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.

Blackout turned out to be her most unsuccessful album in her career. She then released a track from her upcoming album called Womanizer which seemed to have redeemed her from the mess she made at the MTV Awards. The track contained everything that is Britney Spears: funky, interesting, and catchy. It will make you dance and groove. You will experience last-song-syndrome after listening to it.

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.

In this song, composers have adapted an electro-pop punk feel. This added to the appeal of the single because it’s something new and different. However, it would also seem fit if the song stayed true to Britney’s signature sound which is bubblegum pop. It would still have the same effect and appeal to the fans.

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.

And even though a music artist should strive for new and better songs, Britney seemed to have taken a couple of steps back with the way this track sounded (she has had earlier songs that showed signs of a more mature artist like the Madonna collaboration). However, it was a good decision to go back to basics. With Womanizer she was able to solidify her position in the pop scene.

Womanizer is a great song. Nothing much can be said, really. If you expect a great song from Britney Spears for her upcoming album, then this one really raised the bar.
