Yesterday, Christina Aguilera revealed the official cover of her soon-to-be-released track ‘Not Myself Tonight’ and promised a surprise for her fans every day this week. The song, which was written and produced by Ester Dean and Polow Da don, will be the first single to be lifted off her upcoming ‘Bionic’ LP which hits stores later this year. So what’s today’s surprise? Check it out below:
You know tonight

While the lyrics are in no way monumental or life-changing, the song sounds like it will be geared toward the clubs. If it is anything similar to any of Polow’s recent work (see: Keri Hilson’s ‘Turnin Me On’), expect it to be an Urban up-tempo laced with thumping beats (hopefully without Aguilera’s added screeching). Let’s see what Xtina has in store for us tomorrow…

Can’t f***** wait. Too happy to really care about your shade, but if it’s not your cup of tea, go find a different cup. Excited though 😀
Okay for Ester Dean. She’s on fire right now.
Polow hasn’t had a big hit in a minute lets hope he doesn’t f*** this up.
I cant wait 4 this song!!!
Lyrics are fine. I hope its a real club banger.
Bionic should be a amazing album, she worked with Tricky, Polow Da Don, Calude Kelly, Sia, Linda Perry…
DID KE$HA WRITE THIS S***? SOUNDS FAMILIAR. DOESNT FIT HER MOMMY W/KID IMAGE SHE’S PORTRAYIN.
i could care less for the lyrics..she needs to just drop the song and keep it moving…dont keep us waitin over dumb s***.
Christina Aguilera’s new cover art looks like a cross between madonna and lady gaga.
just sayin..
So she’s bringing back durrty Xtina… kinda boring and especially since she’s all wife with kid now.. I don’t buy it.
She’s always been dirty @ Boricua. Hence: “Back 2 Basics”, hence tracks like: ‘Still Dirty.’ & i’m sure it doesn’t make a different as long as her husband & her son have a understanding of what she’s doing, & they know what true, loving, mother she is at home.
B**** IS TRYING TOO HARD TO STAY RELEVANT. SAD. GUESS SHE WILL BE WEARING HALLOWEEN COSTUMES AND BOOTY SHAKING LIKE GAGA AND FAT BEY…
Mary, Ri-Ri, now Christina . . . Ester is doing the damn thing. Make that money, girl. Love, love, love hearing about women making moves behind the scenes.
what the f***, where is the f****** originality? why is everyone making lyrics about partying? for f*** sake she has 2 f****** kids and she always looks like a 50 year old woman with all that make up, sit down if you’re not coming back strong
@All Negative Posters: Don’t judge until you hear the music.
remember @12345
the song is written by someone who is young (Ester Dean) . She’s writing from her point view and youths like to party and go clubbing. So Xtina is just trying to appeal to the youth especially if this is going to be a club banger. Smart way to pull money into her pockets.
This is the dumbest promotional campaign I’ve EVER!!!!! Yesterday, the single artwork, Today the song lyrics, What, tomorrow the instrumental of the track, Friday the Instrumental track plus back ground vocals and then maybe, just maybe Saturday we might actually get to hear the whole damn song! THIS IS B*******! F*** YOU XTINA!
Oh please Christina stop trying to keep up with Lady Gaga! What’s with the kissing boys an girls s***? Stop it you are a married woman, it is just not believable. This sounds like some s*** that should have been on the “Stripped” album. You are damn near 30, stop trying to be something that you clearly ARE NOT. Love your voice but girl please…try again
i don’t know about you guys, but i know plenty of married people who go out and party. not saying it’s right or wrong, but this whole OMG SHE’S MARRIED I DON’T BELIEVE THIS SONG bs is kinda dumb. is this 1920 or what?
i love the promo campaign and i can’t wait to finally hear how she interpreted it.
and also, without people like christina (and of course tons of others), there would be no lady gaga, so get off that dumbness as well
gaga bites hard off of madonna, roisin murphy, and even grace jones (kinda)
her “originality” is fabricated
@MRSJONES3- wtf!? u serious? Britney Spears has 2 kids singing a song like If U Seek Amy and 3, Are you f****** serious? Go on somewhere else with that hypocritical statement! madonna’s got 4 kids and got a more trashier image, What about BeYAWNce prancing around stage half naked flashing her snatch alll the time in frot of her nephew?
i could have wrote those lyrics
WTF IZ DIS TRASH?
NOW SHE TRYNNA B LIKE LADY GAGA?
O NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
SHE DONE PLUS BEY SING BETTA THEN HER ANYWAYZ!!!
*************************************************************
DAT BEYONCE RAIN JUSS WONT LET UP!!
*************************************************************
Who are these kids hatin on Christina?
Even Lady GaGa said that she respects Xtina and that she was her role model… so shut the f*** up…
I cant wait for this song!
@ BEYDABESS – Oh hell no!!! Christina sings much better than Beyonce.
