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

Stay with me, people.
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.

But actually.
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.
