If U Seek Amy

"If U Seek Amy" (edited for radio as "If U See Amy") is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her sixth studio album, Circus (2008). It was released on March 10, 2009 by Jive Records as the third single of the album, and was chosen by a poll on Spears's official website. "If U Seek Amy" was written and produced by Swedish producer Max Martin, who also wrote previous hits for her first three albums and marked as Spears's comeback song to Martin since 2001. In the song, Spears is looking for a woman named Amy in a club, and although it appears to be about sex, it is actually about how society perceives her life. Musically, "If U Seek Amy" is a dance-pop song with electropop influences and the use of instruments such as synthesizers and timpani.
