The album spawned two singles. The first of these, titled "Crazy Possessive" was released on May 26, 2009 for digital download.^[3] The single is her first release in the UK since 2002's I'm Not Anybody's Girl. Despite the success of her previous singles in the country, "Crazy Possessive" failed to make an impact on the UK music charts. The single also failed to chart in European countries, however, it did receive major publicity, and has become her breakout hit in that country. Released as her first official single in the US, it was met with moderate success there. Despite criticism due to similarities between it and Britney Spears 2008 song, "Womanizer", it did manage to reach the top of Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2009.^[4] The second single released from the album was "Body Shots", which features vocals from hip-hop artist Ludacris. The single was released exclusively in the US, where it was met with generally positive reviews. The single has also become a dance hit, reaching the peak of Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart, becoming her second consecutive single to do so.^[5] Due to disputes between her record label, Bring It Own is concerted Battaglia's final album after she retired from the music industry in 2013. The album was only released in Japan as a physical release, however it was released digital download in the United States.

Background

After promotion for her 2002 album, I'm Not Anybody's Girl had ended the following year, Battaglia stated she would be working on her next album, slated for a 2004 release. However, at the beginning of that year, Battaglia announced she would be taking an unspecified amount of time off. In this time, Battaglia focused on her personal life as well as her modeling career. She also continued to be a kickboxing instructor. After several years of no singles or albums, Battaglia released "Can't Help Myself" in 2007, and it was serviced as a promotional single to dance radio stations. After the single had minor success, Battaglia announced she would return to the studio and record a new single, however, no album was confirmed at the time.

The outcome of this studio session, titled "Crazy Possessive", was released on May 26, 2009 to generally mixed critical reception. The single did receive some criticism however, due to the single sounding similar to Britney Spears' "Womanizer" (2008). After the single reached number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play, Battaglia and Curb Records reached an agreement to record another album, slated for release in 2010.

After several months of silence, Battaglia finally released a second official single, "Body Shots" and later announced the album's title to be Bring It On. Despite confirmation that the album would be released physically and digitally, it was only released for digital download on September 21, 2010. Due to the failure to release a physical copy, the single failed to garner much success, and didn't even chart in its first week of release.

Composition

The music found on Bring It On is generally a dance-pop sound, filled with electronic backgrounds and auto-tune. The album has been compared to recent releases by Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Kesha.^[2] The dance beat on the album is different than Battaglia's normal teen-pop music heard on her previous albums, Paradise and I'm Not Anybody's Girl. The lyrical content on the album is also more mature, and features Battaglia singing on subjects such as sexuality, love and confidence.

"Crazy Possessive" is the second song on the album, as well as the lead single. The song lyrically speaks of Battaglia's fight for her man, as another woman is trying to take her away from him. The composition of the single has been compared to the number one single by Britney Spears, titled "Womanizer". It had some commercial success, peaking at the top of Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play. "Body Shots" is the third track on the album, as well as the second official single. It was released on July 13, 2010 in the US alone, where it peaked at the top of the Hot Dance Club Play music chart. It features Ludacris rapping in the third verse.^[6]

"Remedy" is the seventh song on the album, and differs from the majority of the songs on Bring It On. It features a piano in the song, and although it is an uptempo dance track, it is more pop music than the typical dance music. "PartyAHolic" is the eighth song on the album, and is one of the most praised songs on the album.
