And no, I’m not talking about actual perfume. I’m talking about the single.

Moving on, it’s been a couple of weeks since Britney Spears took over our radios with her infectious smash hit “Work B*tch”. However, as of today, Britney Spears recently unveiled her new single “Perfume” (you can read more about Britney’s feelings about the song here) and it is serving to be an interesting contrast to her former single.

Whereas “Work B*tch” sported a highly aggressive dance beat and exceedingly commanding (yet inspiring) lyrics, “Perfume” takes it down a few notches. “Perfume” not only features extremely deep and very calming piano chords accompanying Britney’s sweet voice, but the lyrics to the song are also surprisingly raw, especially if one is comparing the song to “Work B*tch”. I for one think it creates an interesting juxtaposition and I’m really excited to her more songs from her upcoming album.

Anyways, you can listen to the song below (which was released courtesy of Britney’s Facebook page yesterday) and view the lyrics also (courtesy of Mirror):

Lyrics:

Do I imagine it, or do I see your stare

Is there still longing there?

Oh I hate myself, and I feel crazy

Such a classic tale

Current girl friend, ex girlfriend, I’m trying to be cool

Am I being paranoid, am I seeing things?

Am I just insecure?

 

I want to believe

It’s just you and me

Sometimes it feels like there’s three

of us in here baby

 

CHORUS

 So I, wait for you to call

And I try to act natural

have you been thinking ’bout her or about me

And while I wait I put on my perfume, yeah I want it all over you

I gotta mark my territory

 

I’ll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume

I’ll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells your perfume

I hide it well, hope you can’t tell but I hope she smells my perfume

I hide it well, hope you can’t tell but I hope she smells my perfume

 

I wanna fill the room, when she’s in it with you

Please don’t forget me

Do I imagine it, or catch these moments

I know you got history

 

But I’m your girlfriend, now I’m your girlfriend trying to be cool

I hope I’m paranoid, that I’m just seeing things

That I’m just insecure

 

I want to believe

It’s just you and me

Sometimes it feels like there’s three

of us in here baby

 

CHORUS

So I, wait for you to call

And I try to act natural

have you been thinking ’bout her or about me

And while I wait I put on my perfume, yeah I want it all over you

I gotta mark my territory

 

I’ll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume

I’ll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells your perfume

I hide it well, hope you can’t tell but I hope she smells my perfume

I hide it well, hope you can’t tell but I hope she smells my perfume

Other than that, look for Britney’s new album, Britney Jean to drop into stores December 3, 2013.
