(Spears, Walter, Gough, Kerr, Morier)
Album: Circus
Mmm Papi is one of Spears’s most bizarre and polarizing tracks. An electropop song that combines elements of surf rock and Latin-pop dance hall, it’s a lot to take in. But it is fun as hell! The track’s reputation has been a bit marred over speculation as to who the doting narrator is referencing, with some fans viewing this as an unwelcome reminder of less happy times. Spears lays it on a bit thick at the end of the song, but to those who can bring themselves to enjoy the trip without reading too much into the lyrics, they’re in for a rollicking time. It’s not the best of Spears’s co-writing credits on Circus, but it’s not as bad as many make it out to be.
