Britney Spears' 'Hold It Against Me' Leaks Online a Day Ahead of Official Release

By John Mitchell Posted Jan 10th 2011 11:18AM

Leading up to the release of her new single, 'Hold It Against Me,' Britney Spears has been hinting and winking at her legions of fans, but she's kept a surprisingly tight lid on the single itself. Sure, the demo dropped last week, but unlike countless other artists, Spears had been able to keep the final version under wraps -- until now.

A day ahead of its official release, 'Hold It Against Me' has found its way online, and it seems Spears has yet another big hit on her hands.

Enjoy it while you can!

The song is produced by unstoppable hitmakers Max Martin and Dr. Luke. Martin is a Spears stalwart, having written and/or produced her hits '...Baby One More Time,' 'If You Seek Amy' and her most recent No. 1 hit, '3.'

Having had an unbelievable 2010, Dr. Luke is among the biggest producers in music right now. If you are a Katy Perry fan, you can pretty much thank Luke, who produced, ahem, 'I Kissed a Girl,' 'Hot N Cold,' 'California Gurls' and 'Teenage Dream.' His work on Perry's 'Teenage Dream' album earned him an Album of the Year Grammy nomination.

He and Martin are longtime collaborators, joining forces to produce hits for Kelly Clarkson ('My Life Would Suck Without You'), Pink ('Who Knew'), T.I. ('That's All She Wrote') and Ke$ha ('Kiss N Tell').

The demo version of Spears' 'Hold It Against Me,' with vocals by singer/songwriter Bonnie McKee, found its way onto the Internet late last week. The bass-thumping, synth-heavy dance track features lyrics like, "If I said my heart was beating loud, if we could escape the crowd somehow / If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me? / 'Cause you feel like paradise and I need a vacation tonight / So if I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?"

eh... I've been a Britney fan since the beginning but kind of sounds like every other song she's done recently. Could be time to retire.

Yeah, sure it "leaked". This is just publicity. If you believe it, you are not a smart person. If you are smart, you should be insulted that they think you would believe this.

By wrenogade

Heck, it is just as bad as Britt believing she REALLY looks like her airbrushed photos! About the only reality in this girls life is what a mess she is making of it. She is no Madonna, as she has burned out before 30 and is not delivering anything new. Never really had a voice, as she was a Pop product. Watch out Miley...this is what happens when you fan base outgrows your limited talent!

I wish someone would let Britney grow up and start singing like a 29 year old woman instead of a 19 year old girl. It's bordering on ridiculous. Her voice sounds totally weird, and it's about as un-sexy a song as one could get. Two thumbs down!

By frances

brit did it again! this will definitely be another number 1 hit! love it!

By Jim

OK. We know you're proud of your daughter.

By LaDiva

God, this woman has such a horrible voice.
The mute button sounds a whole lot better than she does.

By Gio

I agree with earlier post. Sounds just like every other recent Britney synthesized song. Plus this one includes an old and trite one-liner the teens will think she invented "If I said I like your body would you hold it against me." I think it may be from Rodney Dangerfield. My goodness how things stay the same as they change. Britney, it's boring, though you are a superstar for sure.

By Jenny

blah. Very very blah.... I'm dissapointed.

By DIDHE SAYDAT

My gosh. Pop music really sucks now days. This song is just another example of how far pop has fallen off.

She makes my sticker peck out!

By ldypassat

It's bad when the back up singers sound better than the lead singer - her voice sounds the same in every song she sings. Definitely skipping this CD!!!
