Britney has such a beautiful kind soul. She did not deserve to go through so much pain and suffering in her life. The fact she still gets up every day and smiles, is true courage. I will always stand by Britney’s side ❤😢
@@jenn_81Get out of here. People like you are the worst. You either are with us and Brit or you are on Justins side. You can’t support both. Pick a side.
@@biokomalabo9468 with media attention small changes have already been made, you need to open your eyes and realize we are those who can help her in the end.
Absolutely... Ik the pain sadly 4x over... I try to tell myself that everything happens for a reason. But why would God or whoever take babies away. I have 4 baby angels in heaven waiting for me when it's my time to be with them. This song makes me cry especially knowing Britney went through so much as well. 😢
She was telling her story the whole time. My heart breaks for Britney. I see clearly the tipping point of her spiral downwards. Wishing her love, peace and healing 🙏 ✨️
After all these years, this song starts to make sense to me, and I can't stop myself from shedding tears. Britney, stay strong. We are all here for you.
According to Britney's autobiography, she wrote the song for the baby she was forced to abort when she was Nineteen. So sad knowing now what this song actually meant.
@@usfanlovesminho5085I finally understand what she went through she had nobody to protect her I cry every time I hear this song she didn't deserve none of that
This song always sounded like a lullaby to me. I used to play it to my kids when they were babies to soothe them to sleep. It worked perfectly... Now it's clear who this lullaby was actually dedicated to 💔
@@Iowaborn14 It's obviously about both. She was dealing with both those things. Of course she may have told the cowriter only about the breakup and not the abortion, she didn't want the abortion to get out to the public and even if she trusted the cowriter, she was probably very guilty and ashamed about it.
When she said "my weakness caused you pain and this songs my sorry" i cried because when this song came out i was 12 and was so confused because this is not her style of music but now we know who it was meant for. I hope she heals and recovers mentally and physically. We are with you Brit ❤
This song makes perfect sense after 20 years. A true artist. So sad, but so beautiful in a sense that we all didn't know her demons. When this song came out, it was so unlike of her other songs & made me think "What is going on here?" It is definitely her masterpiece. An apologetic song to her unborn child, whom she gave her virginity to the love of her life, only to be screwed over by him & her family. It's very tragic.
You are so so so right with that comment! This is her touching masterpiece and I feel so proud of her she even menaged not to blame anyone by this song. How strong a person can be. Thank you for this comment❤ ❤❤❤
When this video came out, it didn't make too much sense to me but I could feel her sadness and sorrow. But now it's all so clear. It all makes sense. The lyrics all make sense. The scenes in the video all make sense. We see you, Britney. We never stopped loving you.
100% agree with you. It was always a beautiful heartfelt song but makes so much more sense now instead of it being about a lover or partner and needing them/mourning them.
@@MellySnow711 yup and show how medias always attack her regardless. I know we kind of blaming on the man right now but she was old enough to make a decision for her own and unfortunately she agreed with the man decision. Just like she did whatever her father told her despite being adult. I do feel for her though and hope she finds peace now that the truth is out.
I vividly remember the first time I saw this video and thinking it sounded like a terribly sad lullaby. And with all we've learned, I can't help but believe she wrote this for her baby while she was navigating through grief. This woman is so much stronger than any of us realized back then. I'm so happy she has her voice back.
yeah the first time i heard i felt it sounded like a lullaby, but i thought it's just another ballad which sounds like a lullaby as it's pretty common for a ballad to sound like a lullaby
She didn’t. She’s confirmed it was just about her breakup. The lullaby type sound is simply because she had relatively rudimentary piano skills. It adds a beautifully haunting layer to the song, but that is just a coincidence. Her and her cowriter confirmed it was not about her abortion and that Britney had no say in the video concept.
Yeah…this was a hard one! I loved the song years ago. Never watched the video. Now knowing what I know…I have no words. I even heard her apologize to him a few times in the song. Now, it makes “cry me a river” seem heartless and cold! Yes she might have cheated but it seems like he made her feel like garbage in this relationship! 😢
Just commenting on the melody: just because it sounds gentle doesn't mean you have to relate it to lullaby. From what I've learned, the piano harmony is just classical material( but well put for a pop song)
@@vivi-ml6pj "why carry on without me", "you seem to move on easy" etc mean it's also about breakup. Musically, this harmony is abundant in classical music and depicts something gentle/sad in general. It is just how music works and how a harmony can be used in several contexts. Most musicians are gonna welcome freedom of interpretation even. If your ability to imagine is limited, it is your own problem. PS: the occasional heavy kicks e.g before and in the chorus e.g 2:05 are too dramatic for lullaby. There's the whole song and yet some people talk like they hear only the soft intro and the lyrics and don't give a damn about other instruments. Have some more listen pls.
You're right. To me it always sounded like a music box, as a small child I had a little jewelry box that had a wind up music box with a little ballerina that would twirl inside when you'd wind it up and it would play a similar melody to that song. I always thought this song was pretty clever of her. Now though, it says a lot.
Knowing all that this lady has been through, this tears at my heart. I want to wrap her up, give her a hug and tell her we're all proud of her for overcoming so much
Even the melody sounds a lot like a lullaby. This breaks me heart so bad. I’ve had a miscarriage a year ago and I understand the amount of pain it causes to a woman. It’s devastating. It’s lonely, it’s soul crushing. She’s a warrior. We stand with you Brit. ❤
@@AFN12315 I know that. I didn’t say she had a miscarriage, I said I did. The feeling of going through an abortion and a miscarriage is pretty much the same. The loneliness, the pain..the chemical effects in your body, specifically if she didn’t want to abort, which was the case. JT is a monster for making her go through that.
@@AFN12315miscarriage or abortion-it’s child loss. She wanted the baby and Justin wasn’t ready and she had an abortion- she noted it still haunts her to this day. I understand how she feels when she says that
@@RafaGomesCinema I'm sorry, did he hold a gun to her head and make her get an abortion? No. He said "I don't want to have a kid yet", at 19! Ultimately, it was her decision. If she had been dead set against it, then she wouldn't have had an abortion. She agreed with him (probably from a combination of 'he doesn't want it', 'We're 19!', 'What about our careers' and, of course, 'Oh, no. I'm still pretending to be a virgin! Now everyone will know I've been lying') Now he's married with two children and she's 3 times divorced and her two children want nothing to do with her. Could it be she's just a little bit jealous that his life is going so much better than hers?
After all this years i get the real meaning of this clip right now and it is so heartbreaking. Britney was waaay stronger than we thought. You deserve whole world Britney.
When she sings "What have I done?" kills me. It's easy to say it was both of their choice. She didn't feel supported and she was a young girl without a single person to truly show her the way. Her parents exploited her and the love of her life didn't do any better. I really feel for this girl. I wish I could hug her. I can't imagine her pain. I'm happy she's letting it out.
@@alicjagodlewska1059she’s not saying everyone is the same. She’s just stating an opinion. And by “relief” after an abortion, seems to me Britney didn’t want to abort. Only did it to make Justin happy. And I understand he has a say in it too but the way he went about things after wasn’t cool.
This song is about regret, heartache, and the complexity of relationships, which makes it feel very personal. Britney's soft, delicate vocal delivery adds an intimate, almost sorrowful layer to the track, making it the most beautiful song on the track.
This is about her abortion and how Justin Timberlake (and everyone around else) pressured her into getting one, which she still regrets to this day. There are literally baby toy noises in first ten seconds and throughout the video ):
Us little girls who grew up on Britney and loved her are adults now, most of us are probably mothers. And im sure collectively, our hearts break for Britney and the woman she could have been if not for these wicked people in her life.
