PRESS RELEASE: With 30 million albums sold worldwide and the prestigious honor of being the only artist under the age of 30 included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time, 5 time Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera has already achieved an unprecedented level of success. Aguilera's been hard at work in the studio for the past year and is pleased to announce the release of her highly anticipated 4th studio album Bionic (RCA Records) this summer. The first single from "Bionic" is the fiercely energetic anthem "Not Myself Tonight", produced by Polow Da Don. The song will premiere on ChristinaAguilera.com at 6pm EDT on 3/30, impacts radio on 4/5 and will be available on iTunes on 4/13.

Bionic features songs co-written by Aguilera along with her much buzzed about collaborations including Sia, Tricky Stewart, Polow Da Don, Le Tigre, Hill & Switch, and Ladytron among others. Aguilera notes, "Working on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to Bionic. My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic." The album also features a ballad produced and written by Linda Perry titled "Lift Me Up". The title Bionic reflects Aguilera's ability to take her range to new levels and use her voice in various ways never heard before.

Aguilera describes the album as a unique mix of many genres and styles of music, "I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don't think anyone will expect." In addition to completing the album which was all recorded from her home studio after the birth of her first son, Christina also completed production on her first film, "Burlesque." The film, which co-stars Cher, Stanley Tucci, and Kristen Bell will be released by ScreenGems this fall.

Aguilera's "Bionic" is set to be released worldwide on June 8, 2010. The single cover for "Not Myself Tonight" was released last Wednesday, March 24. The lyrics to the song was released a day after, on March 25th. Today, the snippet of the song was finally released via Aguilera's official website.

"Not Myself Tonight"

Written by Polow Da Don & Ester Dean

You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control
is this me
you wanna get crazy
because I don't give a...

1ST VERSE
I'm out of character
I'm in rare form
and If you really knew me
you'd know its not the norm

B SECTION:
Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
the old me's gone I feel brand new
and if you don't like it f*ck you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

2ND VERSE:
I'm dancing alot and I'm taking shots I'm feeling fine
I'm kissing all the boys and the girls
someone call the doctor cause I lost my mind

B SECTION:
Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
the old me's gone I feel brand new
and if you don't like it **** you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

BRIDGE:
In the morning
when I wake Up
I'll go back to the girl I used to be
but baby not tonight

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

Yah, that feels good
I needed that
get crazy
let's go
that's right
come on
give it to me now, don't stop
