Song |
"3" is a song by American pop singer Britney Spears, from her second greatest hits compilation, The Singles Collection. It was released on September 29, 2009, as the lead single of the album by Jive Records. The song was produced by Max Martin and Shellback while Spears was on tour in Sweden. "3" is an uptempo dance song, that features a heavy bassline and has influences of electropop and rave. The song's lyrics talk about threesomes.
The song received positive critical appreciation from contemporary critics. "3" has also achieved commercial success by topping charts in the United States and Canada as well as reaching the top ten in many countries around the world. The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as on the Hot Digital Songs. The accompanying music video, directed by Diane Martel, features Spears and her dancers in different black and white backgrounds and received positive reviews from music critics.
Total downloads are over 1.5 million in the US alone.
Background
"3" was produced by Swedish songwriter and producer Max Martin, who worked with Spears on earlier hits including "...Baby One More Time", "Oops!...I Did It Again", "Stronger" and "If U Seek Amy". Spears recorded the song during July 2009 while she was in Stockholm during the European leg of the The Circus Starring: Britney Spears tour.[1] The song was announced as the lead single along with the release of The Singles Collection and was sent to radio stations on September 29, 2009.[2][3]
Composition
Template:Sound sample box align right
Template:Sample box end "3" is an uptempo electropop song,[4] which opens with classical Max Martin synths and vocal effects.[5] During the middle eight, the song slows down with synthetic strings and bass beats, and the section ends with a beat similar to a four-on-the-floor.[4] Throughout the song, Spears' vocals are autotuned that, according to the Daily Mail, gives the song "a futuristic, contemporary feel."[6]
The song's lyrics are about threesomes.[4] Unlike "If U Seek Amy", the song has no double entendre and it’s more straightforward lyrically. The innuendo in the lyrics such as "Merrier the more, triple fun that way" have been compared to the songs in Prince’s Dirty Mind.[7] The chorus has been compared to a playground chant and closes with an extended moan.[4] During the second part of the chorus, there is a reference to the folk group Peter, Paul & Mary,[8] that in the song is used as sexual slang for a threesome.[6] Todd Martens of the Los Angeles Times called the reference "the cut's biggest oddity".[9]
Critical response
"3" received predominantly positive reviews from music critics and universal critical acclaim. The song quickly drew comparisons to "If U Seek Amy". According to Billboard, "If U Seek Amy" was an implied double-entendre, whereas "3" "finds Spears seductively delivering her most racy lyrics to date."[3] Nick Levine of Digital Spy, the first major publication to review the song, described it as being "uptempo, quite electropoppy on the verses and a little bit ravey on the choruses."[4] Rolling Stone gave the song four stars, called it an "instant Britney classic",[10] similarly praised the song for its up-tempo melody and racy lyrics and compared it to Flo Rida's recent work, saying that it "is more of a surefire dance-floor stomper than anything Brit loaded onto Blackout or Circus".[7] Clark Collis of Entertainment Weekly called it "a fembot voice, near-seizure-inducing dance-floor frenzy."[8] While crediting the production for "elevating the song above typical dance products", the Los Angeles Times said that Spears sounded "sweetly generic".[9] Bill Lamb of About.com said that although the lyrics are controversial, "the bottom line is this is another irresistibly catchy pop confection that beats out most everything else on pop radio today". He praised the chorus and the middle section and called the track "classic Britney". The song was also compared to Madonna’s "Celebration", since they "musically present nothing particularly new, but they do manage to encapsulate many of the elements that make the singer a star."[11] Lamb would later name it the most essential pop song of its time in the week of November 20, 2009.[12]
Chart performance
On the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, "3" debuted at number one on October 24, 2009,[13] becoming Spears’ third number one single in the U.S., after "...Baby One More Time" in 1999 and "Womanizer", which topped the chart on the exact same week in 2008.[13] "3" also broke many of the chart records.[14] Spears became the first artist in over three years to debut at the top position and the only non-American Idol artist in eleven years to do so.[13] "3" is the sixteenth song in the chart history to debut at the top position and also the shortest title of a song ever reaching number one in the chart.[14] "3" became one of Spears' greatest Hot 100 hits, spending eleven consecutive weeks in the top ten. The song also charted at number one on the Billboard Digital Songs, selling 255.000 downloads in its first week and having the highest one week total of any song, since The Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" back in April 2009.[15] "3" was certified Platinum on December 12, 2009, for having sold over 1.000.000 digital downloads in the United States.[16] So far it has sold 1.300.000 digital copies.
