"Battlefield" is a song by American recording artist Jordin Sparks, taken from her sophomore studio album of the same name. It was written by Louis Biancaniello, Ryan Tedder, Sam Watters and Wayne Wilkins, while production of the song was helmed by Tedder and The Runaways. "Battlefield" was released digitally in the United States on May 8, 2009, as the album's lead single. "Battlefield" is a mid-tempo ballad which draws from the genres of pop, R&B, pop rock and soft rock. The song's lyrics revolve around "a tumultuous relationship where neither side wants to compromise."[1] The song's lyrical theme received comparisons to Pat Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield" (1983), and its production was compared to Benatar's "We Belong" (1984).

"Battlefield" was well received by most music critics who praised its production and lyrics. In the United States, "Battlefield" reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and number six on the Pop Songs chart. Outside of the US, it reached number five in Canada and reached the top ten in Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, and the top twenty in the United Kingdom. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Philip Andelman. It features Sparks on a field and flanked by flashing lights and smoke. To promote the song, Sparks performed on televised shows which included American Idol and Good Morning America. The song has been covered by English alternative rock band Fightstar which was performed on the television show One Life to Live.

Background and release

"Battlefield" was written by Louis Biancaniello, Ryan Tedder, Sam Watters and Wayne Wilkins, and was produced by Tedder and The Runaways.[2] The track was mixed by Biancaniello and Watters.[2] The song was initially written with Christina Aguilera in mind, later it was also being considered as a duet for Rihanna and Chris Brown but the news broke that Brown had assaulted Rihanna, and Jive CEO Barry Weiss then decided to give "Battlefield" to Sparks.[3] During an interview with Digital Spy, Sparks revealed that while she was in the studio working on another song with Wilkins, he asked her if he could play her a demo of "Battlefield".[4] Sparks was pleased with the demo that was presented to her and asked her A&R if she could have the song.[4] She later received a phone call which confirmed that she was to record "Battlefield".[4] Sparks further elaborated about the song:

What grabbed me at first actually was the fact it was so big. The melody starts off very soft but then it gets massive and kinda angsty. I've had lots of friends who've gone through 'Battlefield' situations in their relationships, so when I was singing the song I put myself in their position and tried to imagine what they were going through. I got so, so into it and I think you can tell.[4]

"Battlefield" was released digitally in the United States on May 8, 2009,[5] and was sent to US contemporary hit radios on May 25.[6] A digital EP with four remixes of the song was released in Australia, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom on June 25.[7][8][9][10] A CD single of "Battlefield", featuring an additional remix, was released in the United Kingdom on July 6,[11] and Canada and France on July 7.[12][13] "Battlefield" was released as a maxi single in Germany on July 17.[14]

It is composed in the key of G major with Sparks' vocal range spanning from the note of A3 to C6.[21] The song's lyrics revolve around "a tumultuous relationship where neither side wants to compromise", as stated by Jocelyn Vena of MTV News.[1] Nick Levine of Digital Spy noted that "Battlefield" is based on the "love is war" metaphor.[17] During the chorus, Sparks sings: "I never meant to start a war / You know, I never wanna hurt you / Don't even know what we're fighting for / Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield."[1] Its bridge features the line: "I guess you'd better go and get your armour".[22]

Critical reception

Bill Lamb of About.com awarded "Battlefield" four-and-a-half out of five stars, writing, "'Battlefield' is the kind of song that screams instant hit from the first time you listen [to it]."[23] Lamb also praised Sparks' "exciting, declaiming vocals" and wrote that she "is no minor talent, and she proves it here. From the first notes she is clearly in a vocal zone."[23] Nick Levine of Digital Spy noted that the song bears similarities to Beyoncé's "Halo" (2009), but found the song "more bombastic, more overblown and, well, just plain better".[17] A writer for The Insider stated that it was one of the songs on the album that proved why she won the sixth season of American Idol.[24] Ruth Harrison of Female First magazine called the song "incredible", writing, "From the build-up of the verses to the epic chorus that is just made to be sung in arena's all over the world; the greatness of this song can really not be summed up in words."[25] Adam Knott of Sputnikmusic called it "a massive, epic pop song", that is Sparks' best single release to date.[22] Gavin Martin of Daily Mirror called "Battlefield" one of the most "epic metaphoric ballads" ever made by Tedder.[26] Shereen Low of The Belfast Telegraph described it as a "radio-friendly song",[27] while Ryan Brockington of New York Post called the song "simply pure pop magic".[28]

Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly described "Battlefield" as "gorgeous", writing, "when Sparks hits that 'Better go and get your armor' bridge, you can practically feel the wind whipping through your hair."[29] Johnny Dee of Virgin Media wrote that it was one of the song's "you cannot help but reach for any available nearby hairbrush and sing along to", despite calling the bridge a "clunking pedestrian pace and corny advice".[30] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine stated that "Battlefield" is as catchy as "Halo" and Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" (2007), and noted that the song's production was similar to Pat Benatar's "We Belong" (1984).[31] This was echoed by Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian, who wrote that "there's an inner Pat Benatar struggling to get out."[32] Nate Chinen of The New York Times stated that on "Battlefield", Sparks' "sounds vexed but in control, and undaunted by the copyright interests of Pat Benatar, who preferred her battlefield metaphors in declarative form", referring to Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield" (1983).[33] Joanna Hunkin of The New Zealand Herald noted that the song's lyrics were similar to Benatar's "Love Is a Battlefield", and criticized Sparks for plagiarism and not crediting Benatar as an inspiration.[34]
