more and nothing less. I do enjoy it because it is a bop and it's new Britney, but agree it's nothing spectacular. 

[Steel Magnolia]

It's a mediocre song, but they all turn in fun performances.

A great video with some cute choreo could make it a hit.

Something like this...

 

[DollyParton]

After 2 times listening you are done with it. Just like SITS.

 

They shouldn't release songs as a single that didn't made the final cut on Glory. If RCA wants new Britney music, let her make a new album. But we all know she isn't working, so now they are releasing those -not aged well- songs. Better to release nothing instead if you ask me.

I totally feel Britney for not acknowledge the SITS release.

I think you are right, a great video with epic choreo can make this song a boost. But without that, i think the song is kinda boring.

[Connor Walsh]

The song doesn't sound overproduced like SITS. The song is simple but it works. It sounds more current, it's catchy. I just don't know why there's a glitch at 2:17 in the HQ version that wasn't in the LQ version I heard.
