Britney Spears is making her comeback — again. First step: release a catchy single. And so, on Friday Britney’s song “Womanizer” finally hit airwaves, four days after its scheduled release and a week after a snippet was leaked.
The song is an upbeat if slightly repetitive electropop number lasting about 3:40. It comes off Spears’ album “Circus,” which is set to be released on her 27th birthday on Dec. 2. The song was produced by The Outsyders, a group based in Atlanta.
It has lyrics that include: “You say I’m crazy/ I got your crazy/You’re nothing but a womanizer” In the song’s chorus, Britney sings, “Boy, don’t try to front/I-I know just-just what you are/Womanizer, you’re a womanizer, baby.”
It remains to be seen what Britney’s fans think of the song, but it’s definitely catchy. In a snap judgment, the Los Angeles Times music blog Soundboard reached the conclusion that “Britney is back. She actually seems to be awake this time.”
Last year in late August, Britney released a song, “Gimme More,” which was also billed as a “comeback” tunes after months of Britney finding herself making headlines for erratic behavior. At that time, she was embroiled in a bitter custody battle over her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
She sang “Gimme More” at the MTV Video Music Awards in September ‘07, but was panned by fans and critics. By January of this year, she found herself in a Los Angeles-area hospital under psychiatric evaluation.
But since February, after her father and lawyers took control of her affairs, Britney has seemed to be on the mend. In fact, at this year’s MTV VMAs, Britney won three awards for her song, “Piece of Me.”
So one wonders: could this “comeback” be the real deal.

- Posted by christianYou’ve got to be kidding. I heard the song on the radio yesterday and had to change the station. Talk about lame. It’s one word sung on one note, over and over. The verse wasn’t bad but if I heard the word “womanizer” one more time… Awful.

- Posted by LeonOmFgosh this is one of britney’s best, everyone wanted a piece of radar, and ooh ooh baby from blackout, well this song showcases both those tracks, plus a lil bit of toxic… this is a definate hit. At first I was a bit skeptical of the song, I was like, there could have been a “better” comeback single, but after listening to it after about the 2nd or 3rd time, it sunk in, pretty quickly. I love it so much, i must have played it 500 times today lol britney’s music is so addicting and i just love it! I cannot wait for the video. This is sure to be a number 1. I also cannot wait for the performance that I have anticipated so long to see from britney. I know it will rock! Go Britney, you are a true legend. Nothing can keep you down.
