	The uptempo dance track is a cutesy if redundant jam in which the title is repeated no fewer than three dozen times in four minutes. Instantly most added at top 40, Spears is destined for a lofty chart debut.
—Chuck Taylor, Billboard[25]

The song's lyrics, however, attracted polarized reviews from contemporary critics. Chuck Taylor, Billboard writer and editor, wrote positively about the song. Fox News dubbed the opening line (It's Britney Bitch) as "sounding cocky and fun".^[26] However, Pat Hipp of Prefix Magazine wrote that "its breathy start ruins the song".^[27] MTV's Jennifer Vineyard was equally unimpressed by Spears' spoken introduction, calling it "either absent or inaudible".^[28] Kelefa Sanneh said that "[Spears] delivers almost nothing but slithery come-ons and defiant invitations to nightclub decadence."^[2] Mike Schiller of Popmatters defied negative reviews; he called the opening's exclamation's "real value…kind of hilarious", but that the insertion of redundant "more"s in the chorus degrade the song. He emphasized that "it only add to the feel that this is a genetically engineered sort of dancefloor banger, rather than the sexy come-on of a song that it’s trying to be."^[29] The opening line and Spears' use of giggles were described as "reminiscent of a young Madonna" by MSN.^[9] Image File history File links Cquote1. ...

Directed by first time director Jake Sarfaty,^[36] the music video was shot in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles on July 19 and August 7, 2007. Sarfaty was handpicked by Spears, and the video was shot in two days. The production "was purely Spears' 'concept and her vision'".^[36] It is a stripper-inspired video^[11] to fit the song's racy content.^[36] The video's light systems change from black and white with aura-like blue and pink hues to full blown color.^[36] The camera's position always moves out-of-beat, giving the video a "raw and edgy look".^[36] Spears features a tattoo on her biceps and dresses in all black.

The video puts Spears in two roles: as a brunette pole-dancing in a stripper's pole, and a blonde version sitting at the bar with friends seemingly watching the strip tease while gazing at a mysterious man.^[36] Around the middle of the video, the brunette Spears takes off her top and uses it to cover her breasts; she continues to pole-dance, flipping her hair and occasionally dancing in a mirror.
