Hold It Against Me

r01

The seventh era has begun.

I liked it the moment I heard it. She's not gone in a totally different direction, but she's pushing pop perfection to another level. It is signature Spears, those vocals, those spoken bits, that attitude... It is a whole 3:50 of wonderful.

The way the bass thumps to a pace that is described as the "closest aural representation of literal fucking that exists" is totally mind-blowing. The way it plays hide-and-seek throughout the song - mind-blowing. The way it sounds so dirty when it drops - mind-fucking-blowing.

The lyrics are more school yard chant than epic poetry but one line saved the entire track from total lack of imagination in this department.

"If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?"

It has rendered other songs unnecessary for the next week at least.

I haven't read a bad review of this song. It's possible that no one dares to give it a bad review.

It's Britney Spears.

"The chorus. Is everywhere."

BEST REPLY EVER.

Anyway, I am so happy that she beat some record made by Taylor Swift for "Today Is A Fairytale".

SO HAPPY.
