So there has been a lot of hoopla surrounding my favorite celebrity. Yes, you all know I am going to give Ms. Spears another spot in The Popular Opinion.
Britney Spear’s widely successful sixth album (also her fifth number-one album) Circus has already had two platinum hit singles, and is now on to number three. But the princess of pop and queen of controversy has made her mark again. The third single, If You Seek Amy has found itself being just like its famed singer, under the microscope.
Australian parents were the first to go into an uproar, reading into the following quite closely:
“Oh baby, baby if you seek Amy tonight.”
Have you figured it out?
Full of sex, raunch, the beautiful temptress Britney Spears (playing both a sex god and Stepford housewife) and a stab at the media’s melodramatic attempt at bringing Spears’s song down, If You Seek Amy is filled with every innuendo that the title implies. Spears sings of a girl Amy who she can’t find and is searching for her, but is in fear of altercation with her. The chorus, similar to Blackout‘s (Spear’s fifth album) Piece of Me, jolts at everyone’s obsession with Spears – “Love me, hate me, say what you want about me…all the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy.” But this is the part that Australian, and now American, parents are gunning for.
Have you gotten it yet? If you are still having issues break it down using the way I wrote the song title in the headline. The capital letters represent something; see can be read as the letter C.
Check the steamy-hot video out, as it is only done in a way Britney could do: If You Seek Amy
I’m slightly biased, but I am pretty sure that this is one of her better songs, and the video isn’t too bad either. Complete with controversy and raising hell on the minds of parents and youth alike, Britney has done it again. I can only imagine what she will come up with next.

Unfortunately, she did not really come up with anything next…. except for a new song now with Backstreet Boys (I guess we will see how that does now in 2021). Just as fast as pop music started becoming more fun and creative again starting around 2006 – 2009, it started to go downhill again 2015 – 2019, and now here we are in 2021 with the overall mundane, predictable, boring sound of American top 40. Britney has a better chance targeting the UK market.