In Canada, the song debuted at number eighty-six on the Canadian Hot 100 on October 17, 2009 and rose up to number one the following week. It is the biggest jump to the top spot in the Canadian Hot 100 history, breaking the record set by Kelly Clarkson’s "My Life Would Suck Without You", which had jumped from number eighty-two to the top position on February 7, 2009.[17]
In Australia, the song charted at number fifty on the Australian Singles Chart on October 12, 2009 with only two days of digital sales.[18] "3" then broke the record for the biggest jump in the ARIA Top 50 history, bulleting forty-three places to number seven and beating George Michael’s "Too Funky", which climbed up forty-two places in 1992.[19] "3" then peaked at number six the following week and was certified Gold for sales over 35,000 on November 23, 2009. The track spent seven weeks inside the top ten and has so far sold 61.000 copies.[20]
On October 12, 2009, the song debuted at number sixteen in New Zealand, making it her highest chart debut since "Womanizer". The song climbed up to number thirteen in its second week on the chart and peaked at number twelve on November 9, 2009.[21]
On the UK Singles Chart, "3" debuted at number seven on November 16, 2009, becoming Spears' twentieth top ten hit on the chart.[22] The track has achieved similar success throughout Europe reaching the top ten in Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Switzerland, Wallonia/Belgium, Bulgaria, Norway, France and Czech Republic as well as the top twenty in Flanders/Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Austria, Germany and Italy.[23]
Music video
The music video was filmed on October 5 and October 6, 2009 in Los Angeles, California, directed by Diane Martel and choreographed by Tone & Rich.[24] On October 15, 2009, a sneak peak of the video in images was released.[24] A countdown including images and video previews was announced on her official website and the release date was revealed to be on October 30, 2009.[25] When asked about the video, Diane Martel said,
"I think it's her next sexy video. It's a very simple video for her – I don't think you've seen her this much under a magnifying glass. Everything's really strong and playful. We collaborated on the wardrobe and had meetings about hair and makeup people, we talked a lot on the phone and met Tone and Rich — two of the best choreographers. [..] [Spears]' so sweet and funny and so normal and down to earth. It's really fun as a director to see her in front of the camera. She's so creative with this stuff. The video is very simple, it's very, very minimal. So it's her, her, her. And she's totally engaging every second. She really knows how to work with a camera and move. I was really impressed, and I have worked almost with every female artist in the business."[26]
The video begins with Spears wearing a sparkly black dress at a vanity, putting mascara and Circus Fantasy on.[27] Then, it cuts to her holding her hair up and singing the first lines in a white background. There are also black and white scenes of her wearing a white leotard behind a foggy glass.[24] She then appears wearing the leotard and glasses while surrounded by four female dancers wearing black outfits, hanging from a raised barre.[27] The word "sin" is censored and changed for the word "nis" during the pre-chorus.[28] In the chorus, she dances in front of a white wall with barcode-like light installations with six male dancers. There also scenes of her dancing provocatively with two male dancers.[24] At the bridge, there are intercut close-ups of her that end with a smirk.[27] The video concludes with Spears dancing with the two male dancers and cuts to a close-up of her looking into the camera.[27] This is the first time Spears has incorporated tutting in her dance.
Rolling Stone writer Daniel Kreps compared the video with the music video of "Single Ladies" and complimented the choreography saying Spears had not danced with so much conviction since the In the Zone era.[29] Jocelyn Vena of MTV also gave the video a positive review, stating that it's a "sexy, fast-paced clip" and that "there are a few moments in the video where Britney's personality shines" adding that "she smiles at the song's tongue-in-cheek lyrics, particularly when she finishes the song's bridge."[27] Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly complimented the video’s choice of wardrobe, but said that the video was "sparse", adding "there’s not much to the single besides trite, ridiculous advocation for a ménage à trois anyway, so why would the video go any deeper?".[28] The Daily Mail said the video "features Britney writhing around in scantily-clad outfits with male dancers in the best way she knows how".[6]
A director's cut version of the video leaked online on December 15, 2009, this version with new scenes not originally aired. Jive records has not released any information about the video, but there is demand among many fans for the video to be released on iTunes.[30]
