"Mind Your Business" isn't the first track to feature both Britney Spears and Will.i.am. The two have worked together previously on tracks like "Big Fat Base," off Spears' "Femme Fatale" album, as well as "Scream & Shout," which was featured on Will.i.am's "#willpower" album. As a producer, the Black Eyed Peas member tends to put together beats that get stuck in your head, but often, the lyrics of the tracks don't hold much meaning. This doesn't seem to be the case for this latest collab.
"Too much looky-looky, get up off mе, too much watchy-wah. Hands up in the cookie jar, they watchin' me, they watchin' ya. They got eyes up in the sky, so pose for that camera. They follow me, follow me, follow me, follow, follow me," read the lyrics of the song's second verse. It seems evident that the lyrics speak to celebrities always being watched by someone, no matter what they may be doing. The specific line, "hands up in the cookie jar," may allude to a person being caught doing something they shouldn't — whether that be something they know is wrong or something that society deems as being wrong. In another verse, Spears calls out the paparazzi directly. "Uptown, downtown, everywhere I turn around. Hollywood, London, snap-snap is the sound. Paparazzi shot me. I am the economy. Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow, follow me," the lyrics read.
