Rolling Stone:
Britney Spears’ new single “3″ — the sole fresh song off her upcoming best-of compilation The Singles Collection — debuted this morning on New York Top 40 station Z100, and yes, the song is about having a threesome. Spears has never been shy about courting controversy, and this song will likely receive plenty of it. “3″ is yet another product from of producer Max Martin, the Swedish pop savant who also gave the world Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” and Spears’ “If U Seek Amy,” so a track about ménage à trois would be the feasible next step in his repertoire.
The music itself seems to borrow from the Flo Rida playbook, as “3″ is more of a surefire dance-floor stomper than anything Brit loaded onto Blackout or Circus. “Merrier the more, triple fun that way,” Spears sings in one of the many, many innuendo-packed lyrics that seem like they were spawned from Prince’s Dirty Mind-era brain. There’s also “Three is a charm, two is not the same. I don’t see the harm, so are you game?” and “If you don’t like the company, let’s just do it you and me. You and me… Or three… Or four…” The song also boasts the strangest Peter, Paul and Mary reference we’ve ever heard.
As Rolling Stone previously reported, The Singles Collection is due out November 24th, just in time for Black Friday. Singles will be Brit’s third greatest hits compilation in four years, following 2005’s My Prerogative and 2006’s B in the Mix: The Remixes.
Billboard:
Britney Spears is making the most of her sex symbol status, again. This morning (Sept. 29), the one-time Disney Channel child star whose personal life has at times eclipsed her musical output, premiered “3,” a new single about the pleasures of polyamory, on New York radio station Z-100. The song goes to radio everywhere today and is part of “Britney Sears The Singles Collection,” a hits compilation due Nov. 24 on Jive.
Produced by Swedish hitmaker Max Martin (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson), “3″ finds Spears singing about the racy subject of a ménage a trios with her signature coy delivery. “Three is a charm, two is not the same,” Spears coos seductively on the verse. “I don’t see the harm, so are you game?”
“Britney Spears The Singles Collection” marks 10 years since Spears released her breakthrough debut album, “…Baby One More Time,” which spent 103 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold 10,554,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Two versions of “The Singles Collection” will be released: a standard one featuring 17 of Spears’ biggest hits along with “3,” and an “ultimate fan box set” with all 29 of her singles, a DVD of her music videos, and a booklet featuring classic images.
Spears wrapped the second North American leg of her “Circus” tour on Sept. 27 in Las Vegas.

every time britney comes outwith a new song everyones like omgggaahaahahaha its perfect the best.
best song ever !!!!!!!!! it’s britney bitch !!! all britney songs are amazing !
LOVE IT!!! BRITNEY IS THE BEST QUEEN OF POP
“3″ is actually quite bold and different. Britney isn’t singing about the typical, heterosexual male fantasy of a threesome including two females and a man, rather we have Peter, Paul, and Mary. The lyrics are about a woman who loves being f***ed with two c***s at one time.
just heard the song and cant stop playing it you can bet that it will be big in the clubs possible no 1 brit your the best!!!
Yess U guys when she says Peter Paul and mary gettin down wit 3p, shes not talking about Saint Peter Saint Paul or the Most Holy Virgin!! She’s actually talking about a band named that from the 1960s yes omg this is grrrreat i was gona be kinda mad but I love the song it reminds me totally of Brave new Girl but so much better and Im just glad everything worked out and I cannot wait for the video yall!!!

