Sippin' On is an unreleased song by Britney Spears, intended for her fourth album In the Zone. It was produced by Tricky Stewart. Another version featuring rapper AC was considered for her fifth album Blackout.
Background[]
Original version[]
It was originally to be included on the In the Zone DVD bonus disc and digital EP, under the title "Tell Me What You're Sippin' On". It leaked in September 2011.
The song is a midtempo R&B track produced by Tricky Stewart and co-written by Spears. Critics noted influence from Janet Jackson on the song.
The song's co-writer Penelope Magnet said, "Sippin On was inspired by sitting out by the beach sipping on something tropical. It was really a pimpette record. We wanted to create a midtempo club record."[1]
Blackout version feat. AC[]
Spears later considered including a new version featuring vocals from rapper AC on her fifth album Blackout.
It leaked from a demo CD in September 2007. It was praised for its "sexiness", which was thought to “help Britney regain her old self.”[2]
Both versions end with Spears doing a Soul Clap, which is clapping quickly on every eighth note of a beat to a hip-hop or R&B song.[3]
Lyrics[]
Original version[]
[Tricky Stewart:]
Yeah
Another hot one baby
It goes down, yeah
Yo Britney
Where you at baby
Talk to me, come on
He was kinda like a summer fling
Hot and heavy through the April rain
May and June he was after me
By July it was getting hypnotic
So he kinda started being my babe
I don't really wanna say his name
All I know is I liked his drink
All my girls say 'ooh' if you feel me
I saw you there
I can't get you out my sight, boy
Better go and get another drink
'Cause you ain't getting none of mine, no
(Right to the left to the break of dawn and
It don't stop 'til the early mornin')
Oooh...
Tell me what you're sippin' on
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
(Right to the left to the break of dawn and
It don't stop 'til the early mornin')
Oooh...
Tell me what you're sippin' on
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
What I feel is more than a crush
Then again, it's not quite love
Just enough to fill my cup
Whatever you do just keep it flowin'
So tell me how you like it babe
On the rocks or straight up, babe
Oh boy don't be afraid
I'm right here and I'm gon' show ya
I saw you there
I can't get you out of my mind, boy
Better go and get another drink
All my girls say 'ooh, ooh, ooh'

It don't stop 'til the early mornin')
Oooh...
Tell me what you're sippin' on
Baby, baby, baby, yeah

So we should hook up, who knows where we will go
'Cause baby when I'm with you, I
I feel I'm losing control
Oh boy you hit the spot
Sweet baby please don't stop
Do you like my lemon drop?
Just taste it baby (Yeah, yeah)
You make me feel so hot
Summertime love is all we got
Here we are let's take a shot

(This is AC, yeah)
All the tabloids tell me how you is a handful
Toxic, try to make you an example
But me? I'm just tryna have your shoes in the airport
'Cause all the stress got me losing my hair, too
Let's release, get live on the track
Got my baby in the whip, she can ride on my lap
Put that one finger up mami, guzzle some more
Tell them the only issues you got is the covers you on, uh
One more drink, make the summer the bomb
Order a shot, bartender gave one on her arm, and
All you rappers better recognize the best
'Cause AC 'bout to blow like a breathalyzer test, yes
