"Gimme More"
Song

"Gimme More" is a single from Britney Spears's fifth studio album (2007). Written by James Washington, Keri Hilson, Marcella Araica and Nate Hills and produced by Danja,[1][2] it is the first single from the album and was released to airwaves on August 30,[3] (See 2007 in music) and as a limited digital single on September 25, 2007. It will be released as a CD single on October 9, 2007 in Australia.

Single release

On August 30 2007, "Gimme More" premiered on New York City radio station Z100's web site,[3][4] 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.[5] The single was officially released for radio airplay in the U.K on 28 September, 2007.

The single was digitally released in the iTunes Store on September 25, 2007 and reached #1 on the United States iTunes chart two days later.

Critical reception

"Gimme More" was generally well-received by music critics. Blender Magazine gave the song four out of five stars.[6]

Chuck Taylor, Billboard writer and editor, had this to say of 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.[7]

Music video

The music video was shot in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles on July 19 and August 7 2007; it will debut the week of October 9.[8]