Britney is the only artist I admire and like, so heartbreaking for her, I hope she finds peace in her life, she deserves it,...she is and always be the only pop princess
This song explains a lot of what Britney was going through at the time. I’m glad she is finally got to tell her story in her new memoir. Britney is so strong, brave, and resilient.
My heart absolutely breaks for Britney. She was subtly telling her story. This woman deserves the world for how cruel those closest to her were to her ❤
20 tahun lalu mendengar ini tidak tahu lagu ini tentang bayinya yang diaborsi😢semua lagu britney hapal diluar kepala.baru ini menangis mendengar lagu ini.dulu tidak mengerti kenapa ada bayi dan dia diam .justin toxic.keluarganya.sangat memyedihkan.britney semoga kau bahagia hari ini dan selamanya❤
u said it. it really pisses me off that pretty much every single person even her own family & especially the stupid damn paparazzi treated her like shit, teased her, picked on her & made her miserable every single day 4 no damn reason
I really can’t even imagine how much stuff this woman had to go through… she’s SO strong and an example of bravery. A true fighter for her freedom! I have been a fan since I was little and I’ll never stop supporting you, Brit! ❤
It's 2023 & I'm here with a new perspective 😩💔 It's not easy losing a child no matter how it happened. This woman struggles everyday with her choice and being silenced. I'm so sorry Britney.
same! and this video fits perfectly! Medias continue to attack her decades regardless if she's right or wrong but it's always "It's Brittany, It's Brittany". She is a strong woman and She's been through a lot mentally, with her dad, break ups and recently divorced. Among all that have to live like this for 20 years and this will forever haunt her knowing that she have 2 young adult sons without a father. I do feel for her though
Just finished reading her book after three straight hours and the only thing I can say is that she had been way way way through a lot and I admire her courage and bravery to reveal her truth. You deserve happiness and freedom Britney Spears!
do not forget that she herself is responsible for her actions, she would not have survived this if she had chosen a different path. Forgiveness and inner peace is the great blessing of the song of repentance. I wish her happiness and inner peace.
@@Anastasia-ex7iw let’s not forget that she was a child. Her parents lead her astray for their own financial gain. They ensured she had the bare minimum education from 14 onward because she was their cash cow just needed to perform. They allowed her to be put In adult situations that she was not mature enough to be in, and when she did get older, she never learned how to ease her way into anything because she was thrown into adulthood and missed that experimental time of her life. She was 16 when her first album was released. Before that she worked for Disney as a stage performing Mouseketeer. So yes, you’re right, she made choices, but only look at the circumstances that led her to make the type of choices that she made, None of us can fully understand the impact of being a super celebrity at such a young age.
Not to be dark, but after everything Britney has been through, I’m surprised she’s not dead. She has a soul made of steel and unfathomable strength. Free Britney.
I’m surprised as well! My biggest fear is if Britney is free.. she is officially a walking target. Everybody that is trying to keep her hush hush will want her dead. I mean she is the key to end this conservatorship and exposed Hollywood!
People let’s get this song to number one for Britney !! She deserves it . The lyrics and video are just amazing to me even 50 yrs later it will still be iconic
I’m in tears knowing she tried to tell us so much and was hurting so badly in silence, while JT was living his life as though nothing happened, throwing her to the media wolves. This world owes Britney some love right now.
You need ro also remember her and Justin were still only young. They were both put under a lot of pressure from a young age, their relationship was constantly all over the media, who knows who else was all up in their relationship at the time too, influencing whom knows what. We are only hearing one side to this too. Justin has also admitted to many past mistakes, that he regrets and states he was very arrogant back then. People are constantly on the blame Justin train for everything. We now glorify Brits past mistakes due to mental health, and Justin still cops backlash. For all we know Justin was suffering mentally too and suffered in silence, because back then and still now Men could be considered weak if they spoke up.
@@ashroma8103 he did her dirty and that has been my opinion long before this came out. I hope that boy’s mother gave him a good long lesson on how disgraceful he was to speak about Britney the way that he did on Howard Stern, considering his mother 100% knew about the baby. Britney had been sexually harassed about her virginity in the public eye, and this guy goes and tells secrets that are not all his to tell to smear her.Britney had grace and kept their business private for many, many years. I think Justin owes it to her to allow her to tell this part of it and live with the reactions. Unlike Justin, Britney isn’t doing this to be malicious and destroy him. She could have done that a decade ago or sooner. She’s doing this for healing.
@@ashroma8103he gloated for ten years after their break up about taking her virginity and her mentall struggles. He's a stupid manchild who only now can feel the consequences of his actions. What goes around comes around, justin (another in your face song about britney going "crazy")
@@ashroma8103 He did the same to Janet by throwing her to the wolves. It's all documented. He shifted the blame to Janet and her career tanked because of it. He had no issue with making money by dragging Britney in interviews and in songs. He then threw the woman he was photographed with on the balcony in New Orleans under the bus as well. This man-child has no issue in using or throwing women to the sharks if he comes out looking like the ~victim~
“I make-believe That you are here It's the only way I see clear What have I done? “ It all makes sense why this song felt completely different. A sad lullaby that was much deeper than we every could have imagined. Thank you for sharing your truth Britney.
That part really got me. Then the newborn baby at the end of the video. 😢 No one understands what it's like to make that choice unless you've been through it yourself. Even when you know it's for the best the aftermath isn't always easy. I can't even imagine how she felt when she actually wanted a family.
@@ivoryandgold88 you know whats sadder, maybe just maybe, she wanted a family of her own at that time so she could feel free-ier...starting her own so she could be away from her own fam, her agency...but man, people around her...even her fuckin lover at that time I don't wanna name, they all suck so much....
Wow….this brings tears to my eyes knowing now what it truly means. In retrospect a lot of her songs are hitting different now that we know what they are really about. They sound and hit even better now. Love Britney Spears for a very long time now. She has always been telling us what she has been going through her music.
Like her song work bitch.. I like the song, but it pisses me off because that's two words she's probably heard so many damn times just so others could steal and take so much from her..
It's not about the abortion. She wrote this song after her breakup with Justin (the abortion had happened 2 years before) and she said multiple times this song was about romantic love and heartbreak.
@@moomoos8sweetsThat may have been the story she told then, and maybe she tried to make the video look that way, and the song ambiguous, but the final scene, focusing on a baby's face, paired with the blood on her hands in the tub, tells me this was definitely about the abortion. It may well be what eventually drove them to break up, tbh. Every time she saw him, she remembered her regret, and her unborn child. I know I'd have a hard time staying in that relationship.
@@Shadowkat0326 it’s a theory but we just don’t know, she never confirmed it was about the abortion. If she does, then ok but for now we don’t know. Or there could be hints to the abortion in the video but the song is still about the breakup. People just assuming now that the whole song was written for the unborn child is insane (and honestly if that’s the case, the lyrics don’t make sense). Also when it comes to video clips, it’s the director who makes the decisions of what happens in it.. and noone knew about that abortion except for her and Justin she said. They said the ending of the video clip was supposed to be something different (she died or sthg) but it was too dark so they changed it.
Knowing the real meaning behind this song now made me break down listen to it. Im writing this with tears in my eyes so much I can hardly see what im typing. I dont even want kids myself but I can really feel Britneys pain and longing for the child she lost. I always loved this song, but now I love it even more. My favourite Britney song, and I feel so incredible sorry for her.... She totally deserves a baby girl.
Your comment made my eyes water up along with the video with it all coming into perspective knowing what we know now. There's a lot of queens in the music industry, but she is THEE QUEEN. I don't believe anyone else in the industry could survive what she has endured.
Britney experienced her loss, wrote about it, and then kept it within her for so long. This song is a true masterpiece, and knowing the true meaning behind it just strengthens my love for Britney, and this song, even more. May her beautiful soul find some sort of peace. She didn't deserve what she went through.
