SMS (Bangerz) is a song that appears as track 3 on Miley Cyrus' album 'Bangerz' released in September 2013. Britney features as a guest vocalist on the second verse of the song, which was written by Miley along with Sean Garrett, Marquel "Marz" Middlebrooks and Michael "Mike Will Made-It" Williams, being produced by the latter 2. It is widely regarded to have used a sample of "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa but the writers of that song don't appear in the credited writers for the song.
My thoughts: I struggled with how to score this song for a long time. In the realms of Britney's discography this wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my list of faves HOWEVER I can't deny that I really like the song, it is in fact a banger and makes me want to strut my stuff. I love Britney's delivery of her voice, she sounds really cool on it. I'm honestly surprised this didn't receive a single release and video treatment, it could've been a bit of a moment.
@BreatheBox (8) yassss
@WhenTheSunGoesDown (2) A racket
@boombazookajoe (10) I can't really see this doing that well in this rate so I feel no shame giving this absolute BANGER(z) a 10. It's a monster.
Isn't it though???
@blaze_dave (8) I like the sample of Salt n Peppa used, really works well on this fun track. Both sound good on, even if Britney only has a verse and would have liked more.
@Rantaro (3) Not even Britney can save this absolute trainwreck.
@unnameable (3.5) utterly dull until Britney appears
@daninternational (6) She sounds good, but Britney is above this
@AstronautMikeDexter (7) The song is fine, nothing special, but Britney’s portion is great.
@M24 (0) This was an ok song for the Miley rate, and even if I bop to it, Britney has better material. Her verse is the best part of the song though.
@BeingNormal (3) A SNL parody song
@Guyhawke! (2) Eh. Britney’s contribution is a kind gesture knowing what a huge stan Miley is, but what a waste to put her on such an anaemic song. The energy Miley gave dancing in the audience of Britney’s Vegas show is what we needed here.
@Milotic (8) I apparently know all the words? Ddd.
Me too!
@lilylu (3) Miley was trying to run away from her Disney past but she ended up coming off more immature. This song is trying too hard. Britney's verse is the best part, but the song just sucks.
@RMK (8.5) No one knows what her lyrics actually mean, but it’s fine.
