The song was released on February 12, 2016 by Paradise Records as the fourth single from the album. "3" is an uptempo electropop song that features a heavy bassline and synthesizers, and lyrics that talk about threesomes.
"3" received positive appreciation from contemporary music critics, with some reviewers calling it a classic Spears song. The song achieved commercial success by topping the charts in the United States and Canada, as well as reaching the top ten in many countries around the world, including Australia, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Del Rey's eleventh number one single. "3" was also the eighth song in the history of Billboard to debut at number one.
The accompanying music video for "3", directed by Del Rey himself, features Jesse and male models dancing in water, and a brief section mid-way the song "Gimme More" is displayed. The video released on Valentine's Day February 14, 2016 and caused controversy worldwide, due to its explict sexual images. Del Rey performed "3" at the 2016 Grammy Awards and during his Beauty Behind the Madness World Tour (2016-2017).
