background
The first single from Blackout is Gimme More , a dance song that was written by Keri Hilson and others and produced by Danja. With this song Spears also appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards . The performance was classified as an embarrassing failure by many media because Spears appeared in a bikini that was not appropriate to her figure, her dance steps were imprecise and she also appeared absent and disinterested, but it was precisely because of this that it became the most noticed performance.
Despite the performance, Gimme More rose to number 1 on the iTunes charts in the USA and Canada .
Gimme More reached number 3 in the US singles chart and was by then Spears' most successful single in the US since her debut single … Baby One More Time .
