"Gimme More"
Song

"Gimme More" is a song written by James Washington, Keri Hilson, Marcella Araica and Nate Hills for Britney Spears's fifth studio album, Blackout. (See 2007 in music). Produced by Danja,[1][2] it is the first single from the album and Spears's highest peaking single in the United States since "...Baby One More Time", having reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100.[3]

Single release

On August 30 2007, "Gimme More" premiered on New York City radio station Z100's web site,[4][5] followed by premieres in other major markets such as KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, 97.1 ZHT in Salt Lake City and Hot 99.5 in Washington, D.C.[6] Later on September 28 2007, the song was officially released for radio airplay in the United Kingdom.

On September 25 2007, the song was digitally released in Australia and North America.

The song was released as a CD single in Australia on October 6, 2007. It will be released in Ireland on the October 19 2007, and on the same format in the UK on October 22 2007, and on the rest of the European countries on October 29, 2007.

Critical reception

"Gimme More" was generally well-received by music critics. Blender Magazine complimented the song for being an "unsettling disco dazzler," rating it four out of five stars.[7]

Chuck Taylor, Billboard writer and editor, also positively approved the song:

The uptempo dance track is a cutesy if redundant jam in which the title is repeated no fewer than three dozen times in four minutes. Instantly most added at top 40, Spears is destined for a lofty chart debut.[8]

Music video

Directed by first time director Jake Sarfaty [9], the video was shot in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles on July 19 and August 7 2007.[10]

The music video had its world premiere in the U.S. iTunes Store on Friday, October 5, 2007.

The video premiered on television on MuchMusic on October 7, 2007, it was rotating on VH1 on October 8, 2007 and was posted on MTV's official blog [11] several hours before the previously announced Total Request Live's exclusive world premiere. The video has since risen to #6 on the countdown.[12]

The video starts with a blonde-haired Spears and friends sitting at a bar in a strip club when a brunette Spears wearing a hat starts walking towards the pole. She starts to dance on the pole, then takes off her hat and dances harder and sexier while a man watches her. The blonde Spears and her friends are happy and seem interested in the man. After Spears becomes surrounded by other female dancers, she removes her vest and uses it to cover her chest while she continues to dance on the pole. In an unrated version of the video on Music Choice, Britney becomes topless, covering her breasts with her hand and having a shirt in another, after half the video finishes. The video ends with the blonde Spears and her friends looking at the man and being joyful.
