Me Against the Music es una canción de la cantante estadounidense Britney Spears en colaboración con Madonna. Fue lanzado el 8 de agosto de 2003 a través de Jive Records como el sencillo líder de su cuarto álbum de estudio, In the Zone.
Antecedentes[]
La versión original de la canción era una versión en solitario con la rapera Penélope Magnet. Se grabaron varias demos de esta versión, pero las versiones oficiales no se publicaron. Se modificó por última vez para presentar el verso de Madonna y Penélope y se omitieron partes de la voz de Spears.
Vídeo musical[]
El video musical muestra a Spears y Madonna jugando con opuestos en un club nocturno. Se produce una persecución del gato y el ratón, y Spears encuentra a Madonna al final, solo para que esta última desaparezca antes de besarse. Recibió críticas mixtas a positivas de los críticos, quienes lo señalaron como un símbolo de los roles sexuales entre las mujeres. También se elogió la coreografía de Spears, aunque se cuestionó la de Madonna.
Actuaciones en vivo[]
Spears interpretó la canción en varias apariciones en vivo, incluyendo NFL Kickoff, Saturday Night Live, American Music Awards y TRL. También realizó versiones remezcladas con elementos de música bhangra en The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004) y The Circus Starring Britney Spears (2009). El video musical se recreó más tarde en la serie de televisión Glee, que incluyó una aparición de Spears.
Letra[]
[Intro: Britney Spears y Madonna]
All my people in the crowd
Grab a partner take it down
It's me against the music, uh-uh
It's just me and me
Yeah, come on
Huh, hey Britney
Are you ready? Uh-huh, are you?
Uh
[Verso 1: Britney Spears con Madonna]
And no one cares
It's whippin' my hair, it's pullin' my waist
To Hell with stares
The sweat is drippin' all over my face
And no one's there
I'm the only one dancin' up in this place
Tonight I'm here
Feel the beat of the drum, gotta keep it that bass
[Pre-Coro: Britney Spears]
I'm up against the speaker, tryna take on the music
It's like a competition, me against the beat
I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)
I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)
If you really wanna battle, saddle up and get your rhythm
Tryna hit it chic-a-tah
In a minute, I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)
I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)
Hey, hey, hey

[Post-Coro: Britney Spears y Madonna, ambas]
How would you like a friendly competition?
Let's take on the song
Let's take on the song, let's take on the song
It's you and me baby, we're the music
Time to party all night long
All night long, all night long
(Yeah, let's go)
[Verso 2: Britney Spears con Madonna]
We're almost there
I'm feelin' it bad and I can't explain
My soul is bare
My hips are movin' at a rapid pace
Can you feel it burn?
From the tip of my toes, runnin' through my veins
And now it's your turn
Let me see what you got, don't hesitate
[Pre-Coro: Britney Spears]
I'm up against the speaker, tryna take on the music
It's like a competition, me against the beat
I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)
I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)
If you really wanna battle, saddle up and get your rhythm
Tryna hit it chic-a-tah
In a minute, I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)
I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)
Hey, hey, hey
