One of the lesser-discussed tracks on the album, yet holding the essence of the entire project, is the fiery and self-explanatory song “Gasoline,” which was created by Claude Kelly. According to Kelly, he wrote this track while channeling the sexiest moments of Britney’s career.

In an interview with MTV, Kelly revealed that when he was composing the song, he aimed to capture the same theme found in some of Britney’s past hits like “Toxic,” “Slave 4 U,” and “Boys.” He believed that the concept of Britney in a physically enticing club surrounded by men was a popular theme and thought it would be a lot of fun to revisit it. Despite some skeptics doubting Britney’s ability to recreate the “man-eater” persona she was known for in her provocative songs, Kelly expressed that she effortlessly embodied it, proving that she still possesses the necessary charisma to do whatever she desires.

Kelly has previously collaborated with the “Oops I Did It Again” singer, with their work on the title track for her last album “Circus” being a highlight of his career. In “Femme Fatale,” he aimed to take it up a notch and believes that’s exactly what Team Britney has accomplished. The track he prepared for her was recorded in a Los Angeles studio while Kelly was occupied with other projects.

Reflecting on their collaboration, the songwriter mentioned that Britney expressed her desire for the record to sound and look edgy again, which made him ponder on how he could deliver that element she was demanding from him. He delved into her darker albums like “Blackout,” combining its mysteriousness with her magnetic presence, resulting in “Gasoline.”

He described the track as a blend of sexiness, dark themes, a hint of the mysterious vibe from “Blackout,” and a touch of playful flavor in the background. Kelly believes that through this song, he has been able to project Britney’s current emotions.

One thing he assured is that the party will continue as long as “Femme Fatale” is playing, and he believes that “Gasoline” will be a favorite among fans. It’s widely known that Britney loves to dance, and Kelly thinks that the album was created to unleash the feel-good element and the dance girl hidden inside Britney.
