This is the first time Britney releases a ballad as a second single
I hope it pays well because it's kinda risky for her. Her last successful ballad was Everytime in 2004
" There’s a ballad called “Perfume” that she recorded recently. Britney wrote it with Sia. It’s a breakup song that’s about wanting the next girl to smell your perfume on the guy afterwards. The lyric is really unique and she sings the **** out of it. I think everyone will be really impressed by the song. I don’t know if it will be the second or third single, but it will definitely be a single."
"There’s a song we feel fairly strong will be the second single called “Perfume.” It was written by Sia and could be a big career song. It’s more of a downtempo song, but people are amazed at the quality of her vocals on it. She sings it beautifully and it has a real sincerity to it. And it’s outstanding -- I think people are not only gonna be surprised but also see another side of Britney"