I think a lot of people owe Britney a big apology. She deserves happiness and her freedom. I hope when she’s better we hear more music from her, a free Britney
A HUGE Apology!!! Do you, K-Fed, Timber-nothing-, all of her family, court, judges and what's her name, get on your knees and beg for forgiveness. What goes around, comes around Daddy dearest!
Everyone I listed used her as their own ATM while they kept her working. They all will have to answer for what they did concerning the 14 yrs she was completely controlled by her Daddy Jamie. I can't believe what they did to her. Another Daddy, K-Fed should get on his knees and beg for forgiveness. He took 14 yrs away from seeing her boys. That is all she wanted. So again we now know why everything happened. Timberfake can go to hell for what he did to Britney and Janet J. Now the big secret is where is his "secret" daughter? The anti-abortion ppl should be all over him. Now do I need to say more?
I'm still going back to this video as my new education of Britney Spears at 56..wanting to be a good and decent dad to my son. She struck a chord in me..all those who made this song did tremendous work truly changing many folks hearts and minds about who this woman is. I want her out of her darkness and into the light of millions if not billions who do still love and remember her. I dont believe in that Instagram page...I believe in her heart and soul are just. God Bless her on this day and always!
She told us in such an obvious way. I couldn’t imagine. I always thought the baby in this video symbolized something so much more. The lyrics “this songs my sorry” and “ I dream I see your face, it’s haunting me”.
yas it’s been happening, she’s been under a conservatorship with her dad for about 13 years, she has literally no control over her life, she can’t vote or even go get Starbucks without permission. There’s a ton to get into with it though, look up #freebritney
Sending her angels for back then as well as today. She is a true artist. She knew what this song and video was about, and she let the world speculate it was about her killing herself and really it was regretting and morning her unborn baby. About the father now caring, not noticing her or her pain, how easy he moved on. That she hadn’t moved on, even with the magnifying glass the world had on her then. She kept that secret THIS long, God bless her. She is a class act. Justin should be on his knees fighting tooth and nail to help her out of this conservatoryship bs. He abandoned her, when she needed him most. I can’t get passed the fact she kept it secret for so long and let the world not only misjudge but also mistreat her. And Justin never stood up for her? May the angels protect her. Britney please know ur little angel is always with you, always loving you. You are not alone, you were strong then and you are strong now. We love you and your unborn. Congratulations to you for sharing their story with us, we mourn with you now, you no longer have to mourn alone.
yea truly sad! at the end, she ended watching someone holding her new born baby while Brittany slowly moving her hands to her belly thinking that this could've been her holding her baby
We’re talking about the same Justin Timberlake who let Janet Jackson take the fall for the “wardrobe malfunction” . She was bullied while Justin just got more popular.
I am so proud of Britney!! It’s not easy to open up and share something so private and vulnerable. I hope she gets the support she needs during this time and celebrates her freedom of speech!!
Rewatching all her videos and listening to her songs. She was trying to tell the world for a long time through music. The control, the sadness, how she didn’t have a voice. Not even when it came to being pregnant, she deserves so much more
Yeah, this song and music video appears that Britney Spears was repentant, and sad that she murdered her unborn child. That's why this music video is so dramatic at the end. The blood represents her unborn child, and the life they missed on earth. If she's fully with Jesus, she'll see the child again in Heaven.
Really danny you are an absolute uneducated idiot, why would you say that about her, ok i get it dont worry everyone hes jeaulous of her cuz if hes in vegas playing a slot he only has 2 7s on the reel, thats a terrible comment, do you think your life will be better however that username is even? how dare you tho i hope she never seen your face, this is public comments but iam serious!
I still remember the concert when she went on tour and hit Portland Oregon. She explained that she wrote this song and is debuting it, she was singing this song LIVE and with piano. She might have even been the one playing piano. It was so unlike all the other songs she performed that were understandably prerecorded and accompanied by dancing, glitz and glam. This was a serious song.
We stand with you, Britney!!! You've been a huge influence in my life since I was a teen. Thank you for being yourself and showing us the truth! You are light upon this world. ❤️✨
This was always one of her deepest songs even when it was a mystery what it was all about; like the tabloids targeting her is obvious but the baby and her seemingly suicide attempt in the video made no sense back then but was haunting. Now, we can all see Britney had always been haunted by that abortion and also that JT made her get it. I don't totally hate him because these are 2 legends of my childhood but they held a lot of secrets, especially Brit. The line " I make believe that you are here" must be about the neverborn baby 😢
@@AntajuanGrady yeah i came to watch this cuz i'd never seen it before wondering like 'it cant be that obvious, people must be kinda drawing conclusions and doing some deep dive detective shit' but no this is pretty damn blatantly about that abortion...wow.
Stop with this I stand with. Stand for yourself. Think for yourself don’t take something as facts because someone/anyone doesn’t matter who says something explore both sides educate yourself without bias.This is incredibly sad tho and I do feel for Britney this cut deep
@@HallOf-Mirrors you are indeed right that one should always go through both the sides before making up any conclusions but I really don't think there is any other side to this story we understand that both of them were young at that time, and he didn't want any responsibility but why was it difficult to explore a different option they could have simply split up atm and she could have carried the kid on her own like she wanted. Why was she coerced into going through an abortion? it is indeed a different story if she is lying about all this but that does not seem to be the case, she is not a mastermind to just write a song about an unborn baby and just wait to drop the bomb 14 years later. If she just had to ruin his reputation, she could have dropped this news when they had split up or when there were scandals about him. anyway, this is in the past so let's just move on and just wish for the lost child and how for a better future for Britney.
This is one of the most amazing songs or ballads. The piano starts slowly, then the intensity increases, and tabla-like percussion instruments are played to back up the song's beauty. Twenty years later, many songs have come, but this song still creates an impact. It is an amazing combination of music, voice, and lyrics. Kudos 👏 team
Hurts me so much. She was torture throughout her life. However she had to keep smiling. Worse is that the people she through protected her, killed the light and happiness in her 🥺🥺
Absolutely heartbreaking. Full body chills watching this film clip now. You can really see the pain in her eyes. We love you so much Britney and I’m so sorry you were treated this way. I really hope you find happiness in this life, lord knows you deserve it more than anyone. After people were so cruel to you, you still remain kind and sweet. ❤
@polytasking8562 lol who hurt you? to be responding to multiple comments on this video like that... obviously you clicked on this video for a reason recently right, maybe you should "get over it 😂"
A vida da Britney foi um verdadeiro pesadelo. Admiro muito a coragem que ela teve pra enfrentar tudo isso. Eu não teria aguentado nem 1/3 do que ela aguentou. BRITNEY NÓS TE AMAMOS.
