Background

The lyrics for "Body Shots" were penned by Battaglia based on a conversation she had with some of her girlfriends right before her 21st birthday. She co-wrote all of the songs on the album. "I had been talking to some of my friends about what we were going to do when I turned 21," Battaglia explains, "and they were pushing for me to try a body shot. Later that day, when we were in the studio, I decided to see if I could capture what that experience might be like in a song. It was really fun to write and it already goes down a storm when I perform it live!" "Body Shots" was written by her and long-time collaborators Michael Grant, Arianna Wilson, and Jarreau and Trevor Pitts.[2][3]

Release

The song was released through digital music retailers on July 13, 2010, and its EP of remixes was released on August 10, 2010.[4] The song has been a success in the United States clubs, reaching number one at the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[5]

Music video

The video premiered at Battaglia's official YouTube page on August 22, 2010.[6] It features her and some girls dancing in the studio and also a guest appearance by Ludacris.[7]

Background

About the video, Battaglia says, "Ludacris and I had an incredible time shooting the clip with European director, Stephanie Pistel – working in studios in both New York City and Miami. We took a very symbolic approach to the video and hope that we came up with something classy, fresh and fun."[8]
