Criminal by Britney Spears: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Criminal" by Britney Spears is a track from her 2011 album "Femme Fatale." The song was co-written by Max Martin, who is known for his hit-making prowess in the music industry. Despite receiving critical acclaim, "Criminal" failed to make a significant impact on the charts. However, the edgy and provocative nature of the song, along with Spears' captivating performance in the music video, solidified its place as a fan favorite in her discography. Overall, "Criminal" showcases Spears' ability to blend pop sensibilities with a darker, more mature sound.
