“I Wanna Go” will be the third single from Britney Spears” current album “Femme Fatale.” The tune, which features Spears” singing (autotuned as it may be), is produced by Shellback, Savan Kotecha and Max Martin. Chris Marrs Piliero will direct the video.
The song, which is also distinguished by Spears” playful stuttering and its peppy whistling along the lines of Peter, Bjorn & John”s “Young Folks,” is about gratification, both self (wink, wink) and at the hands of others.
It follows “Hold It Against Me,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, and “Till the World Ends,” which got a rebirth through a remix featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha, ultimately peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The tune is also No. 1 on Billboard”s Dance Club Songs.
Spears” Femme Fatale kicks off June 16 in Sacramento with guests Minaj, Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nervo.
