## Vídeo

**Me Against the Music** es una canción de la cantante estadounidense Britney Spears en colaboración con Madonna. Fue lanzado el 8 de agosto de 2003 a través de Jive Records como el sencillo líder de su cuarto álbum de estudio, In the Zone.

## Antecedentes

La versión original de la canción era una versión en solitario con la rapera Penélope Magnet. Se grabaron varias demos de esta versión, pero las versiones oficiales no se publicaron. Se modificó por última vez para presentar el verso de Madonna y Penélope y se omitieron partes de la voz de Spears.

## Vídeo musical

El video musical muestra a Spears y Madonna jugando con opuestos en un club nocturno. Se produce una persecución del gato y el ratón, y Spears encuentra a Madonna al final, solo para que esta última desaparezca antes de besarse. Recibió críticas mixtas a positivas de los críticos, quienes lo señalaron como un símbolo de los roles sexuales entre las mujeres. También se elogió la coreografía de Spears, aunque se cuestionó la de Madonna.

## Actuaciones en vivo

Spears interpretó la canción en varias apariciones en vivo, incluyendo NFL Kickoff, Saturday Night Live, American Music Awards y TRL. También realizó versiones remezcladas con elementos de música bhangra en The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004) y The Circus Starring Britney Spears (2009). El video musical se recreó más tarde en la serie de televisión Glee, que incluyó una aparición de Spears.

## Letra

**[Intro: Britney Spears y *Madonna*]**

All my people in the crowd

Grab a partner take it down

It's me against the music, *uh-uh*

It's just me *and me*

Yeah, *come on*

Huh, *hey Britney*

Are you ready? *Uh-huh, are you?*

Uh

**[Verso 1: Britney Spears *con Madonna*]**

*And no one cares*

It's whippin' my hair, it's pullin' my waist

*To Hell with stares*

The sweat is drippin' all over my face

*And no one's there*

I'm the only one dancin' up in this place

*Tonight I'm here*

Feel the beat of the drum, gotta keep it that bass

**[Pre-Coro: Britney Spears]**

I'm up against the speaker, tryna take on the music

It's like a competition, me against the beat

I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)

I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)

If you really wanna battle, saddle up and get your rhythm

Tryna hit it chic-a-tah

In a minute, I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)

I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)

Hey, hey, hey

**Time to party all night long**

All night long, *all night long*

(Yeah, let's go)

**[Verso 2: Britney Spears *con Madonna*]**

*We're almost there*

I'm feelin' it bad and I can't explain

*My soul is bare*

My hips are movin' at a rapid pace

*Can you feel it burn?*

From the tip of my toes, runnin' through my veins

*And now it's your turn*

Let me see what you got, don't hesitate

**[Pre-Coro: Britney Spears]**

I'm up against the speaker, tryna take on the music

It's like a competition, me against the beat

I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)

I wanna get in the zone (I wanna get in the zone)

If you really wanna battle, saddle up and get your rhythm

Tryna hit it chic-a-tah

In a minute, I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)

I'ma take you on (I'ma take you on)

Hey, hey, hey
