(Drop Dead) Beautiful
"(Drop Dead) Beautiful" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her seventh studio album ''Femme Fatale'' (2011). It features guest vocals from American singer Sabi. The song was written by Jeremy Coleman, Joshua Coleman, Esther Dean, Mathieu Jomphe and Benjamin Levin. "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics, who deemed it as one of the best offerings of the album, despite criticizing Sabi's verses.
After trying to choose between the song, "Criminal" and "Inside Out" to be the fourth single from ''Femme Fatale'', "Criminal" was selected, although Sabi revealed she pictured a music video for "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" in a similar style to the performance of 2011's Femme Fatale Tour. The performance consists of Spears singing and dancing to the song while her dancers are carrying picture frames. Sabi performed the song with Spears in selected cities. Despite not being released as a single, "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" managed to peak at number forty-one on South Korea's Gaon International Chart, due to digital sales separate from ''Femme Fatale'', and also appeared on ''Billboard''s Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.
==Background==
Spears spoke to ''V'' about the sessions for ''Femme Fatale'', commenting that she had been recording the album for two years. During the recording sessions, the singer contacted songwriter Ester Dean in 2009, after receiving a demo of the song "Drop It Low", which Spears wanted to record. The song, however, was later released as Dean's debut single.〔 Spears then recorded two songs co-written by Dean for ''Femme Fatale''.〔 "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" was written by Dean, Jeremy Coleman, Joshua Coleman, Mathieu Jomphe, and Benjamin Levin, while being produced by Blanco, Ammo, JMIKE, and Billboard.〔 It features American recording artist Sabi. Spears first heard about Sabi after listening to songs from The Bangz, an old music group the latter participated. Sabi explained that, after she was asked to collaborate with Spears, she felt it was so surreal that she refused to believe her luck until the song was recorded.
Although both singers worked with producer Benny Blanco in studio on "(Drop Dead) Beautiful", Spears recorded her vocals for the song before Sabi, who actually raps on the track. The latter also revealed she felt lucky and honored because Spears does not do features often, while commenting that "it's just pretty crazy, I mean, I grew up watching Britney Spears. All my friends watched Britney Spears and we even had a routine to (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/...Baby One More Time (song)" TITLE="...Baby One More Time (song)">...Baby One More Time' ) that we were gonna perform, like, for a middle-school talent show. So it's a dream come true. Never did I ever think that I'd be in the mix with Britney. I'm just lucky."〔 When asked about how she learned about Sabi in an interview with ''Rolling Stone'', Spears revealed, "friends and people around me are always showing me new artists that they love and that's how I learned about Sabi and ended up working with her on '(Drop Dead) Beautiful'. I have always wanted to feature a new artist on one of my albums and she is really cool."〔 A small teaser of the song was unveiled by the singer on March 7, 2011. Four days later, it leaked in full online, along with another ''Femme Fatale'' track, "Inside Out".〔 On August 5, 2011, Spears posted a poll on her Facebook page asking fans whether her next single should be "Criminal", "Inside Out" or "(Drop Dead) Beautiful." After the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, she revealed to MTV News that "Criminal" was chosen as the fourth single.
