What is Britney's worst lead single?

[JackSProductions]

Without a doubt Work *****. For many reasons:

1. It’s damn right offensive to Britney and her situation. Disgusting 

2. It’s not even her singing. Lol

3. It’s from THAT album. But even then there was better choices.

Say what you want but I actually really enjoy Make Me, and I listen to it quite often! However there was better options for the lead single.

 

P.S best lead single is without a doubt Oops!…I Did It Again as she really did do it again.

Make me it's kinda a borefest when you know Glory had way better songs.

THIS!

Change Your Mind, Do You Wanna Come Over, Better, Liar, Love Me Down etc 

 

I like Make Me but just not for a lead single (or single at all, sorry not sorry)

 

[ganja_danja]

Unpopular opinion...i never loved Slave 4 U when it first came out, and it's always the most skippable out of all the lead singles for me personally. If it weren't for the iconic snake performance and the choreography, i would be able to forget about the song itself. 

 

And I've been a fan since the tender age of 10 when BOMT first came out. Idk how relevant that is.

i dislike both make me and work b, but make me is more enjoyable imo. work b sounds dated and cringey

WB is a bop and you will deal with it Perfect workout song.

Omg

Although I heard many fans back then didn't like it, it was so different from Britney that they even got angry at her and stopped listening to her, moving on to Shakira for example. 

Maybe if she did release Bombastic Love, Lonely or Cinderella for the lead single it wouldn't be that quite of shock, but again, it wouldn't be so iconic without that shock factor.

She would have been like Taylor, playing it safe and not changing that much.

The reason I chose Make Me over Work B is that Do You Wanna Come Over? would have been a much superior lead single in my opinion. Make Me is just so bland. While yes work Work B is from BJ (an album that should've been a 6 song LP IMO) it's thumping base line elevates it slightly above Make Me.

i hate both work b and working out so not for me thank u 

[thebritmaster]

I think Work B is the worst. Britney was coming off a hugely successful radio era with the Femme Fatale singles. Then dropped WB with a word in the chorus that couldn’t be played on the air

Fair enough

[blackoutbixxh]

Work *****
 

The only things that saved that song and made it the hit it is today were the video and her performances 

[IStandByWhatISaid]

Me against the Music, sound like a B-Side

[nthenwkiss]

happy to see MATM is getting the hate it deserves. imagine toxic as the lead? omg wasted opportunity.

and sorry, make me was a great choice, it showed her in a different light and i love that song.

outside of MATM - all other were good leads and fitted the moment / atmosphere of the time.

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

It’s just me.  

..And me.  

[Avenger]

Make me is winning and I love to see it

What are you smoking? MATM did fit the atmosphere of the time, that's why the Princess & Queen of Pop sang an RnB infused dance-song. It's reflective of its time and the definition of a mood and vibe.

Britney didn't even sing on WB and HIAM always sounded like awfully dated eurodancetrash from the 90s.

Double post, please delete!.

Make Me was and remains her most underwhelming lead single to date. It’s boring, forgettable and the G-Eazy verse just kills the entire vibe. Can’t remember the last time I actually took the time of my day to listen to it.  

WB is a close second due to the lack of messy vocals, but at least the production was stellar and the song got people talking.
Also, jail to anyone who votes MATM. It’s one of her best productions and is peak urbanney at her finest. 

 MM is not a generic banger, but it's one of best songs. So I stan.  I jam to it daily since day 1.

And the genre was spot on the time. It still didn't age a day.

MATM is a great song, but lead single? Please. Toxic is one of the most iconic song ever made by ANYONE. So it was clearly lead single material.

 

[AjBritFan]

I feel like Make Me is only considered boring because of the music video....with a better video I feel it could have been recieved great. The song is good. 

MATM is sooooo boring to me. Such a boring song and video. I don't understand toxic not being the lead on this album? 

Hold it against me has way to many votes on this. That song and video are amongst some of her best!

Oh no I was never mad about it or upset about the ***ual lyrics... I'm just not wild about the chorus. I can bop to it when it comes on...but it certainly doesn't make too many of my playlists. :(