Here, like everyone else, listening to this with a new perspective. Crying my eyes out screaming. I, too, lost my baby because a man wanted me too and I was to young to know I had other options. This has always been my favorite by Britney and now it makes sense. I'll have this on repeat for awhile thinking of what my unborn child would be like today. What could have been. Oh Britney, you've done it again to us. Pulling at our heartstrings. 😢
This is my favorite song and to find out the true meaning of it breaks my heart. I too have this song on repeat for her. She truly is an amazing soul and deserves better. I too, lost a child. He chose to leave this world before entering it. He was born sleeping at 9 months. 16 ¹/² years later and I still cry for my son. Sending you lots of love and hugs. 🫂
Same been listening to this crying all day, I've had 4 abortions for a number of reasons, one of them only a few months ago, I never really think of them that much but after this story came out been thinking and feeling sad all day 😢
This song sums me up right now in this moment 💞 I cant what happened to you Brit. My heart crys with you 💞 Find peace beautiful soul ❣️ What im doing and it sucks
@@maryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa687 she isn't free right now. she's under a heavy contract that she's attempted to lift but she's unable to. basically her dad controls everything she does and she's always being monitored. she literally can't do anything without his permission and she is a grown woman with KIDS. it's heartbreaking because she wants to be freed, but she can't because the court ruled that she "isn't ready" or something. I highly suggest watching the documentary. I haven't seen it but i've only heard good from it
I never followed her because I always felt she was being exploited and I was not going to watch that but now knowing her story, wow, this is freaking so sad. All of it. I hope she's safe somewhere. That fact that this was Happening in front of her fans and she put clues everywhere is wild to me that they didn't figure this out. That lady needed help and no one helped her. 😢
I'm tearing up at this video now. It always made me very emotional even back then, but I hate that she was going through so much at that time. The world and Justin Timberlake were so cruel to her. Britney will always be the #1 pop princess to me, and I hope she finally finds peace and healing.
this is lesson for western societies. Do not peddle with materialism (fame, money, or any sort of dopamine chase). This is not rare thing in HW. At all actually. I can't name 5% persons that are healthy in mind there. Not to mention body. You are not growing up with BS. You are growing up with your closest ones. Our idols are our parents, our brothers/sisters, our closest ones. That are there for us no matter how little or rare they show us love/respect. Not people on TV.
@kaoticghost-whitererun7539 agreed none of us have had to go through even half of the hell she has, but I think (just an assumption) she means the giving up a pregnancy because of pressure. Not able to, or believe you are not able to make the choices you want because somone else ( family/boyfriends ) want you to do what they want you to do.
@@Filip-dg6uk everyone around her took advantage of her and didn't look out for her...they were supposed to be her piers...people to look out for her and guide her
With what we know now, this video is yet another testament of Britney's overlooked artistry and vision. You've endured so much and still have given so much to your fans. I will love you everytime Britney. ❤ Forever and always.
This is still her best song ever, she wrote it herself and she s looking very good. She sings natural, not sexy. It stays good even after all those years.
Absolutely💕💓💓💕 Masterpiece Of beautiful darlin love One Of BeautifulB Greatest memories Filled with A sweet ♥️heart that Noone can. Take Away from her gorgeous talents gifts!💖May yall have sweetest day nite take care✨ sweet❤️heart💋✨
knowing what we know now only makes this beautifully written and haunting song so much more heartbreaking. sending Britney so much love and support ahead of her book release in the coming week. we love and support you through your healing, always and forever Brit.
That video was such a huge cry for help. So many people have really let this girl down... I honestly think it’s a miracle she survived that period. I’m glad she’s better now... or at least better than she was. some people are in the same situation
I'm SO FUCKING GLAD SHE IS SO STRONG i hope she is free someday and she loves a happy life 💛 I feel for her so much I grew up in a constantly abusive trapping life and early adulthood. All I want to do is change my life and I wish that God gives her the amazing beautiful free life she absolutely deserves she was too good for Hollywood. They killed her
@@banani7807 hey, listen to justin Timberlake melodies about her and britney’s song. She is respectful and, even though she did nothing and had every right to be super annoyed at him, she did this song and never replied back in public. Watch Framing Britney Spears to see that it all was a lie
Esta canción marcó mis primeros años de conexión con la música, fue uno de los primeros CD's que tuve. Recuerdo repetirla una y otra vez para poder aprenderme la letra, siendo Argentina, no entendía nada de inglés y aún así su melodía, su voz, todo lograba transmitirme melancolía y a pesar de que me encantaba, más de una vez terminaba cantando y llorando. Después de tantos años entendemos la verdad detrás de esta melodía y su letra. Gracias Britney por tu arte, marcaste la vida de toda una generación.
I feel so sorry for her, and the fact that she was holding so much in her heart with no one to listen because she felt lonely. No doubt money is not everything in the world, this beautiful lady had money but not what every human being deserves which is happiness and peace. I hope one day she heals. ❤🕊️
This is the first song that Britney created all by herself, even the beautiful piano melody. And it's one of the most incredible things of her career, she should create more. I'm sick of songs about partying and sex.
This song is 20 years old and now we know the true story behind it, and it's the 1st time I teared up. She didn't deserve this, she only deserves love
ojala sea un nuevo comienzo para ella, que pueda gritarle al mundo el amor que siente por su hija y sanar su corazón
It's so damn sad
Same. Crying watching this right now
Same, I came here to watch the video after finding out and I’m sitting here crying 😭 💔
Yall are so delusional. This song was not about a baby… why would she tell the baby “you seem to move on easy”?
Britney has such a beautiful kind soul. She did not deserve to go through so much pain and suffering in her life. The fact she still gets up every day and smiles, is true courage. I will always stand by Britney’s side ❤😢
I agree
Justin didn’t deserve the pain he went through either. I’m glad they both respect each other now. Also glad they stick up for one another.
😢🤍
@@jenn_81stfu he used her.
@@jenn_81Get out of here. People like you are the worst. You either are with us and Brit or you are on Justins side. You can’t support both. Pick a side.
Free Britney

Won't happen! Once you are in the industry there is no way out.
@@biokomalabo9468 with media attention small changes have already been made, you need to open your eyes and realize we are those who can help her in the end.
T’en pense quoi des excuses de Justin Timberlake?
yes #freebritney 💔💔💔😔
" I guess I need you baby " ... it's so meaningful after knowing the story
My gosh, I didn’t even think of that layer to the actual word. 😢
Absolutely... Ik the pain sadly 4x over... I try to tell myself that everything happens for a reason. But why would God or whoever take babies away. I have 4 baby angels in heaven waiting for me when it's my time to be with them. This song makes me cry especially knowing Britney went through so much as well. 😢
... No 8ne wanted me, no one cares..
whats the story?
@@Simbathepersiancat That scumbag of JT forced her to get abortion
She was telling her story the whole time. My heart breaks for Britney. I see clearly the tipping point of her spiral downwards. Wishing her love, peace and healing 🙏 ✨️
She couldn't say the words but she put them in a song -brilliant but also very sad
She was trying to tell us for 20 years. :( So sad to hear it now after knowing she went through it all alone.
Did you come here to watch after what we heard about JT? If so, same. Hits different now.
3:48 she’s reaching for her stomach while the mother hold a her own baby 🥺🥺🥺
@@everybodysayparty I hadn't noticed that before 🥺
Let's get this song to number 1 again ❤
Yeeees
Yes!
YEYYYYY
Everything makes sense!! What a song! Yes!!! ❤
Nice!
2021????🖤
Hi how are you? I'm fromm germany 🇩🇪 I love america
2021!!!!!
yes！！ im come form Malaysia
Hii I'm from Indonesia
Hi I'm from Italy!!
These baby mobile sounds in the song are outstanding, what a euphony, what a brilliant music production. So beautiful and touching. Love it so much❤
After all these years, this song starts to make sense to me, and I can't stop myself from shedding tears. Britney, stay strong. We are all here for you.
Let it out love cry sometimes crying is the only medicine you need i only wish i was there to hold you 🫂
According to Britney's autobiography, she wrote the song for the baby she was forced to abort when she was Nineteen. So sad knowing now what this song actually meant.
@@usfanlovesminho5085I finally understand what she went through she had nobody to protect her I cry every time I hear this song she didn't deserve none of that
😢❤
Beyond heartbreaking!
This song always sounded like a lullaby to me. I used to play it to my kids when they were babies to soothe them to sleep. It worked perfectly...
Now it's clear who this lullaby was actually dedicated to 💔
She felt remorse am sure. She would have kept her baby, but the pressure...
So true😢😢
It isn't about her baby. It was about a break up between her and Justin. The co writer said she was going through a break up too.
@@Iowaborn14 It's obviously about both. She was dealing with both those things. Of course she may have told the cowriter only about the breakup and not the abortion, she didn't want the abortion to get out to the public and even if she trusted the cowriter, she was probably very guilty and ashamed about it.
