This global hit marked Britney’s first-ever female collaboration and debuted at #1 in Australia, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, and Spain. It also peaked at number two in Canada, Greece, Italy, Norway, and the UK.

It was recently named one of the greatest songs of 2003 by Billboard.

America always had a hated relationship when it came to Britney. I remember being younger and always seeing negative things about her and her ***uality on the American news and could never understand why they wanted to tear her down when she released Slave 4 U

I agree.

America was always judging her and scrutinizing her for how she dressed and what she did in performances/videos when there were other female singers who were more provocative than her.

Like seriously Christina Aguilera during her entire career even with her debut era,

was WAY more sxual than Britney ever was yet Christina did not get the same backlash as Britney did.

I agree. They wanted to pit two young women against each other and needed one to be better than the other. The vocal spectrum of Xtina allowed her to kind of triumph in the general public’s eye as “the good girl who is okay to be **** because she actually sings live” where Britney became the “how dare she show her stomach and pierced belly button, she can’t sing and she is going to turn our children into sinners”. It was such a weird time and I’ve never seen anything like it since.

Not too sure why it only peaked 35 in the us, it went to 11 on mainstream 40 which is higher than a lot of singles from stronger-boys, plus that’s with the radio ban still fizzling. I

Yeah i'm glad that female singers aren't treated like that anymore. 

I guess it had to take Britney and how she was treated for people to stop doing that to modern female popstars now.

Some of Britney's sleekest and sharpest dance moves, expertly executed in the video! Madracula's ugly *** voice ruined the song imo.

The choreography is one of the toughest ones if not the toughest one from all her songs. The SNL performance is a perfect example of this.
