For this writer, listening to Britney Spears’ Womanizer single is reminiscent of how good she was back in her prime. This song will induce only two reactions: love or hate it. But I’m pretty sure most will not go for the latter.

Fans missed hearing the classic Britney Spears songs. She used to release album after album but due to being a personal trainwreck, we’ve seen her disappeared from all the bad publicity fast. But she is back. The release of Blackout made it official as well as her performance at the MTV VMAs where she made a complete mess of herself.

After the release of Blackout, which turned out to be her most unsuccessful album to date, she released Womanizer, a single from her upcoming album. This song seemed to hit the mark. It has all the elements that make a Britney hit: nice lyric, catchy and funky melody, and upbeat tempo. Fans loved it immediately. Just like the other hits, this one will make you get up and want to dance to its electro-pop feel.

Even though the lyrics were not as deep as one would expect from someone who’s been in the business for a long time, they were relatable. Fans will be able to connect to the song because they understand what it is all about: a womanizer who’s been found out by the girl he likes. Womanizer, woman-womanizer You’re a womanizer Oh womanizer, Oh you’re a womanizer baby You, you, you are You, you, you are Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer. Now that he has been outed, the girl would not let him get even to first base. Nikesha Briscoe and Rapheal Akinyemi did a great job penning the words.

The track has an electro-punk feel. It’s something that seems to be becoming a trend in today’s hit songs. However, despite the dance-y and pop quality of the song, it seems that they could have done away with the electo-techno-futuristic sound. The song would have done as well if it stayed on the pop-bubble gum genre which Britney Spears is famous for.

However, it still sounded great. When you listen to it, you can’t deny that it is a Britney Spears song. The lyric, phrasing, the distinctive vocals, and tempo-all of these are the signatures of the pop superstar.

While most artists would like to come out with new and better songs, Britney seemed to have went back to basics with this song. Even though she has had more mature-sounding (technically and creatively) songs like the Madonna collaboration, Womanizer sounded like what she would record during her first two years in the business. However, it was a good decision because it allowed listeners to see and hear the true Britney Spears.

One can’t deny the fact that Womanizer is a great song. If you expect a great comeback hit from Britney Spears, then you’ve got it. Nothing more is needed to be said.
