Day 21 -- A Song You Hate by an Artist You Love
"Me Against the Music" -- Britney Spears (feat. Madonna), In the Zone (2003)
Again, "hate" and "love" seem like really strong words. Let's just say this is one of my least favorite songs by one of my favorite artists. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am a fan of Britney Spears. I do not know her personally, but I like a lot of her music and I have a great amount of respect for how she rose from the ashes after a nasty public breakdown. No, she probably will never be as famous as she once was, but she has a residency going in Vegas and seems to be doing well. Good for her.
"Me Against the Music" was the first single off of Britney Spears' fourth album when she was at the height of her career. In the midst of a lot of great hits, this one always fell flat with me. Lyrically and musically it's just all over the place. It's chaotic and sort of gives me a headache. It's not even easy to dance to, which is the whole point of this alleged dance song. Both Britney (and Madonna for that matter) have released far better material.
