 * It was written by Aguilera, Linda Perry and Mark Ronson, and produced by Perry for Aguilera's fifth studio album, Back to Basics (2006). ---> repetition of "Aguilera", try "her", "the latter" or "the singer"
 * It was released as the album's second single on September 19, 2006 by RCA Records instead of "Candyman", which was planned to be the second one. ---> repetition of "it", try "the song" or "the track"
 * Perry developed the first draft of the song while Aguilera rewrote some of the lyrics, and the final version is a tribute to the pair's symbiotic teamwork ---> this is sourced by About.com, which is NOT so reliable
 * Aguilera's voice ---> vocals
 * attained a moderate success ---> success is countable lol?
 * however, it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold more than 1.1 million copies in the country alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan. ---> don't require "however"