It could also symbolize rebirth as one life passes a new one enters into the world showing the human life cycle 😞❤️sad and beautiful ❤❤❤
When she said "my weakness caused you pain and this songs my sorry" i cried because when this song came out i was 12 and was so confused because this is not her style of music but now we know who it was meant for. I hope she heals and recovers mentally and physically. We are with you Brit ❤
Yup. The song was written for and about Dan Keeley.
@@CountryCruiser who
Everything makes sense... specially why there's a Lullaby in the song
this how I feel . I didnt understand either 😭😭
@gtxoiltastebad Britneys backup dancer helped write the song, it was about her breakup at the time to Dan Kenny
I always loved her. Knowing the backround makes it so much more intense.
This song makes perfect sense after 20 years. A true artist. So sad, but so beautiful in a sense that we all didn't know her demons. When this song came out, it was so unlike of her other songs & made me think "What is going on here?" It is definitely her masterpiece. An apologetic song to her unborn child, whom she gave her virginity to the love of her life, only to be screwed over by him & her family. It's very tragic.
You are so so so right with that comment! This is her touching masterpiece and I feel so proud of her she even menaged not to blame anyone by this song. How strong a person can be. Thank you for this comment❤ ❤❤❤
😢😢

Justin messed you up. Daaaang
no sympathy for evil ppl aborting their child
When this video came out, it didn't make too much sense to me but I could feel her sadness and sorrow. But now it's all so clear. It all makes sense. The lyrics all make sense. The scenes in the video all make sense. We see you, Britney. We never stopped loving you.
100% agree with you. It was always a beautiful heartfelt song but makes so much more sense now instead of it being about a lover or partner and needing them/mourning them.
This video was a message to a specific person and I think we all know his name.
@@MellySnow711 yup and show how medias always attack her regardless. I know we kind of blaming on the man right now but she was old enough to make a decision for her own and unfortunately she agreed with the man decision. Just like she did whatever her father told her despite being adult. I do feel for her though and hope she finds peace now that the truth is out.
Yes made sense then and makes sense now…reincarnation is the baby ref but we can reach and just say it means something else 😳
It took this long to realize
I vividly remember the first time I saw this video and thinking it sounded like a terribly sad lullaby.
And with all we've learned, I can't help but believe she wrote this for her baby while she was navigating through grief.
This woman is so much stronger than any of us realized back then. I'm so happy she has her voice back.
yeah the first time i heard i felt it sounded like a lullaby, but i thought it's just another ballad which sounds like a lullaby as it's pretty common for a ballad to sound like a lullaby
She didn’t. She’s confirmed it was just about her breakup. The lullaby type sound is simply because she had relatively rudimentary piano skills. It adds a beautifully haunting layer to the song, but that is just a coincidence. Her and her cowriter confirmed it was not about her abortion and that Britney had no say in the video concept.
I think some people have forgotten how beautiful Britney Spears actually was
I will never look at this song the same again. I cried throughout the entire thing. We love you, Britney. ❤️
Yeah…this was a hard one! I loved the song years ago. Never watched the video. Now knowing what I know…I have no words. I even heard her apologize to him a few times in the song. Now, it makes “cry me a river” seem heartless and cold! Yes she might have cheated but it seems like he made her feel like garbage in this relationship! 😢
huhu i cried
I watched again having watched it when i was young. Given the new context, i sobbed.
@@illrawbsame here 😔🙏🏻
Me too -sobbing
This melody of this song even sounds like a soft lullaby for a Baby. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just commenting on the melody: just because it sounds gentle doesn't mean you have to relate it to lullaby. From what I've learned, the piano harmony is just classical material( but well put for a pop song)
@@Funforkthe song is about an abortion she didn’t want the lullaby is on purpose
@@vivi-ml6pj "why carry on without me", "you seem to move on easy" etc mean it's also about breakup. Musically, this harmony is abundant in classical music and depicts something gentle/sad in general. It is just how music works and how a harmony can be used in several contexts. Most musicians are gonna welcome freedom of interpretation even. If your ability to imagine is limited, it is your own problem. PS: the occasional heavy kicks e.g before and in the chorus e.g 2:05 are too dramatic for lullaby. There's the whole song and yet some people talk like they hear only the soft intro and the lyrics and don't give a damn about other instruments. Have some more listen pls.
You're right. To me it always sounded like a music box, as a small child I had a little jewelry box that had a wind up music box with a little ballerina that would twirl inside when you'd wind it up and it would play a similar melody to that song. I always thought this song was pretty clever of her. Now though, it says a lot.
❤❤💯💯💯 It's truly a lullaby melody 😔❤️
This song takes on a whole new meaning now. Even the melody is like a lullaby.
Knowing all that this lady has been through, this tears at my heart. I want to wrap her up, give her a hug and tell her we're all proud of her for overcoming so much
Even the melody sounds a lot like a lullaby. This breaks me heart so bad. I’ve had a miscarriage a year ago and I understand the amount of pain it causes to a woman. It’s devastating. It’s lonely, it’s soul crushing. She’s a warrior. We stand with you Brit. ❤
according to the book she wasnt havingn a miscarriage she had an abortion
@@AFN12315I think the person is saying that they just relate to losing a baby not saying that Britney also had a miscarriage
@@AFN12315 I know that. I didn’t say she had a miscarriage, I said I did. The feeling of going through an abortion and a miscarriage is pretty much the same. The loneliness, the pain..the chemical effects in your body, specifically if she didn’t want to abort, which was the case. JT is a monster for making her go through that.
@@AFN12315miscarriage or abortion-it’s child loss. She wanted the baby and Justin wasn’t ready and she had an abortion- she noted it still haunts her to this day. I understand how she feels when she says that
@@RafaGomesCinema I'm sorry, did he hold a gun to her head and make her get an abortion? No. He said "I don't want to have a kid yet", at 19! Ultimately, it was her decision. If she had been dead set against it, then she wouldn't have had an abortion. She agreed with him (probably from a combination of 'he doesn't want it', 'We're 19!', 'What about our careers' and, of course, 'Oh, no. I'm still pretending to be a virgin! Now everyone will know I've been lying') Now he's married with two children and she's 3 times divorced and her two children want nothing to do with her. Could it be she's just a little bit jealous that his life is going so much better than hers?
After all this years i get the real meaning of this clip right now and it is so heartbreaking. Britney was waaay stronger than we thought. You deserve whole world Britney.
When she sings "What have I done?" kills me. It's easy to say it was both of their choice. She didn't feel supported and she was a young girl without a single person to truly show her the way. Her parents exploited her and the love of her life didn't do any better. I really feel for this girl. I wish I could hug her. I can't imagine her pain. I'm happy she's letting it out.
Everyone is different. Some people feel relief after an abortion. Why assume everyone is the same and reacts the same?
@@alicjagodlewska1059 shut up.. we talking about britney not everyone else..
@@alicjagodlewska1059because she wrote a book about it…
@@alicjagodlewska1059I don't think it's an assumption based on the fact that Britney wrote about her pain and regret from it
@@alicjagodlewska1059she’s not saying everyone is the same. She’s just stating an opinion. And by “relief” after an abortion, seems to me Britney didn’t want to abort. Only did it to make Justin happy. And I understand he has a say in it too but the way he went about things after wasn’t cool.
This song is about regret, heartache, and the complexity of relationships, which makes it feel very personal. Britney's soft, delicate vocal delivery adds an intimate, almost sorrowful layer to the track, making it the most beautiful song on the track.
