The song was originally offered to Katy Perry, but Luke and Martin felt that it did not suit her.
"Hold It Against Me" was Spears's second consecutive single to debut at number one, making her the second artist in history, after Mariah Carey, to achieve that.
"Hold It Against Me" is a song performed by American singer Britney Spears for her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale (2011).
The song was written and produced by Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Billboard, with additional writing by Bonnie McKee.
"Hold It Against Me" blends pulsating industrial and dance beats with elements of trance.
