Britney Spears

Britney Spears recently premiered her brand new single, "Ooh La La" from the Smurfs 2 soundtrack.

With "Ooh La La" sounding a bit different than the usual Britney, the singer describes the song to Ryan Seacrest as, "definitely straight-up pop ... it has a young feel to it ... but the the main reason why I did it was because my boys. They're obsessed with the Smurfs. We've seen The Smurfs movie a million trillion times and they were told they could be in the video and all this cool stuff, so that's the reason why I did it."

"Ooh La La" was written by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, Bonnie McKee, Fransisca Hall, Henry "Cirkut" Walter, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Joshua "Ammo" Coleman and Lola Blanc.

"Ooh La La" is synthpop song. Writing for E! Online, Alexis L. Loinaz cited the song as being "vintage Britney", with an "oddly folksy pop-tart twist".Melinda Newman of HitFix labelled the song as a "sweet, slight, little love song" that is about "loving someone for their true blue self". It begins as a "pure pop" song mixed with electronica. The song then transitions seeing Spears "speak-singing, Kesha style", over an electroclash beat. This is followed by an acoustic-guitar-driven section, which, according to Newman, is a "fluffy, retro pop" similar to Madonna in the early 1980s.