This is about her abortion and how Justin Timberlake (and everyone around else) pressured her into getting one, which she still regrets to this day. There are literally baby toy noises in first ten seconds and throughout the video ):
@@suoutubez19the co writer of this song said it was about a breakup she had and she didn't know about that abortion when the song was written
If you are reading this Britney, I would like you to know that an entire army of people love and support you ENDLESSLY!! You are INCREDIBLE STRONG!!
You don't have nothing from virtual support. It counts only in real life. American life at the end it really sucks. Money drain your soul.
Unfortunately, for the place where Britney is, it means nothing, her family have betrayed her. I doubt she has any true friends.
Us little girls who grew up on Britney and loved her are adults now, most of us are probably mothers. And im sure collectively, our hearts break for Britney and the woman she could have been if not for these wicked people in her life.
Yea I agree with you so heartbreaking 💔 she deserves so much better
Britney is the only artist I admire and like, so heartbreaking for her, I hope she finds peace in her life, she deserves it,...she is and always be the only pop princess
Father here! And I agree!
😢💔😔💕
She's my childhood hero. We love so much, Britney❤
This song explains a lot of what Britney was going through at the time. I’m glad she is finally got to tell her story in her new memoir. Britney is so strong, brave, and resilient.
My heart absolutely breaks for Britney. She was subtly telling her story. This woman deserves the world for how cruel those closest to her were to her ❤
😢❤
Perfectly said❤ Agree with this soo much!
Everyone rewatching this video now knowing what it means 20 years later. Britney, I am so sorry. I love you ❤
20 tahun lalu mendengar ini tidak tahu lagu ini tentang bayinya yang diaborsi😢semua lagu britney hapal diluar kepala.baru ini menangis mendengar lagu ini.dulu tidak mengerti kenapa ada bayi dan dia diam .justin toxic.keluarganya.sangat memyedihkan.britney semoga kau bahagia hari ini dan selamanya❤
u said it. it really pisses me off that pretty much every single person even her own family & especially the stupid damn paparazzi treated her like shit, teased her, picked on her & made her miserable every single day 4 no damn reason
I really can’t even imagine how much stuff this woman had to go through… she’s SO strong and an example of bravery.
A true fighter for her freedom!
I have been a fan since I was little and I’ll never stop supporting you, Brit! ❤
I am so sad knowing what she passed thought but we are here for her... forever ❤
It took this long for people to realize and understand she is human just like us
Same
It's 2023 & I'm here with a new perspective 😩💔 It's not easy losing a child no matter how it happened. This woman struggles everyday with her choice and being silenced. I'm so sorry Britney.
same! and this video fits perfectly! Medias continue to attack her decades regardless if she's right or wrong but it's always "It's Brittany, It's Brittany". She is a strong woman and She's been through a lot mentally, with her dad, break ups and recently divorced. Among all that have to live like this for 20 years and this will forever haunt her knowing that she have 2 young adult sons without a father. I do feel for her though
now i hate Timberlake for this... 😭😭 we love you britney 😢

do not forget that she herself is responsible for her actions, she would not have survived this if she had chosen a different path. Forgiveness and inner peace is the great blessing of the song of repentance. I wish her happiness and inner peace.

Обидно , что мир так и не получил их ребенка 😩♥️
Can I buy it from you
@@Anastasia-ex7iw let’s not forget that she was a child. Her parents lead her astray for their own financial gain. They ensured she had the bare minimum education from 14 onward because she was their cash cow just needed to perform. They allowed her to be put In adult situations that she was not mature enough to be in, and when she did get older, she never learned how to ease her way into anything because she was thrown into adulthood and missed that experimental time of her life. She was 16 when her first album was released. Before that she worked for Disney as a stage performing Mouseketeer. So yes, you’re right, she made choices, but only look at the circumstances that led her to make the type of choices that she made, None of us can fully understand the impact of being a super celebrity at such a young age.
God bless u Britney❤
This song was so sad back then. Now? It’s heartbreaking.
YES

I know. If only Britney and Justin had gotten married.
It's not right what they are doing to Britney free her

Not to be dark, but after everything Britney has been through, I’m surprised she’s not dead. She has a soul made of steel and unfathomable strength. Free Britney.
she's alive because of her kids, she loves them so much.
@@codezero7981 she had 2 suicide attempts when both of her songs where born so
Maybe she was thinking to kill herself with this video clip years ago means she was not ok for many years, poor Britney.
I’m surprised as well! My biggest fear is if Britney is free.. she is officially a walking target. Everybody that is trying to keep her hush hush will want her dead. I mean she is the key to end this conservatorship and exposed Hollywood!
A truly strong spirit.
People let’s get this song to number one for Britney !! She deserves it . The lyrics and video are just amazing to me even 50 yrs later it will still be iconic
on repeat every night
But I think same.. Tho Im an guy..
Alguien en 2025?? Esta canción me destruye completamente 💔 te amo Britney con todo mi ser..
I’m in tears knowing she tried to tell us so much and was hurting so badly in silence, while JT was living his life as though nothing happened, throwing her to the media wolves. This world owes Britney some love right now.
You need ro also remember her and Justin were still only young. They were both put under a lot of pressure from a young age, their relationship was constantly all over the media, who knows who else was all up in their relationship at the time too, influencing whom knows what. We are only hearing one side to this too. Justin has also admitted to many past mistakes, that he regrets and states he was very arrogant back then. People are constantly on the blame Justin train for everything. We now glorify Brits past mistakes due to mental health, and Justin still cops backlash. For all we know Justin was suffering mentally too and suffered in silence, because back then and still now Men could be considered weak if they spoke up.
@@ashroma8103 he did her dirty and that has been my opinion long before this came out. I hope that boy’s mother gave him a good long lesson on how disgraceful he was to speak about Britney the way that he did on Howard Stern, considering his mother 100% knew about the baby. Britney had been sexually harassed about her virginity in the public eye, and this guy goes and tells secrets that are not all his to tell to smear her.Britney had grace and kept their business private for many, many years. I think Justin owes it to her to allow her to tell this part of it and live with the reactions. Unlike Justin, Britney isn’t doing this to be malicious and destroy him. She could have done that a decade ago or sooner. She’s doing this for healing.
@@ashroma8103he gloated for ten years after their break up about taking her virginity and her mentall struggles. He's a stupid manchild who only now can feel the consequences of his actions. What goes around comes around, justin (another in your face song about britney going "crazy")
@@ashroma8103 He did the same to Janet by throwing her to the wolves. It's all documented. He shifted the blame to Janet and her career tanked because of it. He had no issue with making money by dragging Britney in interviews and in songs. He then threw the woman he was photographed with on the balcony in New Orleans under the bus as well. This man-child has no issue in using or throwing women to the sharks if he comes out looking like the ~victim~
💯💯💯💯
“I make-believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done? “
It all makes sense why this song felt completely different. A sad lullaby that was much deeper than we every could have imagined. Thank you for sharing your truth Britney.
and the fact that the baby's face is haunting her :'(
I can’t stop crying 😭
That part really got me. Then the newborn baby at the end of the video. 😢
No one understands what it's like to make that choice unless you've been through it yourself.
Even when you know it's for the best the aftermath isn't always easy. I can't even imagine how she felt when she actually wanted a family.
@@ivoryandgold88 you know whats sadder, maybe just maybe, she wanted a family of her own at that time so she could feel free-ier...starting her own so she could be away from her own fam, her agency...but man, people around her...even her fuckin lover at that time I don't wanna name, they all suck so much....
Let’s get her to number one…she deserves it!♥️

She's nuts so am I, people who have mental illness usually it's because they've been through a lot!
Wow….this brings tears to my eyes knowing now what it truly means. In retrospect a lot of her songs are hitting different now that we know what they are really about. They sound and hit even better now. Love Britney Spears for a very long time now. She has always been telling us what she has been going through her music.
