Alien (Britney Spears song)
"Alien" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears for her eighth studio album ''Britney Jean'' (2013). It was written and produced by William Orbit and Anthony Preston, with additional songwriting provided by Spears, Dan Traynor, and Ana Diaz. "Alien" is a mid-tempo dance-pop song, which lyrically discusses Spears' feelings of loneliness. "Alien" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who appreciated its production and recognized it as being among the more personal offerings from the record. The track peaked at number 8 on the U.S Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and debuted at 147 on the French Singles Chart despite not being a single from Britney Jean. The track has been performed during Spears' ongoing residency show Britney: Piece of Me.
==Background==
After serving as a judge on the second season of the American version of ''The X Factor'', Spears began work on her eighth studio album in December 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Britney Spears begins work on eighth studio album - Music News )〕 In May 2013, record producer William Orbit was announced to be working on the project. Upon the announcement of her record in September, titled ''Britney Jean'', Spears described her collaboration with Orbit, titled "Alien", as "really cool" and "really great". Early reports speculated that the song would feature American recording artist Lady Gaga, as suggested by a tweet posted to Twitter by executive producer will.i.am, although such a collaboration never came to fruition.
On November 18, preceding the release date of ''Britney Jean'' on December 3, a demo version of the track was leaked online; Orbit commented that it was the "right song (the ) wrong chorus notes", which had been corrected on the final production. On December 22, Spears announced through her E! documentary special ''I Am Britney Jean'' that "Alien" would likely be released as a single from ''Britney Jean'' in 2014.
In July 2014, audio leaked of Spears singing the song without pitch correction. James Lachno of ''The Daily Telegraph'' noted that Spears struggles to project her voice and reach the song's high notes. Critics described Spears' vocal performance in the leaked track as "flat at best and, at worst, like a strangled cat",〔 "noticeably off-key", "unpolished () unflattering", "diabolical", "a style that might kindly be described as tentative",〔 and "toxic to the ears". CNN defended the track, saying that its quality is irrelevant as Spears is not known for her vocal ability. Orbit claimed that the audio was a vocal warm up, not expected to be a take, and not intended to be heard by the public, adding, "Whomever put this on the internet must have done so in a spirit of unkindness, but it can in no way detract from the fact that Britney is and always will be beyond stellar! She is magnificent! And that’s that."〔
