Internationally, the album peaked inside the top ten in most countries, including a number-one debut on the UK Albums Chart. The record opened at a peak of number three on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 110,000 copies, selling 500,000 album-equivalents as of June 2018. Bionic received mixed reviews from music critics upon its debut. The album's main themes include sex and feminism. The first half consists of electronic songs incorporating synthesizers and electronic beats, while the second half displays a balladic production. Inspired by Aguilera's taste for electronic music, Bionic is characterized as an electropop, futurepop and R&B record. It was released on June 4, 2010, by RCA Records. The album was released on June 8th, 2010, and included the hits like Lift Me Up, Vanity, and Sex For Breakfast.Bionic (stylized as ' ' on the album cover) is the sixth studio album by American singer Christina Aguilera. Unfortunately, in 2010 this message didn’t do well with critics, as some, like Perez Hilton, who was still relevant a decade ago, did not exactly praise the album. So I want to empower YOU to love yourself and never be afraid to own it! #Bionic is all about being unabashedly YOU. #NotMyselfTonight is about being bold enough to feel empowered in my own skin. I am proud to have built a body of work behind me that has been unafraid to reflect all sides of me as a woman. From slut shaming to prude labeling, judgements for being too skinny or too fat, and everything in between. I've always stood up for women to express themselves–despite the opinions or shame tactics of others.

In a different Insta post, Aguilera said: “Growing up as a female in this business, I’ve battled and pushed boundaries against double standards. For example, Bionic lead single, Not Myself Tonight, can be fairly called an empowering feminist anthem.
