"If U Seek Amy" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears. It served as the fourth single from her sixth full length studio album, Circus. It was released on March 10, 2009, by Jive Records.

Background[]

The song was written by Max Martin, who also wrote some of Spears' biggest hits ("...Baby One More Time", "Oops!... I Did It Again"). It caused controversy due to the "If U Seek Amy" part is interpreted as "F-U-C-K Me", resulting in the song beimg renamed for radio as "If U See Amy" and the physical single getting a Parental Advisory warning in some shops.

Trivia[]

When Spears opens the door in the music video and walks out with two kids, one of them is wearing the …Baby One More Time outfit.

Some fans speculate that the song was originally written for Blackout because of the same writers (exc. Shellback) who worked on Hips N Lips and other songs for the previous album (also the hidden F-U-C-K Me) but this was never confirmed by anyone.

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la

[Verse 1]
Oh, baby baby, have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom, is she smoking up outside? (Oh!)
Oh, baby baby, does she take a piece of lime for the drink that I'ma buy her?
Do you know just what she likes? (Oh!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Tell me, have you seen her? 'Cause I'm so, oh
I can't get her off of my brain
I just wanna go to the party she gon' go
Can somebody take me home?
Ha-ha-he-he-ha-ha-ho

[Chorus]
Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, if you seek Amy
Love me, hate me
But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, if you seek Amy

[Interlude]
(Love me, hate me)
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la

[Verse 2]
Amy told me that she's gonna meet me up
I don't know where or when, and now they're closing up the club (Oh!)
I've seen her once or twice before, she knows my face
But it's hard to see with all the people standing in the way (Oh!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Tell me, have you seen her? 'Cause I'm so, oh
I can't get her off of my brain
I just wanna go to the party she gon' go
Can somebody take me home?
Ha-ha-he-he-ha-ha-ho

[Chorus]
Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, if you seek Amy
Love me, hate me
But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, if you seek Amy

[Post-Chorus]
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
Oh, but can't you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
('Bout me, 'bout me)

[Bridge]
So tell me if you see her
(Let me know what she was wearing, and what she was like)
'Cause I've been waiting here forever
(Let me know where she was going, I don't mind)
Oh, baby baby, if you seek Amy tonight (Oh!)
Oh, baby baby, we'll do whatever you like
Oh baby, baby, baby
Oh baby, baby, baby

[Interlude]
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la

[Chorus]
Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, if you seek Amy
Love me, hate me
But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, if you seek Amy
Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me (Yeah, yeah)
Love me, hate me
But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy

[Post-Chorus]
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
Oh, but can't you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
All of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy
