Army of Me (Christina Aguilera song)
"Army of Me" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera for her seventh studio album, ''Lotus'' (2012). It was co-written by Aguilera with Jamie Hartman, David Glass and Phil Bentley, with production done by Tracklacers and Jamie Hartman. Described by Aguilera as part two to her 2002 single "Fighter", she decided to record the song so that her newer, younger fans would have an empowering song to listen in case they were unfamiliar with her previous work. The song combines dance-pop and euro-dance genres; its instrumentation incorporates drum beats and rock guitars. "Army of Me" garnered mixed reviews from music critics. Many praised Aguilera's strong delivery of the song's message and branded it a potential single, while others criticized it for being too similar to "Fighter". Upon the release of ''Lotus'', the song debuted on the South Korea international singles chart at number 103 with digital download sales of 2,689. Aguilera has performed the song at the 40th American Music Awards in the United States.
==Background and recording==
Following the release of her sixth studio album, ''Bionic'' (2010), Aguilera filed for divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman, starred in her first feature film, ''Burlesque'' and recorded the accompanying soundtrack. She then became a coach on NBC's singing competition show ''The Voice''〔 and appeared as a featured artist on Maroon 5's single "Moves like Jagger" (2011), which spent four weeks atop the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Following these events, Aguilera announced that had plans to begin production of her seventh album, stating that she wanted high quality and "personal" songs for the record.〔 Regarding the creative direction, she revealed that the album would be a "culmination of everything I've experienced up until this point ... I've been through a lot since the release of my last album, being on ('The Voice'), having had a divorce ... This is all sort of a free rebirth for me." She further said "I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good, super-expressive () super-vulnerable."〔 Aguilera continued to say that the album would be about "self–expression and freedom" because of the personal struggles she had overcome during the last couple of years. Speaking about her new material during an interview on ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' in 2012, Aguilera said that the recording process for ''Lotus'' was taking a while because "I don't like to just get songs from producers. I like them to come from a personal place ... I'm very excited. It's fun, exciting, introspective, it's going to be great".
Recorded at Henson Recording Studios, Hollywood, California, and Radley Studios, Los Angeles, California, by Justin Stanley, "Army of Me" was co-written by Aguilera with Jamie Hartman, David Glass and Phil Bentley.〔 It was produced by Tracklacers and it was co-produced by Hartman.〔 Aguilera's vocals were recorded by Oscar Ramirez at The Red Lips Room in Beverly Hills in California.〔 Programming was carried out by Steve Daly and John Keep, while strings were composed by Hartman.〔 In an interview with Andrew Hampp for ''Billboard'', Aguilera explained how her role on ''The Voice'' has allowed her to reach a new generational audience who may not be familiar with her past work, including songs such as her 2002 single, "Fighter".〔 When asked if some of the songs on ''Lotus'' feature themes which are similar to that of her 2002 album, ''Stripped'', Aguilera responded by saying that "Army of Me" is what she describes as "Fighter 2.0".〔
"Absolutely. There's a song called 'Army of Me,' which is sort of a 'Fighter 2.0.' There is a new generation of fans from a younger demographic that might not have been with me all the way but that watch me on the show now. I feel like every generation should be able to enjoy and have their piece of 'Fighter' within. This time, the way it musically came together it just felt right for this time and this generation. There's always going to be a fighter in me getting through some obstacle and some hurdle. All these 6-year-olds who know me from pushing my button and turning around in a big red chair who weren't around for the actual 'Fighter,' this is my chance to recharge it, rejuvenate it and do something modernized for them".〔〔
