Stripped was released on October 22, 2002. Aguilera took creative control on the album and co-wrote most of the songs. The record incorporates elements of a wide variety of genres, including soul, hip hop, rock, and Latin. The lead single, "Dirrty", faced controversy for its sexual nature. "Beautiful" is a piano ballad written by Lina Perry, and received acclaim for its positive message. Other singles included "Fighter", "Can't Hold Us Down", and "The Voice Within". Lyrically, Stripped addresses topics like sexism, sexual liberation, self-esteem and the physical violence she endured as a child. Stripped received mixed reviews from contemporary critics, but has become one of Aguilera's most acclaimed albums.
