It definitely sounds like one of the songs of all time!

It sounds essentially like another S&S, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just a mindless fun bop. The "mind your business, B*tch" line luckily sounds much better here than it did in the clip from before.

Fun? Exactly what it’s intended to be? I would take this sound over many other tracks released in recent years with similar intentions (I’m looking at you Bebe Rexha). You guys need to stop over thinking it. This isn’t going to be some well calculated strategy to smash on the charts or please the fans. This is sounding like a fun bop with the express purpose of telling the public (and her fans?) to mind your business. Let your expectations go and just enjoy it, or don’t, but don’t let it make you miserable because it’s not what you want it to be.

It’s definitely not making me miserable, but it is awful.

For all the shit some people had to say about 'Hold Me Closer', that is high art next to... whatever the fuck that was. I would be amazed if this can do even half of what she and Elton did, but if there is any hope of a full-on Britney comeback on her own this is going to be at best a major setback and at worst the cause of Britney never having chart success again.
This was. NOT. IT.

You can easily tell which fans veer more on the generally delusional side by whoever defends this lol.
Just horrible. It also doesn’t even sound like her… very AI and computer generated. It’s odd that Will.I.am even thought this was ok to release but I guess he just wants to attach himself to any possible attention/success.

Has anyone actually heard the full song yet?
It’s hilarious to me that all of these fans were clamoring for her freedom, but somehow did not expect exactly this type of output resulting from it. The concept of this is so on brand for Britney and anyone pretending otherwise is just trying to make her something that she’s not. Do I hope the quality is more on par with Blackout than Scream & Shout? Sure. But let’s not pretend like I or anyone else is delusional if we choose to enjoy it for what it is regardless. And for the record, Scream and Shout was a HIT.

They should have just put it on Britney Jean so we wouldn't have to deal with it 10 years later. While I'm still going to stream the hell out of it and I hope it goes viral somewhere for whatever reason, but this is by far her worst single. It Should Be Easy and Big Fat Bass sound heavenly compared to this.

LBR, this song was always going to be trash. A will.i.am BJ reject in 2023? Like come on. And the timing feels off as well. Mind your business bitch... but buy my memoir! LMAO
I was really hoping it would be ridiculous, fun trash but it's not. The pre-chorus is mind-bogglingly bad (wuhshidoo, I cannot). And then the chorus is deadeningly flat. It's an attitude track with no attitude.
The only positive thing I can say is the potential for virality is there, so I can actually see this doing something.

I suspect going viral on Tik-Tok is part of the strategy. I am literally the worst judge of what makes that happen or doesn’t. I will say this sounds just as asinine (in a positive way!) as many others that I have seen go viral. Imagine if Britney could connect with a new generation of listeners at this point in her career. That would be something to talk about, just not sure of it’s actual potential. As I said earlier, it at the very least, rings genuine from her.

I'm sorry. Music is subjective, but this is objective trash. How someone could produce and record this and be happy with it I'll never know

How the hell can you sit here and say if someone was supportive of her freedom then they have to like this song and not have any complaints/disappointment? LMAO. Like what even. I think someone could’ve been very supportive of her personal life, but expected a comeback song to be of higher caliber and quality. One does not go against the other. “Enjoying it for what it is” is also essentially just saying you think of this as weak also but you feel some type of burden as a fan to not like it. Some of y’all are too old to still be in that whole delusional fan phase but alas.

Where did I say there should be no complaints or disappointment? My intention was to communicate that the expectation of output from an independent Britney should have been very much on par with this type of song, at least from my perspective. Obviously people are free to dislike or like, just as she is now free to make it or not. And make it she did. So yes, I will enjoy it for what it is, new Britney output in 2023.

You still don’t really make any sense. How on Earth is this what we should’ve *expected* her to release post-freedom? The lyrical subject is on par with her personal life and what she vents about on social media the past years yes. However that’s not what people have an issue with. The issue with this song is the abhorrent Siri vocals, the cheap production, will.I.am being the producer and co-collaborator, and the overall amateur delivery. Releasing a Britney Jean scrap is *not* what we would’ve expected from Britney post-freedom especially when the Britney Jean music was during the most controlled point in her life where she had the least artistic freedom/contribution.

Do you follow her instagram? This is so her. Everything about it. She clearly loves working with Will (I think she’s quoted as saying BFB is her favorite on FF plus she’s worked with him twice since). Sorry I’m not making sense to you but I am speaking English. It sounds like we just disagree. That’s fine. Let’s leave it at that.

Tbf we shouldn't count Britney Jean as her working with Will for obvious reasons lmao (Myah Marie snapped on Work Bitch tho). Anyways even if this ends up being trash I'd still love to see it somehow get a fair bit of chart damage.

Lmao I just listened to it on Twitter too and I don't hate it? It is about as dated as you'd expect, the production very limp, and Britney is poorly mixed.
With some polish it'd be in cute playlist filler for 2 weeks max, I guess we can call it camp lmao.

Honestly, this fanbase is never going to like anything she puts out again, so I've stopped caring what they think. Many people had a huge problem with HMC too when that was great (the constant "she's not even on it!" was exhausting)
This is just another harmless bop, in vein with Pretty Girls and Scream & Shout. As someone who hated the snippet, I think this is fun? It's not meant to be taken so seriously. The "mind your B" stuff is catchy, and it's just a harmless Will.i.am production? People having meltdowns over it being the worst song ever are doing the most.
Also at this point, anything Britney puts out ever again is going to be conspiracy theoried to death with 'it's AI!!! it's myah!!!' too. It's clearly Britney, you can hear it especially in the 'london/hollywood' portion and her cadence there.

This is kind of catchy? I've seen some dance videos with the "Mind your b" part of the chorus. Maybe the song will go viral on tiktok or something?
