Bionic is the sixth studio album by American singer Christina Aguilera. It was released on June 4, 2010, by RCA Records. Inspired by Aguilera`s taste for electronic music, Bionic is characterized as an electropop, futurepop and R&B record. The first half consists of electronic songs incorporating synthesizers and electronic beats, while the second half displays a balladic production. The album`s main themes include sex and feminism.

Bionic received mixed reviews from music critics upon its debut. The record opened at a peak of number three on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 110,000 copies, selling 500,000 album-equivalents as of June 2018. Internationally, the album peaked inside the top ten in most countries, including a number-one debut on the UK Albums Chart. At the time of its release, Bionic was the lowest-selling UK Albums Chart number-one album of the last eight years.

The album spawned a number of singles: `Not Myself Tonight` was released in April 2010, and `You Lost Me` was released in June; `Woohoo` was released in the United States and some European countries, while `I Hate Boys` was released exclusively in Oceania. Bionic was promoted in mid-2010 by television performances, such as Aguilera`s appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the ninth season of American Idol, Today and MTV Movie Awards. A concert tour, titled The Bionic Tour, was initially planned to support the album, but was ultimately canceled due to Aguilera`s heavy promotional schedule for the album and then-upcoming film Burlesque (2010).

Background and development
`With this new album, I wanted to go in a completely opposite direction – a very futuristic, robotic sound and computer-sounding vocals. I`m experimenting with my voice in ways I`ve never done before, almost like a technical, computer-generated sound, which is different for me because I`m the type of vocalist that just belts. I`m always inspired by new things because I get bored.`[1]

—Aguilera, about Bionic

After a successful 2006, during which Aguilera released her critically acclaimed and commercially successful fifth studio album Back to Basics, Aguilera received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards (2007) and won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for its lead single `Ain`t No Other Man`. While on the Asian leg of the Back to Basics Tour, during the summer of 2007, Aguilera said that her upcoming album would be `short, sweet and completely different` from its predecessor.[2] After the birth of her son Max, Aguilera stated in an interview with Ryan Seacrest that her forthcoming album would include a completely new aspect of herself as an artist, because of the pregnancy with her son.[3] In a February 2008 interview with People, Aguilera stated that she was going to start recording new material for her forthcoming album at her Beverly Hills, California residence.[4] DJ Premier, who, at the time, was working on projects for his record label Year Round Records, shared plans to head back into the studio with Aguilera, and stated: `She`s doing an all pop album again, but she wants me to keep the tone like what we did before. She`s ready to start next month.`[5] Linda Perry, who had previously worked with Aguilera was to be included in the project too.[6] In an interview with Billboard in October 2008, Aguilera said that the album would be mostly produced by Perry.[7]

During the initial recording sessions, Aguilera released her first greatest hits album Keeps Gettin` Better: A Decade of Hits (2008), which featured two new songs that were derived from electronic music, and she announced that the compilation was in the vein of where the upcoming album was going to go, which was a very futuristic approach to music.[8] `I get off on working with creative energy`, Aguilera said, and added: `That`s when I`m most at home and feel happiest. And all these people brought about new sides of me. It was a big collaboration-fest, and it felt so good and rewarding in the end, because I was just so happy with the work and the new territories that I ventured out to.`[9] Aguilera also remarked that her son inspired her to experiment in ways `that maybe I`ve been afraid to do in the past, to allow myself to go to a place of `less singing", adding: `[It] is just about the future – my son in my life, motivating me to want to play and have fun.`[1
