Britney Spears tampaknya tanggap akan trend. Dan itulah yang mungkin membuat ia masih mampu memegang eksistensinya sebagai princess of pop, selain tentunya tetap berkarya.
Iggy Azalea sendiri merupakan nama panas di skena musik dunia. Rapper asal Australia ini memang tengah menjulang namanya berkat album dan single suksesnya. Tidak heran jika kemudian ia menarik minat artis lain untuk bekerjasama, termasuk juga Spears.
Setelah digaungkan dengan cukup intens, akhinya kolaborasi antara Spears dan Azalea, yang berjudul 'Pretty Girls', akhirnya bisa kita simak juga. Dan senang Britney kembali ke gaya urban, ketimbang EDM yang akhir-akhir ini sering ia bawakan. Tentu saja dengan hadirnya Azalea lagunya juga bercorak hip-hop dan memberi penekanan yang kuat pada konsep urban tadi.
Agak mengingatkan 'Fancy'-nya Azalea, tapi single ini ditulis oleh Little Mix bersama The Invisible Men, Maegan Cottone dan tentunya Azalea dan The Invisible Men juga bertugas sebagai produser, sebenarnya cukup berbeda dengan 'Fancy' yang sebenarnya jauh lebh edgy ketimbang single ini.
Dengan kerap menghadirkan nuansa bubbly, 'Pretty Girls' adalah contoh yang baik bagaimana dua gaya yang berbedaa dipadukan dan menjadi satu kesatuan yang pas. Saat Spears menyanyikan verse dalam tutur pop yang kental, Azalea pun menyambangi dengan rap-nya yang khas. Azalea memilih untuk menemani Spears tidak hanya sebagai featuring artist, namun juga ia menghadirkan rap yang lebih "genit" sebagaimana lagu dan juga nyanyian Spears yang santai dan terkesan manja. Inilah yang membuat kolaborasi mereka terasa kompak.
Jadi jangan takut. Hangatnya musim panas akan terasa segar saat dinikmati bersama kolaborasi Spears dan Azalea dalam 'Pretty Girls'. A catchy song that will make you sing-a-long and move your body.
LYRIC
All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise (It's Iggy-Iggs!)
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
(Where you at, Brit?)
We're just so pretty!
[Verse 1: Britney Spears]
Hey, don't you know that it's always the same?
From Australia 'round to LA
You can betcha', wherever the girls go, boys follow
We be keeping them up on their toes
They can laugh, but they don't get the jokes
Just you watch, they're so predictable
(Some things don't change...)
[Pre-Chorus]
(The girls roll up)
Windows roll down
(Eyes on us)
Jaws on the ground
(Watch them go)
It's just so funny
(Like bees to the honey!)
[Chorus]
All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty!
[Verse 2: Britney Spears]
Tell me, is it true that these men are from Mars?
Is that why they be acting bizarre?
Every time I walk out of my house it's like, "Hey, baby!"
They don't see me rolling my eyes
They buzzing around me like flies
They got one thing on their minds
(Some things don't change...)
[Pre-Chorus]
(The girls roll up)
Windows roll down
(Eyes on us)
Jaws on the ground
(Watch them go)
It's just so funny
(Like bees to the honey!)
[Chorus]
All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty!
[Iggy Azalea]
If you ask me, I'm killing them softly
I would spend time with you but that'd cost me
They pray that Iggy-Iggy give 'em one more chance
But busy Iggy wouldn't even give 'em one more glance
See, enter in line between the beauty and a beast
Slim waist, thick cake, the whole world want a piece
Bad girl, good (ooh) would make you lose your mind
All of the boys begging Britney, hit 'em one more time
Iggs
What's up Britney?
[Chorus]
All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty!