oh great… sounds like another typical just dance / if u seek amy / dirrty. girl gets drunk, girl gets loose, girl hooks up with boys and girls. so proud to see “xtina” move forward and explore new lyrical territories.
As a songwriter myself, I give props to Ester Dean for writing this, as well as her current number 1 “Rude Boy.”
But I do think this song seems very generic. It seems like something so simple, and like it didn’t take much thought into writing. But hey Christina Aguilera is an artist, and she knows what shes picking through.
I’m guessing the song has a killer beat, because the lyrics don’t seem like they’ll be the star of this song. They’re prob banking on the fact that its Aguilera on a hot produced track. Cause Ester Dean isn’t well known as a songwriter NOR artist!
Can’t wait, hope its great!
@number1k9
OH AND LETS GET IT RIGHT, if you’re gonna throw shade and hate around, KATY PERRY and NOT Gaga said the whole kissing girls on a track!
…Oh yeah,
I’m really hoping Aguilera can mange to gain some more Top 10 hits, and keep them there for over a few weeks.
And I hope she can get another number 1 Hot 100 single, cause vocally she should be able to, but if the album is going to be extremely Electronic/Dance oriented, hmmm, we’ll see!
@number1k9
the f*** is this?? the song might be fire but the lyrics are dumb as hell! shes too grown and established for s*** like this SMH
I’m sorry but why do people AUTOMATICALLY have to say ‘she’s trying to be like GaGa.’ Honestly, I don’t think GaGa is that great! Yeah, she’s original. Sometimes she tries too hard. That’s my honest opinion.
Christina has been in the game LONG before GaGa, so let’s just calm down a little and see what She has in store for us.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO AT THE LYRICS. but stripped was a masterpiece and back to basics was a classic.. so im looking forward to the voice of our generation.
I cannot wait wait to hear the record and the album! I love Christina and I know it’s gonna be great! I’m kinda shocked that she’s releasing a song she didn’t write! This is her 4th album and I think she’s a great song writer. With Christina she already has her foot in the industry, she doesn’t have anything to prove because we all know she’s amazing! I think when the album’s out, and we see her inspiration for her new album, all those Lady Gaga comparison’s will fade! Christina is all about doing her own thing and being original by not following the pack! Plus she doesn’t have to use shock value or where outragous outfits to sell records. She’s a real artist with amazing vocals, not to mention in a different ball field the Lady Gaga.
Idk.. I was really hoping that Christina was going to come in with a fresh sound. I think the iamamiwhoiam videos were her’s – the music on that excites me much more than the idea of her working with Polow.
@kenny
yes you idiot, none of these married woman should be shaking, gyrating and acting like teenage whores. and if i recall britney has been divorced since about 2006 so what is your damn point?
maybe its like her stripped album…one generic ‘dirrty’ track for the clubs and then a mix of a bunch of really great quality tracks to complete the album??
The lyrics are exciting to me, actually. It sounds like she going to come back out with a “Stripped/Dirrty” type of record, something that was clearly missing from the Back 2 Basics era.
I swear, how the hell is this chick trying to be like Gaga? I still can’t grasp this. It has got to be the hair colour, because other than a shitload of peroxide, these b****** are NOTHING alike. They don’t look alike (besides their f****** hair colour), they don’t sound alike, they don’t dance alike, they don’t perform alike. I just don’t get it…
I don’t get the Lady Gaga comparisons either. Christina’s been working on this album for over 2 years and was inspired by electronic futuristic styles, long before Lady Gaga was even discovered. Gaga on the other hand was inspired by the same thing but released her album first and made her mark on the industry, so now after a few years from working on her albm the media is trying to compare her to riping off Gaga. The media is just trying to create a rivalry between them like how they did with Britney . I think her music will speak for itself, once everyone see’s what her new album is all about.
@MsJones3 or w/e your stupid name is please don’t make yourself look stupid there are plenty of other girls in the game who are near 30 and sing like this i.e. Beyonce, keri hilson, Britney etc.

For other timezones you’ll need to convert them yourself. These timezones are just a guide.
sighs, fans are always jumping on the bandwagon of whoever is popular at the time. christina looks and sounds like christina. since gaga is popular every female is trying to be like her? whatever. gaga aint nothing but a new school madonnna, which most of these girls are.
