Not only a great "dance" song, it's a great song in-and-of itself, with slinky, funky, very Prince-like Jazzy Pha production (especially in the verses and the chorus), with a contemporary spin that blips and typanies and compresses the frizzy synth lines and interjections just enough to give space for the beat to hit and for the dancers to work their body and one, two step. Enough room for freestyle but structured and full enough for those who just want to follow along, bobbing their heads and shaking their tailfeathers.This one's even got a bridge straight from late-seventies disco/soul, with Ciara trying her best to come across like Disco Donna Summer (though she doesn't have Summer's energy and sounds more like Disco Diana Ross). Plus, you've got co-writer Missy Elliot rapping a solo in the middle, and any Mis-da-meanor addition is always arresting, this time with Ms. Elliot comparing her relative age to the finest cut of steak. Eat it quick, though, so you can get back on the floor.
