Composition
"Keeps Gettin' Better" is an electropop song, written in the key of F minor. The song has also been noted by The Times as an "electro-glam" number. Described as a "muscular, percussive arena-ready" track, the song has gathered comparisons to Goldfrapp's Supernature album and Britney Spears' song "Womanizer". An "instantly engaging" electropop beat begins the track; the track features "space-age sounds" in response to its futuristic concept, with a "throbbing" synth line. Aguilera's vocals in the track span from the note of F3 to the note of C5. Lyrically, themes of female empowerment and being a superhero are dominant on the track. Aguilera sings, "Some days I'm a super bitch". The lyrics actually derive from Aguilera's experience as a mother. While talking to MSN she said;
"After having my own child, it's pretty amazing what females are capable of, We're Supergirl, we do it all: we give the love, we give the milk. On the other hand, I'm running a business. I'm running my career. That comes with being labeled a bitch. If that's what I'm gonna be called by being assertive and knowing who I am and what I want out of life, then so be it. I will wear that label proudly. For me it's about turning that word into a positive."

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing ... I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
