What pop star had the hit song is "I Wanna Go"?

The pop star who had the hit song “I Wanna Go” was Britney Spears. The dance-pop track became the third single from her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale, released in 2011.

“I Wanna Go” was written and produced by the Swedish hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback, with Savan Kotecha also receiving a writing credit. Its bright, electronic production and playful lyrics fit the album's polished pop and dance sound. Spears's performance centers on the song's repeated, instantly recognizable hook about wanting to break free and let loose.

The single was released in June 2011 and became one of Spears's notable late-career chart successes. Its music video plays with celebrity, media intrusion, and fantasy, showing Spears trying to escape an absurd press environment. It is sometimes confused with similarly titled songs, but this hit belongs specifically to Britney Spears and the Femme Fatale era.
