Break the Ice
Spears releases her single, Break the Ice, from her album, Blackout. One of the songwriters, Keri Hilson, tells about the single:
It’s about two people, a girl and a guy,and the girl is saying, ‘You’re a little cold. Let me warm things up and break the ice.’ Here, Spears’ breathy vocals are layered, so that she’s singing, ‘Hot hot hot — ahh,’ on top of the chorus, and stopping the song à la Janet Jackson to say, ‘I like this part. It feels kind of good.’
