Radar (song)
"Radar" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her fifth studio album, ''Blackout'' (2007). It was written and produced by Bloodshy & Avant and The Clutch, with additional writing from Henrik Jonback, as a record that did not relate to any of her personal problems at the time. The recording sessions took place the day after Spears filed for divorce from Kevin Federline, and members of The Clutch claimed to be surprised by her work ethic. "Radar" was originally planned to be released as the third single from ''Blackout'', but "Break the Ice" was chosen instead. The song was then planned as the fourth single, but the release was cancelled as Spears began recording her sixth studio album, ''Circus'' (2008). "Radar" was later included as a bonus track on ''Circus'', and released as the fourth and final single from the album on June 22, 2009 by Jive Records.
Musically, "Radar" is an electropop and synthpop song, that runs through a midtempo dance groove. Spears' vocals are auto tuned and accompanied by sonar pulses and a heavy usage of distorted synthesizers. The lyrics refer to an attraction between the protagonist and a man, while she wonders if he knows what she is feeling. "Radar" received mixed reviews from critics; some called it one of the highlights of ''Blackout'', while others felt that it was over-produced and also criticized her vocals for being processed. In July 2008, "Radar" charted in the top forty of Ireland and New Zealand, and inside the top-ten in Sweden. After it was released as a single from ''Circus'', the track performed poorly on the charts and did not manage to enter the top forty in most countries. However, it became her 21st hit on the US ''Billboards Pop Songs chart, the most for any artist of the decade.
The single's accompanying music video was directed by Dave Meyers, and pays tribute to the music video of Madonna's "Take a Bow" (1994). In the video, Spears is an aristocratic woman involved in a love triangle with two men who are polo players. The video received mixed reviews from critics, who complimented the fashion but called the idea unoriginal. "Radar" was performed by Spears at The Circus Starring Britney Spears (2009), with the accompanying dance routine featuring her pole dancing.
==Background==
The main instrumentation was recorded by Bloodshy & Avant at Bloodshy & Avant Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.〔''Blackout'' liner notes.〕 In November 2006, Spears recorded "Radar" with Ezekiel Lewis and Patrick M. Smith of The Clutch at Sony Music Studios in New York City.〔〔 Lewis had wanted to work with her for a long time and was motivated to produce something for her that was going to "help her project become a great project to come back with". Smith stated that the team tried to create a record "for the Britney Spears that we know and love" and that it did not "touch on anything that was really dealing with all the stuff that she was dealing with." Both commented that although Spears arrived late to the recording sessions, she caught them off guard with her efficiency and professionalism, with Lewis adding, "It was absolutely nuts, and she took directions very well. () I don’t know what I was expecting because we went in to cut that record the day after she filed divorce from Kevin ()." The song was later mixed by Niklas Flyckt at Mandarine Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.〔 "Radar" was originally planned to be released as the third single from ''Blackout'', according to Lewis.〔 "Break the Ice" was released instead and "Radar" was chosen as the fourth single.〔 In July 2008, a CD single was released in countries such as New Zealand and Sweden.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Britney Spears — Radar )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Britney Spears — Radar )〕 However, a wider release was scrapped when Spears began recording new material for her sixth studio album, ''Circus''.
