Interesting facts and trivia about Scream & Shout. By Songfacts®.

The third single from hip-hop artist and producer will.i.am's second solo album, willpower, features an almost unrecognizable Britney Spears, whose voice is roboticized to a huge degree. The song was given its worldwide radio debut during On Air with Ryan Seacrust on November 19, 2012 and sent to Top 40/Mainstream and Rhyhmic radio on November 27th. When asked about working with will.I.am, Spears said: "I think he just really gets music in the broadest spectrum. He knows what people want to listen to. He gets kids and what they want to listen to. Every time I've worked with him I go in and I cannot sit down. I have to stand up! It's like I'm in a club!"

The song is an electronic pop dance track with lyrics about having a great time on a night out. It interpolates a sample of the iconic lyric "It's Britney bitch", which was used on Spears' 2007 single "Gimme More."

This wasn't the first song the pair of pop superstars had worked on together. Will.i.am wrote and produced the track "Big Fat Bass" for Spears' 2011 Femme Fatale album.
