Interesting Facts:
What an uproar it was in the Madonna-community when it was announced in mid-September 2003 that Madonna had agreed to sing a duet with Britney Spears. Eventually the first wave of hatred cooled down and most fans were eager to hear the track - with most fans having to agree in the end that it indeed was quite a cool song which suited Madonna just fine.

Strangely, in over 20 years of having a strong career, this is one of the rare duets Madonna has recorded [the others being only 'Love Song' with Prince from Like A Prayer, 'Be Careful [Cuidado Con My Corazón] with Ricky Martin from his self-titled album, 'Guilty By Association' with Joe Henry from Sweet Relief II and 'What Can You Lose' with Mandy Patinkin from I'm Breathless] and the only duet having seen a worldwide release as a single.

Expecations were high for this duet, especially after the infamous kiss Madonna and Britney shared on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards the same year.

The single was received with much enthusiasm all over the world, but only peaked at #35 in the US. Europe, on the other hand, embraced the track: It made it into the Top 10 of all European countries!

Later on, Me Against The Music was also included in a slightly longer version on Britney's 'In The Zone'-album which also includes another remix of the song.

In the liner-notes of the booklet, Britney thanks Madonna as follows:
"Madonna, for being on my record. This is something I'll always remember, thank you."
