"Scream & Shout" is a song by American recording artist will.i.am and Britney Spears, taken from the former's fourth studio album #willpower. It was released on November 20, 2012 by Interscope Records as the second single from the album, and sent to mainstream radio in the United States on November 27. The song was written by will.i.am, Jef Martens and Jean Baptiste and was produced by Martens under the alias Lazy Jay, with additional production by will.i.am. "Scream & Shout" is an upbeat dance-pop song; its lyrics are about having a good time on a night out. It interpolates a sample of the lyric "Britney, bitch", which was used on Spears' 2007 single "Gimme More".


I personally think this music video was successful because of the collaboration between the two artists. After confirming he was working with Spears on August 2012, will.i.am tweeted her saying "OMG...your lookin fit & hot...can't wait to shoot the video to our song...your fans are ganna love it...". The music video was directed by Ben Mor and filmed on October 13 – 14, 2012, in Los Angeles.  Behind the scenes footage of the video recording—in which according to the Daily Mirror Spears wore a Herve Leger dress and black gloves—was leaked on October 14. When asked about the video's concept and style, will.i.am said that it will include "urban fresh fashion", and that he intended to release the video and song together.
