Womanizer
The foot-stomping, man-teasing comeback anthem that we all know and love.

Circus
A deserved title track. An audio version of Britney strutting to the front of her dance (circus) troop, and then addressing her eager audience like a spotlit master of ceremonies. Builds from Brit authoritatively telling the listener ‘how it is’ with comparatively stripped backing track, to a frenzied chorus where the throbbing layers of the song blend with ‘uh huh’s. Britney’s voice takes centre stage throughout and the whole thing is punctuated by sharp snaps of whip-like drum beats.

Out From Under
Lilting guitar and soft backing vocals woven amongst the lyrics. If you’ve heard the original version on ‘Youtube’, imagine it played on a harp in a misty forest glade. Brit’s version sounds more ethereal, and the vocal is gentle but not ‘airy’. Tear jerker.

Kill The Lights
Brit confronting a lone pap in a NY back alley/ torturing one tied to a chair in a dark and dingy car park or warehouse. Taunting, gritty and witty; you can almost picture standing in front of him, crushing the flashbulb under the heel of her leather boot as she utters ‘Pure. Satis. Faction’.
