About Intro

"Lotus Intro" is a song recorded by American singer Christina Aguilera for her seventh studio album, Lotus (2012). Written by Aguilera, Dwayne Abernathy, Candice Pillay and Alex da Kid, the song is about her rebirth as an artist, and is a representation of the symbolic nature of the Lotus Flower. "Lotus Intro" was created from Aguilera's passion for "chill-out" electronica music, and incorporates electronic and electronica styles. A sample of M83's "Midnight City" was originally included in the demo, but was ultimately not cleared. Upon its release, "Lotus Intro" garnered mixed reviews from music critics; some complimented its hypnotizing melody, while others stated the song's name is misleading, as the track is a full-length song, and not a short introduction. Aguilera first performed "Lotus Intro" at the 40th American Music Awards on November 18, 2012, as part of a medley with Lotus tracks "Army of Me" and "Let There Be Love". Upon the release of the album, the song debuted at number 165 on the South Korean international singles chart, selling 1,898 copies. more »
