LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "If U Seek Amy" will be the third single from Britney Spears' "Circus," the pop princess announced on her Web site on Wednesday.

In December, fans chose the controversial track as the song she should chose for her next single in a poll on the site, with "Amy" winning 26 percent of the vote.

Many parents are up in arms over the song's chorus, "All of the girls and all of the boys are looking to... If you seek Amy," which could be heard as "F*** me."

"I was astonished and totally taken aback when I heard my 5 and 7-year-old kids walking around the house singing 'F-U---K," one parent has complained, according to Rolling Stone. "When I asked them what it was, they told me it was Britney Spears. I was horrified."

The first two singles from "Circus" were "Womanizer," which topped the charts, and the album's title track.

Brit took a break over the holidays from promoting the album to celebrate the wedding of her brother, Bryan, who was married on New Year's Eve in New Orleans.

    Im so glad this parenting group is taking a stand againts this trash. Brit is nothing but a skanky role model and a terrible parent. She has no talent and its surprising her music even sells but I guess that goes to show there are so many people out there that have bad taste.

    Back in the day, Elvis, Madona, and all sorts of singers get ridiculed for being too provocative in their lyrics or racy moves... however, those ppl and fans have made them extremely wealthy so I say, if you dont like it ... Turn it off! I will listen to Britney, Madona and anyone else who wants to tell us how they feel when they express there talents. I love it. Some ppl are such prudes! Yay-ya!

    I remember years ago there was a country song that sand "getting oil from a water spout" You would hear so many people singing "Getting off on a water spout" People just need to let it go already she is getting healthier & better everyday. She made mistakes & has even admitted to them so leave her alone & move onto someone else already.

    LOL, plan.! BS may have accolades, but why make such raunchy music instead of something cool & decent? It seems that she causes her own problems with the nasty songs. She can't sing, but her fans don't care. They're enamored with her fancy outfits, etc. & can't see she's a ruse!

    If Britney is worthless and a piece of trash then why has she had so many hit singles and her new album went platinum. Everyone knows that Britneys music is provocative and has language that little kids shouldn't hear. The only way that the child heard the song was if the Parent owns the cd or they bought it for the child cause it ain't on the radio yet.
