Perfume (Britney Spears song)
"Perfume" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her eighth studio album, ''Britney Jean'' (2013). It was written by Spears, Sia Furler and Christopher Braide, while the song was produced by will.i.am and co-produced by Keith Harris and Braide. The song was released as the second and final single from the album on November 4, 2013 by RCA Records. "Perfume" is a synthpop power ballad, which is influenced by music of the 1980s. Lyrically, the song is built around themes of jealousy and suspicion in a relationship. Spears revealed that the song was about her split with her ex-fiancé, Jason Trawick, in early 2013.
A musical departure from its EDM-influenced predecessor, "Work Bitch", the song was met with acclaim from music critics, who noted her "surprisingly strong" vocals, and compared them to those of Gwen Stefani. Worldwide, the song performed weakly in official charts, peaking at number 76 in the United States and within the top 70 in Australia, Canada and Ireland. The music video for "Perfume" was directed by Joseph Kahn and released in December 2013. Spears' love interest in the video leaves her for another woman, while Spears is left devastated. Kahn mentioned that there is an unreleased director's cut version of the video, where Spears role in the video is actually an assassin hired to kill her boyfriend. Spears included the song on her current residency concert Britney: Piece of Me (2013–15). The song has nearly sold 303,460 copies in the United States.
== Background and release ==
In July 2013, Spears revealed through Twitter that she "wrote such a special song" with Australian singer-songwriter Sia Furler, which was later revealed to be Spears' favorite track on ''Britney Jean'', the ballad "Perfume". In October 2013, it was announced that the song would serve as the second single for the album, after the release of lead single "Work Bitch" in September. RCA Records' CEO Peter Edge said he felt "fairly strong" that the song would be the second single after hearing it, and that it could be "a big career song".〔 He continued to praise Spears' vocals, commenting that "she sings it beautifully and it has a real sincerity to it. And it's outstanding -- I think people are not only gonna be surprised but also see another side of Britney." Spears' manager Larry Rudolph described "Perfume" as being "a breakup song that's about wanting the next girl to smell your perfume on the guy afterwards. The lyric() () really unique and she sings the shit out of it."
On November 1, 2013, Spears tweeted that she would reveal previews of "Perfume" through her Snapchat account. Along with the lyrics "I want to believe / It's just you and me / Sometimes it feels like there's three of us in here, baby / So I wait for you to call and I try to act natural / Have you been thinking 'bout her or 'bout me / And while I wait, I put on my perfume / Yeah I want it all over you", the singer also shared the artwork for the single. The song was originally scheduled for release on November 5, 2013, along with the pre-order of ''Britney Jean''.〔 However, Spears made the song available for streaming via Facebook two days earlier on November 3, 2013 instead. It was then made available for purchase at midnight on November 4, 2013; one day ahead of the scheduled date. Following the release of "Perfume", she thanked her fans for "loving the song as she did". Record producer Dr. Luke revealed that the single release of the song is a "radio-friendly" edit, while the "rawer" and "less produced" original version would be included as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of ''Britney Jean''.
