Another perfect pop song , the second best pop song ever after baby one more time for me , the second chorus is amazing.

"Criminal"

I remember when I heard that song in 2010/2011 the first time and I just thought: Damn, that's a great production!!! And after a long time this was the first Britney song I really liked! Then I actually didn't care about producers that much but as I found out it is produced by Max & Shellback I was like: OF COURSE it's a great production! Haha :)
Alongside "Hold It Against Me" my favorite song on Femme Fatale! Unfortunately the song wasn't released as a single so it didn't become a success.

Oh, you're right! But not in Germany. At least people weren't interested in this song here :(

Sadly I don't think anyone worldwide was that interested... it didn't chart very well at all. I love this song, and I also would've believed if someone had told me it was written/produced by any other random team. But like you B, once I knew it was Max and Shellback, it seemed to be obvious because it was sooo good. That minor scale melody in the chorus is genius, like something from another culture altogether, and the flute really made it even more so. When I heard it was going to be the fourth single, there was news of it being a remixed version from an upcoming remix album. I was preparing myself for a terrible dance mix that would kill the feel of the original, but luckily it was just a few enhancements to the album version. If only they had released it as the third single, it may have performed better, but dance floor anthems are the go as per usual. To have it go mostly unheard of in the charts was a huge disappointment, it should have been a hit. Having said that, I was even MORE disappointed that "Inside Out" wasn't a single as originally planned, to me that was pure gold waiting to go straight to number one. But "Criminal" was a good alternative and it should have done well. They even put a bit of effort into the video. It's too good to just become another forgotten album track.

It charted in many other counties as well but not that good. Except from Brasil where it was even #1 !
