All the boys and all the girls are begging to if you seek amy!


It's now been confirmed that the third single from Britney's album Circus will be If You Seek Amy!
This was confirmed after a poll on Britney's official website on January the 7th!

Read here a couple of reviews!

Rolling Stone called the song "a saucy, swinging standout". Digital Spy said "If U Seek Amy is 50% glam, 50% rave. The title has nothing to do with a certain Miss Winehouse and makes more sense if you say it quickly... just don't do so in polite company."
Allmusic said the song is "a Katy Perry-styled exercise in crass commercial carnality that is at once the best and worst song here. Best because Max Martin once again works his undeniable pop magic, turning this into a trashy stomper that feels inevitable and eternal, working against any sense of taste or decorum, something that the lyrics work overtime to undercut as they insist that all the boys and all the girls still want to F, U...well, spell it and you'll get the picture, and if you don't, Britney's elocution will paint it for you. This sexy strut doesn't work because Britney's sexiness never was this explicit; she teased and hinted, at least in her music, and it feels wrong to have her be so nakedly vulgar here. Still, it was a necessary move, a way to stir up headlines and perhaps snatch the tabloid tiara from Katy's head." Entertainment Weekly called it "puerile" and that "it'll be a middle-school sensation." The Guardian said "If U Seek Amy is a better pun than it is a song, but there's a relish about her delivery of the chorus - "all the boys and all the girls are begging to F-U-C-K me" - that's noticeably lacking elsewhere." USA Today said "If U Seek Amy mocks onlookers' morbid fascination with the downward spiral of celebrities."

Looks all good!
This song definitely needs a saucy video!
I'm very curious!
