Overview Edit

"Gimme More" is a song by American pop singer Britney Spears. The song was recorded for her fifth album, Blackout. The song was written during Spears' second pregnancy. Its lyrics feature racy content, backed with breathy vocals and an up-tempo beat.

Announced as the lead single from the album, "Gimme More" was first released in Australia on October 6, 2007. It performed well, reaching the top ten on many international charts. "Gimme More" topped Billboard's Canadian chart, and reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Spears' third highest-peaking single in the United States, behind both her 1999 debut, "...Baby One More Time" and her 2008 song "Womanizer," both of which went to number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked at number three in Australia and the United Kingdom. In Australia and the US, the single was certified platinum.

The single garnered mostly positive reviews, primarily because of its club-natured melody and spoken intro. The single's accompanying stripper-inspired music video also received media attention, with Spears' pole dancing being panned by critics. On the other hand, the video was considered an improvement on her highly criticized 2007 MTV Video Music Awards opening performance.

5 stars Great song to work out to!
I've lost 15 lbs. listening to this fun, addictive song, seriously! It's great when you're jogging, it's very sexy, and playful, you definitely should check it out if you need some good workout songs.

Also I wish I'd stop reading reviews bashing Britney as a person, when you go to McDonalds do you obsess over the way these people spend their personal lives? Does it make a difference whether you're going to consume the product or not? I didn't think so, her personal life is seperate from her care…

3 stars a huge remix package that totally disappoints
I was totally psyched when I saw that the label was actually going to release a significant remix package for Brit's first single with full-length mixes (it was never a common thing for her remixes to be easy to get on CD even when she was hugely popular).

But here, most of the tracks slow down the vibe of the song and don't deliver the electro vibe this song could have delivered.

2. Kaskade mix (danceable, but it actually lightens up the attitude of the song, making it lighter with bright syn…
