Britney Spears's long-awaited comeback single, "Gimme More," has finally arrived.
The club-friendly dance track officially premiered Thursday night on New York radio station Z-100's Web site.
The song's official debut came just minutes after versions of it were leaked to at least two other Web sites, Perezhilton and TMZ. Another b-side called "Cold As Fire" was leaked, too.
The song features the pop star's signature breathy vocals, melodic electronic bleeps over a driving beat and a catchy hook that's is true to the song's title. Spears opens the sexy and sassy tune by defiantly saying, "It's Britney, b---", and producer Nate ''Danjahandz'' Hills ends it in a shout out, saying, "Bet you didn't see this coming."

Blender Magazine Review:
WHO: Britney Spears
WHAT: "Gimme More"
WHY: At the end of Britney Spears' new single, producer Danjahandz (Justin Timberlake, Katharine McPhee) says, "Bet you didn't see this coming." He's right. Even if it's an obvious "SexyBack" retread (all the way down to the distorted vocals), the unsettling disco dazzler "Gimme More" is about as good a track as we could expect from a woman whose life has turned into a lurid, express line farce. Britney's breathy lyrics take on her tabloid stalkers in a way that's somewhere between completely self-aware, invincible and, dare we say, kinda artful. "They want more, well, I'll give them more," she says, standing up to a billion flash bulbs with a genuine potential smash hit behind her. She's not just bitching about the paparazzi — she's begging them for more with a smirk and some cocaine funk. Reverse psychology par excellence or a star admitting to her own dark, attention-craving desires? Either way, it's more intriguing than it should be. "It's Britney, bitch," she says at the top of the track.
Welcome back, bitch.

Will.I.Am : "Gimme More is DOPE!"
The Black Eyed Pea gives MTV News his verdict on Britney Spears’ brand new track….
Britney Spears new single Gimme More leaked to the internet this morning and MTV News wanted to get some expert opinion.
Who better to give his verdict than Black Eyed Peas mainman and producer for Nas, The Game, Common and Pussycat Dolls- Will I Am.
When we gave him a pair of headphones for his first listen he gave it a thumbs up saying:
“It’s Dope!.”
If Will said so it must be true.

Ayumi is sort of the Japanese Britney and I'm sure Britney loves her back!
