A dance-pop and techno-pop song with elements of bhangra music, 'Toxic' features varied instrumentation, such as drums, synthesizers and surf guitar. After trying to choose between '(I Got That) Boom Boom' and ' Outrageous' to be the second single, Spears selected 'Toxic' instead. Released as the second single from In the Zone, the song was initially offered to Kylie Minogue for her album Body Language, but she turned it down.
It was written and produced by Bloodshy & Avant, with additional writing from Cathy Dennis and Henrik Jonback.
' Toxic' is a song by American singer Britney Spears from her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003). For other songs with similar names, see Toxic (disambiguation) § Music.
