It was released on August 31, 2007, by [[Jive Records]], as the [[lead single]] from Spears' fifth studio album, ''[[Blackout (Britney Spears album)|Blackout]]'' (2007). "Gimme More" was recorded in 2006 during Spears' second pregnancy and was one of the first solo productions by Danja. The song opens with an intro in which Spears utters the phrase "It's Britney, bitch". Musically, "Gimme More" is a [[dance-pop]], [[electropop]] and [[Electronic dance music|EDM]]-[[pop music|pop]] song with breathy vocals. The track closes with a speak-sing [[Conclusion (music)|outro]] by Danja. The song received critical acclaim and peaked at number three on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], becoming her second highest-peaking single at the time. It also peaked at the top of the charts in Canada, also charting with top-five positions in 14 countries. The accompanying music video premiered on October 5, 2007. It displayed Spears as a [[stripper]] and featured a break from Spears's highly choreographed music videos. The video received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who panned Spears's [[pole dancing]] as well as the lack of storyline. An alternate cut was leaked on July 18, 2011. Spears first performed "Gimme More" at the [[2007 MTV Video Music Awards]] on September 9, 2007, wearing a black, jewel-encrusted bikini. The performance was panned by many critics, who commented extensively on her "singing", dancing and wardrobe, with one deeming it as "one of the worst to grace the MTV Awards". On September 10, 2007, [[Cara Cunningham]] uploaded a video on [[YouTube]] in response to the criticism titled "[[Leave Britney Alone!]]", which made her an [[Internet celebrity]] and attracted attention from the media. Spears has also performed "Gimme More" at the [[Femme Fatale Tour]] (2011) and [[Britney: Piece of Me]] (2013). "Gimme More" has been covered and sampled by many artists, including [[Miley Cyrus]], [[Sia (musician)|Sia]], and [[Marié Digby]]. == Background == "Gimme More" was co-written by [[Jim Beanz]], [[Marcella "Ms. Lago" Araica]], [[Danja (musician)|Nate "Danja" Hills]] and [[Keri Hilson]], while being produced by Danja.<ref name=liner>''[[Blackout (Britney Spears album)|Blackout]]'' liner notes.