Like her song work bitch.. I like the song, but it pisses me off because that's two words she's probably heard so many damn times just so others could steal and take so much from her..
It's not about the abortion. She wrote this song after her breakup with Justin (the abortion had happened 2 years before) and she said multiple times this song was about romantic love and heartbreak.
@@moomoos8sweetsThat may have been the story she told then, and maybe she tried to make the video look that way, and the song ambiguous, but the final scene, focusing on a baby's face, paired with the blood on her hands in the tub, tells me this was definitely about the abortion. It may well be what eventually drove them to break up, tbh. Every time she saw him, she remembered her regret, and her unborn child. I know I'd have a hard time staying in that relationship.
@@Shadowkat0326 it’s a theory but we just don’t know, she never confirmed it was about the abortion. If she does, then ok but for now we don’t know. Or there could be hints to the abortion in the video but the song is still about the breakup. People just assuming now that the whole song was written for the unborn child is insane (and honestly if that’s the case, the lyrics don’t make sense). Also when it comes to video clips, it’s the director who makes the decisions of what happens in it.. and noone knew about that abortion except for her and Justin she said. They said the ending of the video clip was supposed to be something different (she died or sthg) but it was too dark so they changed it.
She confirms it in the book.
Knowing the real meaning behind this song now made me break down listen to it. Im writing this with tears in my eyes so much I can hardly see what im typing. I dont even want kids myself but I can really feel Britneys pain and longing for the child she lost. I always loved this song, but now I love it even more. My favourite Britney song, and I feel so incredible sorry for her.... She totally deserves a baby girl.
@@justabebe
It’s about that and the loss of her baby.
Your comment made my eyes water up along with the video with it all coming into perspective knowing what we know now. There's a lot of queens in the music industry, but she is THEE QUEEN. I don't believe anyone else in the industry could survive what she has endured.
Best pop ballads ever
Britney experienced her loss, wrote about it, and then kept it within her for so long. This song is a true masterpiece, and knowing the true meaning behind it just strengthens my love for Britney, and this song, even more. May her beautiful soul find some sort of peace. She didn't deserve what she went through.
I think a lot of people owe Britney a big apology. She deserves happiness and her freedom.
I hope when she’s better we hear more music from her, a free Britney
lmao she owes herself an apology, the biggest one
A HUGE Apology!!! Do you, K-Fed, Timber-nothing-, all of her family, court, judges and what's her name, get on your knees and beg for forgiveness. What goes around, comes around Daddy dearest!
@@360.Tapestry, meaning?
K fed is a horrible father, husband, and person… wish people saw the obvious
Everyone I listed used her as their own ATM while they kept her working. They all will have to answer for what they did concerning the 14 yrs she was completely controlled by her Daddy Jamie. I can't believe what they did to her. Another Daddy, K-Fed should get on his knees and beg for forgiveness. He took 14 yrs away from seeing her boys. That is all she wanted. So again we now know why everything happened. Timberfake can go to hell for what he did to Britney and Janet J. Now the big secret is where is his "secret" daughter? The anti-abortion ppl should be all over him. Now do I need to say more?
This song should go #1. She deserves it!
I'm still going back to this video as my new education of Britney Spears at 56..wanting to be a good and decent dad to my son. She struck a chord in me..all those who made this song did tremendous work truly changing many folks hearts and minds about who this woman is. I want her out of her darkness and into the light of millions if not billions who do still love and remember her. I dont believe in that Instagram page...I believe in her heart and soul are just. God Bless her on this day and always!
She told us in such an obvious way. I couldn’t imagine. I always thought the baby in this video symbolized something so much more. The lyrics “this songs my sorry” and “ I dream I see your face, it’s haunting me”.
This song is more relevant than ever right now in her life.
Literally so so sad watching this now
@@uphillchill6975
I listen to this song whenever I feel emotional and sad, and I cry every single time.
Why? What happened to her?
yas it’s been happening, she’s been under a conservatorship with her dad for about 13 years, she has literally no control over her life, she can’t vote or even go get Starbucks without permission. There’s a ton to get into with it though, look up #freebritney
This song has and still is relevant about her life. She’s always been screaming for help.
Sending her angels for back then as well as today. She is a true artist. She knew what this song and video was about, and she let the world speculate it was about her killing herself and really it was regretting and morning her unborn baby. About the father now caring, not noticing her or her pain, how easy he moved on. That she hadn’t moved on, even with the magnifying glass the world had on her then. She kept that secret THIS long, God bless her. She is a class act. Justin should be on his knees fighting tooth and nail to help her out of this conservatoryship bs. He abandoned her, when she needed him most. I can’t get passed the fact she kept it secret for so long and let the world not only misjudge but also mistreat her. And Justin never stood up for her? May the angels protect her. Britney please know ur little angel is always with you, always loving you. You are not alone, you were strong then and you are strong now. We love you and your unborn. Congratulations to you for sharing their story with us, we mourn with you now, you no longer have to mourn alone.
this is beautifully said.
Beautiful message ❤️
yea truly sad! at the end, she ended watching someone holding her new born baby while Brittany slowly moving her hands to her belly thinking that this could've been her holding her baby
Justin solo se aprovechó y se burló de ella, se merece una gran funa
We’re talking about the same Justin Timberlake who let Janet Jackson take the fall for the “wardrobe malfunction” . She was bullied while Justin just got more popular.
Her pain will never go away. No one can help her. We can only pray. We love you.
Please forgive me 🙏
I can
Probably her best song vocally...
***** You say that because you don't know her discography at all. Just go through some songs you'll see what I mean.
***** In my opinion, her best song vocally is Luv the hurt away. You should listen to it!
***** Listen her song called "Shadow" you would love it!
AmandaMenghe are u stupid she sounds perfect
her best vocals on a released track is probably Where are you now, but on all songs it'd be Everyday (unreleased)
I am so proud of Britney!! It’s not easy to open up and share something so private and vulnerable. I hope she gets the support she needs during this time and celebrates her freedom of speech!!
Crazy how Everyone goes back to Britney during a world wide pandemic. #freebritney
I did
I did
Yes
you didn't lie
Damn ☝😎
3:53 after the scene where theres a baby, Britney looks so beautiful (she always is beautiful tho)
Her soul was so pure and everybody took advantage of her...she deserve only happiness...we love you Britney❤
Rewatching all her videos and listening to her songs. She was trying to tell the world for a long time through music. The control, the sadness, how she didn’t have a voice. Not even when it came to being pregnant, she deserves so much more
Did you find anymore clues?
Specially, in Overprotected.
Yeah, this song and music video appears that Britney Spears was repentant, and sad that she murdered her unborn child. That's why this music video is so dramatic at the end. The blood represents her unborn child, and the life they missed on earth. If she's fully with Jesus, she'll see the child again in Heaven.
If you say so. Someone wrote this song and probably has nothing to do with her at all.
Britney wrote this song,but it was her apology to Justin, not a baby. @@ebogar42
There will never be another Britney Spears.
I hope there isn’t. The world doesn’t deserve another Britney.
jaida this world destroyed her.
The one and only.
Yes she has become a legend
Really danny you are an absolute uneducated idiot, why would you say that about her, ok i get it dont worry everyone hes jeaulous of her cuz if hes in vegas playing a slot he only has 2 7s on the reel, thats a terrible comment, do you think your life will be better however that username is even? how dare you tho i hope she never seen your face, this is public comments but iam serious!
Now after hearing what has all happened... the scenes of a mother and baby bring tears to my eyes... Britney must have missed her baby so much.
This scene had me sobbing
The fact that Britney wrote this song, and it was her first written song is amazing.
I didnt know that
It isn’t her first written song 😉
This song was about the baby she aborted prayers to her and the unborn kid..
