"Gimme More" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears from her fifth studio album, Blackout. It was released on September 24, 2007 by Jive Records as the lead single of the album. The song was written by Jim Beanz, Marcella "Ms. Lago" Araica, Nate "Danja" Hills and Keri Hilson. "Gimme More" was recorded in 2006 during Spears's second pregnancy, and was one of the first solo productions by Danja. The song opens with an intro in which Spears says the phrase "It's Britney, bitch". It features racy lyrics, that although they appear to be about dance and sex, are a reference to the media's fascination with Spears's private life. Musically, "Gimme More" is an uptempo dance-pop song with breathy vocals and influences from other genres, such as electro and funk. The track closes with a speak-sing outro by Danja.
"Gimme More" received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the music but dismissed Spears's vocals. The song peaked at number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming her fifth top ten hit and also her second highest-peaking single at the time. It also peaked at the top of the charts in Canada and reached top five positions in fourteen countries. The accompanying music video premiered on October 5, 2007. It displayed Spears as a stripper and featured a break from Spears's highly choreographed music videos. It received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who panned Spears's pole dancing as well as the lack of storyline. An alternate cut was leaked on July 18, 2011.

Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears began performing as a child, landing acting roles in stage productions and television shows. She signed with Jive Records in 1997 and released her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999, which became the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. During her first decade in the music industry, she became a prominent figure in mainstream popular music and popular culture, followed by a much-publicized personal life. Her first two albums established her as a pop icon and broke sales records, while title tracks "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again" became international number-one hits. Spears was credited with influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s, and became the 'best-selling teen aged artist of all time' before she turned 20, garnering her the honorific title of "Princess of Pop".
Twenty four seven and a three sixty five
I am in full effect and I ain't taking no jive
I got the masterplan cause I'm desaster man
And I live by the "gets" not by the "gives" cause I can't
Damn, you can't give you always take, take, take
Take and break and that is wrong wait
Wrong for God's sake, too much, wake up
You got it going on
Too long for you, for me to take and just stake...
Kindness, friendship, all the people offer?
All the understandings you would say but I want more
More, more, more but what is more on your score?
If you get a whole lot but everything is a bore
Cause what you get is not at all
All you thought it'd be
Dissapointed my man, hell - well 1-2-3
Now quit it kid and try the "gives" not the "gets"
But I want this I want that, gimme more I'm upset
I just can't take you no more
Chorus:
Gimme more, gimme more, - ah gimme more -
What are you waiting for, just gimme, gimme more
So you want this and that hey what's your best bet
Well I don't know for sure, but I sure need it fast
Guess I just need a grip on your private notions
Hell, that is none of your biz and that's a shitty motion
What you don't care don't need no understanding
Just demanding, just demanding
Your life and love's don't give me if's and but
Cause if I give I lose, I can't afford no cuts
But I'm not yours, no, not at all
You can't just take me out
I ain't no shopping mall
I gotta -
Get in return a bit from me to learn?
What? What I'm all about, no that is my turn
Earn and get as much as I can
But what's it good for if then you don't get a friend?
Guess you're too fucked up in the head
So you just ignore
That you got none and want more
But all you know is gimme more
I just can't take you no more...
Chorus
