3. "Inside Out"
Easily a natural pick for "Femme's" third single, the oh-so-saucy "Inside Out" begins demurely enough, with Spears singing over a grinding beat about "sittin' in the mirror gettin' pretty." But things take a seriously scandalous turn when her perhaps soon-to-be-ex shows up at the door. Next thing we know, Spears is crying out "So come on! Won't you give me something to remember? Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out." Whoah! Did it get hot in here, or is it just us? Spears even goes as far to (intentionally?) reference two of her earlier hits in "Inside's" chorus: "...hit me one more time, it's so amazing.../...you're the only one who drove me crazy..." (riffing on "...Baby One More Time" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy"). Finally, with a beat reminiscent of Ginuwine's "Pony," we await the inevitable mash-up of the two singles.
8. "Big Fat Bass" featuring will.i.am
After seven nearly-sterling tracks, "Femme Fatale" hits a slight bump in the road with this will.i.am-produced thumper. The sparse tune clocks in at a too-long 4:45 minutes and is "Femme's" lengthiest track. Like the Black Eyed Peas' "The Time (Dirty Bit)," also produced by will.i.am, "Big Fat Bass" comes across as a pastiche of interesting moments and sounds instead of a fully realized song. That said, we can completely hear this track blasting in a club, with Spears cooing "I can be your treble" while the crowd screams back "you can be my bass!"
