Your Body
Lotus (2012)
*Highest placed track from Lotus*
Another Max Martin track up next, which at the time I thought was a bit of a sell-out step for her, but I guess she needed a Pop hit and it ended up being a great collaboration. Of course, the original version was "fuck your body", so at least lyrically she stayed true to her dirrty ho roots. The backing track is a big beefy affair packed with synths and electro beats. Somehow the FOGHORN voice works really well here and all the "SAY!" and "AY BOY!" moments are essential, not to mention "I THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW MY NAME!" She looks so good in the video and looks like she's having so much fun (murdering men). "The lyrics express Aguilera's desire to have sex with an anonymous partner" - thanks, Wikipedia! It peaked at #34 in the US and #16 in the UK - not great for a lead single - and the album also underperformed for her, poor cow. It was shit, though.
Highlight: The WAIL at 3:36 and an amazing run at 3:50.
