(Hills, Barthe, Araica)
Album: Circus
Danja will always hold a special place in the hearts of Britney fans for his career-defining contributions to Blackout. That is not to diminish his subsequent offerings, including this dizzy midtempo cut from Circus. Spears provides one of her best vocal offerings on the track, with the bulk of the song fitting comfortably within her more natural lower register. Her real genius on this track is that she is able to make her voice sound simultaneously strong and groggy, appropriate for the lyrical content that finds Spears trying to pull herself together the morning after what sounds like a particularly rambunctious night. The production here can be a bit heavy-handed, but it’s a solid slice of pop on what was a slightly uneven album.
