"Intuition" is a dance-pop song written and produced by American singer-songwriter Jewel and songwriter-producer Lester Mendez for Jewel's fourth studio album, 0304 (2003). It was released as the album's lead single in May 2003. Following the club success of "Serve the Ego", Jewel moved to a more pop-oriented sound with the release of "Intuition". The song, which strays from her usual folk style with simple acoustic guitar instrumentation, starts off with a French accordion and then experiments with pop beats with subtle urban influences, using synthesizers. The song achieved moderate success in the United States, reaching number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100. However, a number of Jewel's fans criticized her for abandoning her traditional folk style in exchange for a new pop sound. Accusations of "selling out" for personal gain, among other things, were made, where in fact the video and song were making fun of her "supposedly selling out".[citation needed]

Despite the switch of sound style, the song is lyrically similar to her previous work. It has a number of references to popular culture, including mentioning celebrities such as pop star Jennifer Lopez, model Kate Moss, actor Charlie Sheen, runway diva coach extrodinaire J. Alexander, magazines, film culture, and commercialism.

The final release of the single saw no alteration from the album version. Radio stations however did receive a radio edit of the song, only deleting one repeated chorus verse from the ending of the song cutting it down to three minutes and thirteen seconds. Commercial singles were released within the U.S. and internationally. Within the U.S. there was a single and a maxi single release. The single containing only two tracks while the maxi containing all the club mixes. The single went number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100, but hit number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play for one week.

[edit] Music video

The song's music video, directed by Marc Klasfeld, was filmed mainly in low quality, but would switch to spoofs of commercials (such as Sprite, Levi's, Nike, and Corona) and female pop stars, with sensationalist images in high quality.
