About (Drop Dead) Beautiful

"(Drop Dead) Beautiful" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her seventh studio album Femme Fatale (2011). It features guest vocals from American singer Sabi. The song was written by Jeremy Coleman, Joshua Coleman, Esther Dean, Mathieu Jomphe and Benjamin Levin. "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics, who deemed it as one of the best offerings of the album, despite criticizing Sabi's verses. After trying to choose between the song, "Criminal" and "Inside Out" to be the fourth single from Femme Fatale, "Criminal" was selected, although Sabi revealed she pictured a music video for "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" in a similar style to the performance of 2011's Femme Fatale Tour. The performance consists of Spears singing and dancing to the song while her dancers are carrying picture frames. Sabi performed the song with Spears in selected cities. Despite not being released as a single, "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" managed to peak at number forty-one on South Korea's Gaon International Chart, due to digital sales separate from Femme Fatale, and also appeared on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.
