Songfacts®:

  • This flamenco-inspired Latin pop track was inspired by Christina Aguilera's hurtful realization that her ex-lover was gay. During an appearance on the RuPaul's Drag Race aftershow Untucked, the singer told the drag queens, "It was heartbreaking because I found out he played for your team, not mine."

    After a moment of cheers and screaming, contestant Vanessa Vanjie Mateo interjected by saying, "He's gonna see this, he's gonna be mad," to which Christina replied: "I hope so, girl!"
  • Aguilera told MTV News in 2002 that "Infatuation" was about her desire for her backup dancer boyfriend, whom she dated for two years.
