I Wanna Go is track 4 and the third single from Britney's seventh album Femme Fatale. It was written by Shellback, Max Martin and Savan Kotecha and was produced by Shellback and Martin. The song was chosen as the third single following a fan poll on Britney's website. The single became the first in Britney's career to fail to chart in the United Kingdom. However, in the US, I Wanna Go peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 making Femme Fatale Britney's first (and to date, only) album to have three top 10 singles in the US. The song also reached top 10 in a number of other countries including Canada, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Hungary, Lebanon and Spain, peaking at number 1 in South Korea. The music video was produced by Stewart Hannah and directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, and depicts what Marrs Piliero describes as "a ridiculous, exaggerated rumor about [Britney's] life and career". The video includes references to the films Half Baked, Crossroads, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Michael Jackson's Thriller and co-stars Guillermo Diaz.The song was also used in a lipsync for your life during Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race, between Charlie Hides and eventual finalist (and future All Stars winner) Trinity Taylor.
My thoughts: Honestly a bop, and 100% the best single from the Femme Fatale album. One of her catchiest later singles, it has several hooks that make it stand out against some of the other singles from this period in her career. I'm personally quite partial to the Desi Hits Remix which features guest vocals in Hindi from singer Sonu Nigam.
@JMRGBY (4) *Violet Chachki voice* I hate I Wanna Go. It’s just derivative and by the numbers, so naturally it did really well dd I don't know if you're allowed to use a Violet Chachki voice when you also scored her a 4/10...
@boombazookajoe (9.5) Uncontro - lably - lably - lably. So stupid. Such a banger.
@blaze_dave (9) A fun and mindless pop song. The music video works so well with it, just a shame the live performances for this never work!
@Sprockrooster (10) She really found her quirky self with that music video. The video is fun but also ridiculous.
@Kaz D'Oerba (9.5) It’s such a fun song! Great to blast out of your speakers with the windows down in the summer.
@Kenny (7.5) When this one leaked, I went crazier than I did with hold it against me. It was my absolute favorite song. And then I got bored of it. This is the problem with this kind of pop, it's very of it's time so doesn't really hold up against some of her stone cold classics.
@livefrommelbs (9) Probably the best video from the era, certainly one of the biggest bangers.
@cdd216 (10) One of the most jubilant and joyous songs Britney has ever recorded. Everything about it is perfection: the unbelievaby contagious whistle chorus; her brilliant staccato/stuttered vocal delivery; Max Martin's fantastic production. This is an absolute beast of a pop song and it never fails to bring a smile to my face.
@daninternational (10) I love the whistles and the balls out basicness of it
@AstronautMikeDexter (9) Great video, great song.
@M24 (6) Probably my favorite from the FF singles, as that chorus is great pop. What drags it down a little for me is the annoying whistle in the background and the noisy production throughout. I've said it before and I'll say it again, almost everything on Femme Fatale and Britney Jean is more noisy than it is melodic.
@WhenTheSunGoesDown (10) lably. lably. la la bly bly la la bly bly. And the Academy Award for Best Original Song goes to...
@Guyhawke! (9) The stuttering chorus is not the most sophisticated in Britney’s oeuvre and it’s telling that ‘I Wanna Go’ hasn’t translated well to the live stage yet. It’s still a catchy bop and I was willing to rate it highly in deference to the brilliant video. The knowing humour (‘Crossroads 2: Cross Harder’, the inane questions at press conference) lets Britney in on the joke and makes the mindless fun of ‘I Wanna Go’ a joyful tonic rather than a grating one.
@Milotic (9.75) You'd think I'd be tired of this song by now, but I'm just... not.
@BreatheBox (5) i still jam out to this when it comes on/I come across it in the public but like i would NEVER listen to this voluntarily
@Verandi (6.5) It's… ok. The album had so much better material to offer tho.
Handing over to 11 giver @RMK to finish up:
@RMK (11) I Wanna Go is a highlight of her 10s discography and one of the many unsung heroes of her discography. It’s objectively great.

I Wanna Go is great; it got 9. But it shouldn't have been a single and it's my 12th favourite song on the album.
That's how much I love Femme Fatale.

I Wanna Go aged like milk for me. I thought it was fun upon release but I really just don't like it anymore. I'll bop politely if it comes on, but the ranking here feels absurdly high. People really think this is better than Boys, Freakshow, Don't Hang Up, Man on The Moon, Lonely, Make Me, Early Mornin'..... I could go on and on and on. It just feels extremely basic and a bit boring to me, and nowhere near top-tier Britney.
He/Him
I have always loved the backing Iiiiiiiii Wannaaaaaa Goooooooo Aaaaaaaallll the Waaaaaayyy on the last chorus! That little detail that lifts up that last rush
She/Her
This is exactly how I feel. I was a big fan of I Wanna Go ten years ago and while I don't hate it now, but I can't say I ever need to hear it again. I'd rank everything you listed well above it!

Can everyone see the gif I used for this post? It just says IMG for me but when I go to edit it it's there.
I cannot see the GIF. I just see IMG.
LEGENDARY
I see it now. But I don't want to.
Now excuse me, there are some children on my lawn.
It's not completely out of the running, it could still emerge victorious!
