"Bossy"
Song

"Bossy" is a song written by R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo and production-team Stargate for American pop singer Lindsay Lohan. The song became Lohan's first #1 hit on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Release

A clip of the song leaked on YouTube early in May 2008. Universal Motown released the full song in High quality to media outlets on May 7, 2008. The song was uploaded on Lohan's official MySpace page. The song was digitally released on May 27, 2008.

Critical reception

Billboard said "The track spotlights the raspy-voiced singer's dominating side as she rhymes about liking things her way over simple drums".

Song information

The single contains a dance-pop sound with influences of hip-hop and R&B.

Ne-Yo wrote the synth-heavy dance track with the actress in mind, he stated that:

"I wrote it for her because when she's on her game, you can see these traits in her. When she's focused, she exudes the aura of a boss with ease," Ne-Yo explains. "When Stargate and I were approached with the task, we viewed it as a challenge. 'Can we make a song for Lindsay Lohan that people were gonna take seriously?' I think we did it."

In the song's chorus, Lohan unapologetically sings, "I'm just a little bossy. I like it how I like it when I like it and that's how it is."

Ne-Yo says the song is about strength. "It's basically about a woman being strong enough to get what she wants when she wants it," he tells: "In this case, 'Bossy' is a term that describes confidence and power."

Ne-Yo also stated: "I gotta admit, we were like ... Lindsay Lohan?'" Ne-Yo says with a laugh. "I mean, I've written for Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Celine Dion and ... Lindsay Lohan? But I will say this; we gave her a quality record and she did a ridiculously fabulous job. I was so shocked I had to call her and apologize for what I was thinking because she did so good. I think the world is gonna be surprised.".Lindsay' third album with name Spirit in the Dark is set to come out In Spring 2009.Spirit in the Dark's next single will be the song Playground witch is a duet with Pharrell and its set to come out in Spring 2009.
