Songfacts®:

Max Martin and Savan Kotecha also have writing credits. Birgisson and Martin are both members of the Swedish music production company Maratone, who have worked with a number of leading artists such as Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson. Texan songwriter Kotecha is a frequent collaborator with the Maratone team, his contributions include Westlife's hit single "Us Against The World" and Britney Spears' raunchy "If U Seek Amy."
