Bionic is the sixth studio album by American recording artist 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, electro-R&B and futurepop record. Its first half consists of electronic tracks incorporating synthesizers and electronic beats, while the second half displays a balladic production. The album's main themes are described as sex and post-feminism.

Bionic received mixed reviews from music critics. Commercially the album did not match the chart impact and sales of her previous releases. It debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 110,000 copies and has sold 330,000 units in the United States as of September 2012. Internationally the album peaked inside the top 10 in most countries, including a number one debut on the UK Albums Chart.

Bionic spawned two international 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 exclusively released in Australia and New Zealand. Bionic was promoted in mid-2010 by television performances, such as Aguilera's appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, American Idol, and Today. A concert tour was initially planned to support the album; nevertheless it never materialized.
