Britney Spears Reveals Art for New Single "3," Hitting Radio Tomorrow

September 28, 2009 4:32 PM ET

Britney Spears is giving fans an early look at the artwork for her new single, "3," on her official Website. The tune — which was produced by hitmaker Max Martin — premieres tomorrow morning on New York's Z100. The cover is pretty simple — and nothing like the covers RS contributors dreamed up when the singer put out Blackout a few years ago. Check out those options here.

Britney's wild ride: her ups and downs in photos.

As Rolling Stone reported, "3" will appear on a best-of collection called The Singles Collection on November 24th — just in time for the Christmas rush and a week before Spears' 28th birthday. The singer spent her last birthday making a grand comeback on Good Morning America, performing "Womanizer" and "Circus" at New York's Big Apple Circus the day Circus dropped.

Spears performed the last date of most recent U.S. Circus tour last night in Vegas and special guest Lance Bass hopped onstage and was serenaded during "Breathe on Me." Spears spread the word via tweet: "My good friend Lance surprised me on stage last night for Breathe On Me. It was soo funny! Good to see you Lance! -Brit"

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
