Hold it against me
Who is speaking? - Britney Spears, celebrity
Who would listen to this song? - young people
Characteristics
The language is informal. There are a lot of repetitions. In the chorus, ”If, If, If”. The beat in the song implies that it is a happy song, it has a faster beat than sad songs usually have. But the text has another message. It is the story of a celebrity who is not able to escape the expectations from the sorrounding environment. This make her unable to have one night stands, because it would harm her image.
The keywords in the song is: Heart, escape and strong.
The message in the song is that due to her status as a celebrity, she has no privacy. She is never alone, and always has to live up to the expectations from the surroundings.
Relation to surveillance and selfpromotion:
She is under constant surveillance by the media, and her selfpromotion does that she cannot afford to include him in her selfpromotion, because it would cause a lot of commotion in the media, and perhaps, if the relationship does not last, harm her image.
it looks good to me. and i think they have coverd it all nicely so thumbs up from here :D!
