"Whiplash" is an unreleased song by American recording artist Britney Spears, intended for her sixth studio album, Circus. It was produced by Greg Kurstin.
Background[]
Spears contacted Nicole Morier to write songs with her in 2008. They wrote "Mmm Papi", "Rock Me In" and "Whiplash" together. "Mmm Papi" and “Rock Me In” were included on the final tracklist of Circus, however “Whiplash” was not.
On April 11, 2011 it was reported that "Whiplash" was given to and released by Selena Gomez & the Scene for their album, When the Sun Goes Down. Spears recorded the song, however, her version has not yet been leaked.
Morier talked about Spears' version in a 2012 interview with Vertigo Shtick, stating:
- “I’ll never ever ever give [Spears' version] up. But a lot of people write me and ask me for all these kinds of things, instrumentals, stuff like that… Man, I can’t give that stuff out! So yes, there is, but don’t think it’ll see the light of day”
Morier also said:
- “Britney actually wrote [the song’s] pre-chorus with Greg and she just kind of freestyled it, like wrote it in just as fast as you can even say it. And we were astonished because I thought it was so cool, and it just kind of came out of her. The flow was really cool, in kind of a weird, twisted way”
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Oh baby, moonlights
Hits the spotlight
I'm on my flight
To take you away
[Verse 2]
I'm feeling sexy
You're makin' me crazy
That's what you do
That's what you do
Let's go now
[Pre-Chorus]
A lickety split, a girl, and a bear
And she crawls in a pit, say, "Hello, darling"
Twisted insanity, fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Well, come on, boy
[Chorus]
Come on, and take me to the other side
I'm blown away when I look into your eyes
I'm so in love I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
[Post-Chorus]
It's up to you and I don't wanna give you clues
We're moving fast, I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back, or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
[Verse 3]
Like a french kiss
With a sweet list
Of some love songs
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
And with this melody
Falling over me
It makes me weak
So damn weak
So let's go now
[Pre-Chorus]
A lickety split, a girl, and a bear
And she crawls in a pit, say, "Hello, darling"
Twisted insanity, fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Well, come on, boy
[Chorus]
Come on, and take me to the other side
I'm blown away when I look into your eyes
I'm so in love I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
[Chorus]
It's up to you and I don't wanna give you clues
We're moving fast, I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back, or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
[Interlude]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, La-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, La-la-la
So let's go now
[Chorus]
Come on, and take me to the other side
I'm blown away when I look into your eyes (Ooh)
I'm so in love I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
[Post-Chorus]
It's up to you and I don't wanna give you clues
We're moving fast, I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back, or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
[Outro]
Whiplash, whiplash, whiplash, whiplash