OMG!! best song eva’!!!!!!
once i heard it, it’s playing in my head over and over..
The song is way too catchy. I’m lovin it. I’ve heard over 10 times and I’m still listening to it. No doubt this song will do great on the charts. I know for sure… =D
OK, so i was reading ina a britney website and here i was freakin out cause i thought that when the song mentions, Peter, paul and mary i thought it was Peter, Paul & Mary(BIBLE) but it so happens that there was a 60’s folk group called Peter, Paul & Mary. that ina way relieves me cause i hope that’s where the song is going and not towards the bible way. I only say that cause i’m a believer of my faith and i respect my faith too much. But I still love the song. I ca’t stop hearing it… =D
WHAT WE DO IS INNOCENT, JUST FOR FUN NOTHING MEANT! IF YOU DONT LIKE THE COMPANY LETS JUST DO IT YOU AND ME, YOU AND ME, OR THREE … OR FOUR … ON THE FLOOR
this song isn’t special
@ glenn-
What do you mean by “we cannot recognize her own voice?”
Is Britannica singing it? If so, then she sure fooled me.
Anyway, I love the song. I think it would be an even bigger hit if the song was “cleaner”. I don’t like the direction Max Martin takes his songs these days. They are interesting but dirty.
What I am trying to say is that if you take the song, give it a bass, put in some cleaner but flirty lyrics, the song would be a hit for months on the chart.
WOW !!!! I love the song 3 – both rythm and lyrics
I thinkt it´s going to be a huge hit
I am very curious of the upcoming video of 3
All my best to Brit !!
The video is no longer avaiable… >.<
***IMPORTANT***Some people seriously don’t know anything about special effect right ?? ?… she using just a little bit of auto-tune on her voice … THAT’S IT … but it’s all her signing without any background vocals … well her backsground vocals are her voice … that why it sound a little bit robotic because there’s two voices at the same time … Anywayz … I know a lot about that cuz I have a friend who have is own record compagny and he produced a lot of songs and we talk about it often … And remember Britney change her voice a lot when she sing … Her voice is really versatile, she’s making changes and that’s why we love her
! ! !
Her voice is definitely versatile. I agree wit WASSUP. Whatever britney did sounds real genius. But i sure likes Britney’s pure vo8ice stands out alot in this song. There’s not alot of the whole ROBO-VOICE in it. Her natural voice stands out and that’s what’s great to hear. I’m still diigin this song even after i’ve heard over 20x and couting. Now, curious to see what the video will be like…
ME TO OISCAR THE CURIOUSITY IS KILLING ME FOR THE VDEO I HOPE ITS HOT SWEAT DRIPPING DOWN WITH DIRTY DANCING LOL THAT’S MY VISION
LOL AND THE PETER PAUL AND MARY IS A REFERECEN TO THE JOLK GROUP NOT THE RELIGIOUS FIGURES I’M MUSLIM AND THATS WOULD OFFEND ME TOO BUT IT’S NOT THE RELIGIOUS GROUP ITS THE FOLK GROUP GOGLE IT AND THEY WILL COME ON ON WIKIPEDIA :0 AND ALLEGEDLY THEY ONCE HAD A THREESOME ALLEGEDY LOL DON’T KNOW IF IT’S TRUE BUT ITHINK THAT’S WHY THEY are reffered to 
LOVE YOU BRITNEY MWAZ 
OSCAR* OOOPPPS TYPO SORRY
…..im offended coz im a christian..its mary pter and paul…hope tey would change it…coz here in my country we are mostly christians…the d=song dont have that deep contnt,
Jam, the peter paul and Mary refrence isn’t about the actual Peter, Paul and Mary i undertsand what you are saying but she is reffering the the Peter, Paul and Mary they are folk group from the 1960’s google it and apparently i read somewherre they allegedly had a threesome so i think that’s why it’s in there i read about them on wikipedia

Hey WIDZ, thanx for writing my name right..LOL. Yeah, the song is referenced to PETER, PAUL & MARY. A 60’s folk group. I’m relieved in that part and if it’s true that they had a threesome, than that’s just weird. Yeah, i’m very excited for the video. I’m pretty sure theres gonna be a lot of dirty dancing 4 sure. i just hope Britney can add some really cool choreography to this song. I definitely see that happening.
No, I don’t want this to have dirty dancin’! I want this video on my iPod and I really don’t see this video being dirty…..At least, I really don’t know what it will be ablout, hopefully not TOO dirty!!!!
Well Lily, we’ll just have to wait and see what becomes of the video. I hope too, it’s not soooo dirty, but i do hope there’s hot choreo involved. Do u think Britney could add this song to her tour in November??? That’ll be awesome if she does!!!!
