I'm a Slave 4 U
"I'm a Slave 4 U" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her third studio album, ''Britney'' (2001). It was written and produced by Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams (known collectively as The Neptunes). The song was released on September 24, 2001, by Jive Records, as the lead single of ''Britney''. The urban song, has a similar soundscape to Vanity 6's 1982's song "Nasty Girl", while its lyrics talks about being a slave to the music.
"I'm a Slave 4 U" garnered mixed reception from music critics. Some critics argued it was the singer's most mature sound at the time compared to her previous singles, while other noticed the song's attempt to leave behind Spears' girl next door image and said her vocals were unnatural. "I'm a Slave 4 U" achieved commercial success, peaking inside the top-ten in almost every country that it charted on. However, the song peaked at number 27 in Hot 100 and at number 85 in ''Billboard'' Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, both being the lowest chart positions of the single worldwide.
A music video for the single, which was directed by Francis Lawrence, was released along with the single released. It features Spears dancing in a sauna. Spears' performance of the song at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City was highly criticized by animal rights group PETA for the inclusion of exotic animals. Spears performed the song on every tour since its release, including the promotional The M+M's Tour. The song was also featured on the 2002 compilation album ''Now That's What I Call Music! 9''.
==Background and composition==
"I'm a Slave 4 U" was written and produced by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, best known as The Neptunes, who also collaborated with Spears on another album track, "Boys",〔 for her third and self-titled LP, ''Britney''. "I'm A Slave 4 U" was originally intended for Janet Jackson for her ''All for You'' album. Spears' single "Boys" was also intended for Janet, who recorded an unreleased demo of the song before it was recorded by Spears. "I'm a Slave 4 U" was recorded by Andrew Cleman at Master Sound Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia and by Brian Garten at Right Track Studios in New York City, being later mixed by Serban Ghenea in New York City. Audio engineering was done by Ryan Smith and Tim Roberts. After reading the lyrics for the first time, Spears stated it talks "about me just wanting to go out and forget who I am and dance and have a good time. That's kinda where I am now right now. I love working, but at the same time, I love having a good time."〔Dingwall, John. "OTR.. Off the Record: Your Time Is Up, Jacko; Britney Wants Album Top Slot". ''Daily Record''. Scotland, United Kingdom. 19 p.〕 The urban song is backed with breathy and moaning vocals and scratching. The soundscape of the song has been noted to be similar to Vanity 6's 1982's song "Nasty Girl."
