About Outrageous

"Outrageous" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003). It was written and produced by R. Kelly, with vocal production provided by Trixster and Penelope Magnet. The song was released on July 20, 2004, by Jive Records, as the fourth and final single from In the Zone. "Outrageous" was the record label's choice for first and second single, but Spears pushed for "Me Against the Music" and "Toxic" respectively, to be released instead. It was finally announced as a single after it was selected as the theme song for the 2004 film Catwoman. "Outrageous" is an R&B song with influences of hip hop and an exotic feel. Lyrically, it talks about materialism and entertainment. "Outrageous" received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised its funky sound, while others deemed it as "forgettable". "Outrageous" only charted in Japan and in the United States, entering many of Billboard's component charts and peaking at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100. Spears only performed the song once, on 2004's The Onyx Hotel Tour. The music video was being shot in New York City in June 2004, when Spears hurt her knee and had to undergo arthroscopic surgery. The video was canceled, as well as The Onyx Hotel Tour and the feature in the Catwoman soundtrack. A composite of different scenes was released in the DVD Greatest Hits: My Prerogative.

Outrageous, when I move my body
Outrageous, when I'm at a party
Outrageous, in my sexy jeans
Outrageous, when I'm on the scene
Outrageous, my sex drive
Outrageous, my shopping spree
Outrageous, we on a world tour
Outrageous, let's be it girl

Outrageous

Sexy as I want to be
Got these fellas chasing me
It's 'bout time I hit the streets
All my girls still feelin' me

B-girl ain't lost the beat
Jumped over drama and I landed on my feet
Gotta keep going, no stopping me
And if you don't like it then

La la la la la la la

Media over here
Come through like a world premiere
Trench coat and my underwear
Let's go with this freak show, it's

Outrageous, when I move my body
Outrageous, when I'm at a party
Outrageous, in my sexy jeans
Outrageous, when I'm on the scene
Outrageous, my sex drive
Outrageous, my shopping spree
Outrageous, we on a world tour
Outrageous, let's be it girl

Outrageous

Ding ding ding
Ding ding ding ding ding

I'm about to bring the heat
Locking down the industry
All dressed up and glamorous
Red carpet and cameras

Take trips around the globe
Rims on my Jeep, so nobody knows
So hot that you're coming out your clothes
I'm about to give it to ya

Media over here
Come through like a world premiere
Trench coat and my underwear
Let's go with this freak show, it's

Outrageous, when I move my body
Outrageous, when I'm at a party
Outrageous, in my sexy jeans
Outrageous, when I'm on the scene
Outrageous, my sex drive
Outrageous, my shopping spree
Outrageous, we on a world tour
Outrageous, let's be it girl

Outrageous

I just want to be happy
In a place where love is free
Can you take me there somebody?
Oh, and when you mention my name
Make sure you know the truth
Until I'm about to keep it forever

Outrageous, when I move my body
Outrageous, when I'm at a party
Outrageous, in my sexy jeans
Outrageous, when I'm on the scene
Outrageous, my sex drive
Outrageous, my shopping spree
Outrageous, we on a world tour
Outrageous, let's be it girl

Outrageous, when I move my body
Outrageous, when I'm at a party
Outrageous, in my sexy jeans
Outrageous, when I'm on the scene
Outrageous, my sex drive
Outrageous, my shopping spree
Outrageous, we on a world tour
Outrageous, let's be it girl
