"Hold it Against Me" is prime Britney, packed with aggressive electro jitters, a Euro-cheese riff that's strangely close to AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," and a weird breakdown where Brit moans, blows kisses, and snaps her gum. The first single from her upcoming seventh album, the song (co-produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke) recalls the synth-gloom ambience of Britney's 2007 gem, Blackout, possibly the most influential pop album of the last five years. The horny lyrics head toward Austin Powers/Benny Hill territory: "If I said I want your body now/ Would you hold it against me?" It isn't hard to hear a tinge of desperation in Brit's digitally processed growl, especially in the line "You feel like paradise and I need a vacation tonight." But even so, "Hold it Against Me" promises great things for her album, aside from the overall jaw-drop factor that Britney has hung in there to make a seventh album at all.
I don't understand the NMT comparisons either (and I love that song).
They're completely different.
NMT was kind of a 90's euro dance throw back (think Robin S - Show Me Love), the chorus was really loud and it was all over the place most of the time. HIAM is more carefully crafted, the influence are more trance than euro dance and the chorus is soft and unexpected.
It's true though, I said this since the demo. Anyways NMT's an underrated masterpiece, that will get the love it deserves later on.
But there's like no musical link between the two songs whatsoever, aside from the fact that you crazy kids think both songs have no chorus. I fail to see how they "sound alike".
The track, produced by massive hitmakers Dr. Luke and Max Martin, has the epic scope of some of their biggest songs from last year, such as Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” and Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite.” But the track owes the most to Ke$ha’s hit “Take It Off,” another Dr. Luke / Max Martin production from which they lifted the bass straight into this song. But by the time “Hold It Against Me” gets to its bonkers breakdown, it is clear this is be one of the best-crafted pop tracks of the year.

Yes. Someone gets it. The trance influence is all over this track.
