JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Lagu "If U Seek Amy" dari Britney Spears sempat menjadi kontroversi di negara-negara yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa ibu.
Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh liriknya yang dianggap bersifat eufemisme atau menghaluskan makna kata yang dianggap tabu.
Beberapa kritikus musik menanggapi bahwa seharusnya pendengar lebih mengerti tentang tema-tema yang diangkat oleh sang penyanyi.
Lagu ini dirilis pada 2008 sebagai salah satu singel dari album studio keenam Britney Spears, Circus.
