See media help . </Td> </Tr> <P> "If U Seek Amy" runs through a dance - oriented beat and features many instruments, including keyboards, snare, bass drums, electric guitars and timpani . According to the sheet music published at musicnotes.com by Hal Leonard Corporation, the song has a beat of 130 beats per minute and is written in the key of A minor . Spears's vocal range spans from G - C. In the song, Spears seems to be looking for a woman named Amy in a club . It has been suggested that Amy is either Amy Winehouse or an alter ego of Spears herself . The verses end with the hookline "Hahahehehahaho", which, according to Poppy Cossins of The Sun, is fitting to "the album's carnivalesque overtone". The chorus begins with the lines "Love me, hate me / Say what you want about me", a reference to the public's perception and fascination with Spears' life . This presents Spears both as "an object of desire and a punching bag". According to Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph, this line also alludes to the public image of British singer Amy Winehouse . </P> <P> The title, "If U Seek Amy", is a pun, meaning to sound like "F-U-C-K me" when heard in the chorus, "All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, if you seek Amy ." This wordplay was compared to passages of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and James Joyce's Ulysses where characters covertly spell out profanities, songs by Memphis Slim, R. Stevie Moore, April Wine, Poster Children and The Script entitled "If You See Kay," and the title of Van Halen's 1991 album, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge . </P>
