"Show Me How You Burlesque" (written by Christopher Stewart, Claude Kelly, and its vocalist Christina Aguilera) is the final song in the film Burlesque (2010) before the end credits. It is a showstopper track, recalling musicals like Cabaret and Chicago and serves as a call to attention to the patrons of the club that the show has just begun. The song leaked online months ahead of the release with speculation leading that it was going to be on Aguilera's then-next album. It was marked as "Spotlight" before the final title was revealed.
