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."
