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?"

Honestly, most all of these young girls sound the same to me anymore.

Agree'd I am so over auto tuned music, which I would be willing to over look if the song was at least good.

Britanny Leaks as well. She looks like a truckie. A man in drag. Ugly and can't sing. But today all we need is for woemn to show flesh and they are famous.

As others have noted, nothing new or different here. It's the same synthetic sound used to cover her weak voice that her handlers have been turning out for years. And just like in previous years her fans who love this kind of crap will go running like the fools they are and when she tours they will pay big bucks to watch her flap her lips while some back stage guy presses "play". There is NO shortage of suckers keeping her in mansions and fools and their money are always soon parted

voice... Its waaaaaaaaaay played out.

By gracie

hateee it SO much
HOPE her album doesnt suck this bad :(
sooooo dissapointed brit :(

you need more if you seek amy

By Brandy

I think it's time for her to just be a mommy. Almost all her music sounds the same, just give it up now not the same as she used to be.

By frances

to jim, i wish she was. sure she's had problems, but don't we all? btw, she's only 2 years younger than me.

By nymick131

i just tuned out that whole song. i'm not a britney fan, but at least her other songs were semi-decent. this just sucked.

By Jezebel

Only the electro & when whoever the backup singer sings with Britney is the only time the song sounds good. Should have just produced the backup singer and canned her.

By Brit Saidit

She said it and I will hold this against her . CRAP !

By Jock

Does anyone just sing anymore without 30 overdubs and running thru every process in the world?

P.S. I hate her baby voice now that she's not 17. The breathyness drives me crazy (no pun intended). Only Michael Jackson could pull off the "Uhn" breathe at the end of every lyric to punctuate it.

By artiedoowop

I can tell you what she and the money hounds can do with her new product but i'm too much the getlemen. Why don't she just disappear along with the Ga Gas of the world.

By Jay Blaisdell

I'm telling you, this girl's voice could fill a phone booth. With the help of an echo chamber, of course.

By Smile

The survey "Who should be Oprah's final interview"? Are there not better choices? If that is all the choices maybe she should jut do a highlights and leave it at that!

By wicked

Its ehh....but its good to see Brit back in the spotlight again.

By Chuck
