Background/Charts
"I'm a Slave 4 U" is an R&B song by American pop singer Britney Spears from her third studio album, Britney. It was released on September 24, 2001 as the first single of the album. Produced and written by The Neptunes, the song had a core urban vibe, and was a commercial success and was also well-received by critics, who agreed that the song was a step towards to a more mature sound for Spears.A review from NME magazine stated that "the song is funk the way God intended —hypnotic, insistent, mysterious, suggestive— and if Prince was a nineteen-year-old former Disney Club host and virgin, he'd be proud to create such a record". Other reviews from Rolling Stone magazine and Allmusic agreed that "Slave" was a step towards a more mature sound. "I'm a Slave 4 U" achieved commercial success, peaking inside the top-ten in almost every country that it charted on. However, the song peaked at number twenty-seven in Hot 100 and at number eighty-five in Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, both being the lowest chart positions of the single worldwide. Spears performed the song on every tour since its release, including the promotional The M+M's Tour. A music video for the single, which was directed by Francis Lawrence, was released along with the single released. It features Spears dancing in a sauna, and it was recreated by television series Glee. Spears' performance of the song at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City was highly criticized by animal rights group PETA for the inclusion of exotic animals.
