The song
The Avant- and Bloodshy-produced "Toxic" boasts both Bollywood strings and slick production, with wrting credits from Cathy Dennis and others. The video accompanying the song is arguably Spears' most provocative, as it featured the singer rolling around with nothing but diamonds on her while seducing multiple men all the way through. The song is about being addicted to a guy's kiss which Spears simply describes as being "toxic".
Chart success
A huge worldwide success, "Toxic" also became Spears' biggest US hit since "...Baby One More Time", and her first top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 since 2000's "Oops!... I Did It Again". The song went to #1 on both the Hot Dance Music/Club Play and Top 40 Mainstream charts. Through the aid of a large amount of digital downloads, the single eventually received a platinum certification.
Internationally, the song went to #1 in all other major music markets: the UK, Canada and Australia.