I still remember the concert when she went on tour and hit Portland Oregon. She explained that she wrote this song and is debuting it, she was singing this song LIVE and with piano. She might have even been the one playing piano. It was so unlike all the other songs she performed that were understandably prerecorded and accompanied by dancing, glitz and glam. This was a serious song.

Unless she said something otherwise
We stand with you, Britney!!! You've been a huge influence in my life since I was a teen. Thank you for being yourself and showing us the truth! You are light upon this world. ❤️✨
Cómo no nos dimos cuenta antes, gritaba por ayuda 😭😭
This hits different as an adult
Lookie Loo everyone comments this stuff as if they are so wise
@@Lonepreacher wiser than when we were teens
As a teen during that time, I got scared by this video. I honestly thouth this was a suicide note.
GloomyRain sure people are getting more stupid every day
On god it does
This is such a beautiful song that has always made me tear up😢
Oh Britney! After all these years it’s all makes sense 😞 I have tears in my eyes. Let’s bring this masterpiece back to billboard again ❤
This was always one of her deepest songs even when it was a mystery what it was all about; like the tabloids targeting her is obvious but the baby and her seemingly suicide attempt in the video made no sense back then but was haunting. Now, we can all see Britney had always been haunted by that abortion and also that JT made her get it. I don't totally hate him because these are 2 legends of my childhood but they held a lot of secrets, especially Brit. The line " I make believe that you are here" must be about the neverborn baby 😢
Agree, hopefully she would comeback doing something for herself to get better again. ❤
@@AntajuanGrady yeah i came to watch this cuz i'd never seen it before wondering like 'it cant be that obvious, people must be kinda drawing conclusions and doing some deep dive detective shit' but no this is pretty damn blatantly about that abortion...wow.
😢❤
Britney is an icon! She didn’t deserve any of this. I stand with Britney and I hope all of us can make this song go number 1!
Stop with this I stand with. Stand for yourself. Think for yourself don’t take something as facts because someone/anyone doesn’t matter who says something explore both sides educate yourself without bias.This is incredibly sad tho and I do feel for Britney this cut deep
I hope so😢
@@HallOf-Mirrors you are indeed right that one should always go through both the sides before making up any conclusions but I really don't think there is any other side to this story we understand that both of them were young at that time, and he didn't want any responsibility but why was it difficult to explore a different option they could have simply split up atm and she could have carried the kid on her own like she wanted. Why was she coerced into going through an abortion? it is indeed a different story if she is lying about all this but that does not seem to be the case, she is not a mastermind to just write a song about an unborn baby and just wait to drop the bomb 14 years later. If she just had to ruin his reputation, she could have dropped this news when they had split up or when there were scandals about him. anyway, this is in the past so let's just move on and just wish for the lost child and how for a better future for Britney.
Working on it 😢
@@jurajvivana t
This is one of the most amazing songs or ballads. The piano starts slowly, then the intensity increases, and tabla-like percussion instruments are played to back up the song's beauty.
Twenty years later, many songs have come, but this song still creates an impact. It is an amazing combination of music, voice, and lyrics.
Kudos 👏 team
Sobbing after reading the book. I’ve loved Britney since I was a little girl, and I will always love her. ❤
Hurts me so much. She was torture throughout her life. However she had to keep smiling. Worse is that the people she through protected her, killed the light and happiness in her 🥺🥺
What’s the name of the book?
@@sandyaldana5071the woman in me

I'm reading it right now. Jaimie Lynn was born. Britney's so sweet. "Mama."
Absolutely heartbreaking. Full body chills watching this film clip now. You can really see the pain in her eyes. We love you so much Britney and I’m so sorry you were treated this way. I really hope you find happiness in this life, lord knows you deserve it more than anyone. After people were so cruel to you, you still remain kind and sweet. ❤
It is a directed video that was taken in zillion shots 😂😂😂 what pain in her eyes??? Damn you people are so simple
@polytasking8562 lol who hurt you? to be responding to multiple comments on this video like that... obviously you clicked on this video for a reason recently right, maybe you should "get over it 😂"
@@AmbiePea it’s clearly Justin Timberlake xx
@@lilosisboss no that’s your dad, in your case he wasn’t successful with abortion
I like britney spears since i was elementary school... all of her album i have bought
A vida da Britney foi um verdadeiro pesadelo. Admiro muito a coragem que ela teve pra enfrentar tudo isso. Eu não teria aguentado nem 1/3 do que ela aguentou. BRITNEY NÓS TE AMAMOS.
Ooh Britney make me cry😭😭
Not gonna lie, this song makes me tear up every time, darn it.
Lisa Moore same
Everytime
the video makes it even worse 😭
I always cry when I hear it and I can't hold my tears
dis song trash
I'm so sorry Britney. I'm just so sorry. No one should have to go through what you've endured. You're a warrior. Share your truth.
💯💯💯❤️🙏🏻
Here, like everyone else, listening to this with a new perspective. Crying my eyes out screaming. I, too, lost my baby because a man wanted me too and I was to young to know I had other options. This has always been my favorite by Britney and now it makes sense. I'll have this on repeat for awhile thinking of what my unborn child would be like today. What could have been. Oh Britney, you've done it again to us. Pulling at our heartstrings. 😢
I'm so sorry. Sending you love.
Same unfortunately
I'm so sorry you went through that 🙏🏻
This is my favorite song and to find out the true meaning of it breaks my heart. I too have this song on repeat for her. She truly is an amazing soul and deserves better. I too, lost a child. He chose to leave this world before entering it. He was born sleeping at 9 months. 16 ¹/² years later and I still cry for my son. Sending you lots of love and hugs. 🫂
Same been listening to this crying all day, I've had 4 abortions for a number of reasons, one of them only a few months ago, I never really think of them that much but after this story came out been thinking and feeling sad all day 😢
This song sums me up right now in this moment 💞
I cant what happened to you Brit. My heart crys with you 💞
Find peace beautiful soul ❣️
What im doing and it sucks
She is a strong woman. She deserves better. #FreeBritney
#FreeBritney
#FreeBritney
Why ?? What happened to her ? What her story ?
@@maryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa687 she isn't free right now. she's under a heavy contract that she's attempted to lift but she's unable to. basically her dad controls everything she does and she's always being monitored. she literally can't do anything without his permission and she is a grown woman with KIDS. it's heartbreaking because she wants to be freed, but she can't because the court ruled that she "isn't ready" or something. I highly suggest watching the documentary. I haven't seen it but i've only heard good from it
@@maryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa687 she’s being drugged and abused by her dad and team and they’ve been doing so for the last 13 years
We don’t deserve Britney. Shes always been so resilient. The fact she has survived all she’s been faced with….a miracle. Live your life in peace.
We dont deserve her AT ALL
Im not normally super emotional or a Britney fan but something about her singing for her baby is heartbreaking
Yep I guess this is a song for saying sorry for her baby..
I never followed her because I always felt she was being exploited and I was not going to watch that but now knowing her story, wow, this is freaking so sad. All of it. I hope she's safe somewhere. That fact that this was Happening in front of her fans and she put clues everywhere is wild to me that they didn't figure this out. That lady needed help and no one helped her. 😢
Word!
This song is actually ahead of its time
I'm tearing up at this video now. It always made me very emotional even back then, but I hate that she was going through so much at that time. The world and Justin Timberlake were so cruel to her. Britney will always be the #1 pop princess to me, and I hope she finally finds peace and healing.
My heart is broken just to imagine all this pain you’ve endured for 20 years. You’re a strong woman and I will always stand by you. Love you Britney
Im crying a lot😢
Keep playing, liking, sharing, reposting this songs on all sources, try get this song to #1 to show Britney our empathy, support and love.🌹🌹🌹

It was a 1 one, 20 years ago, its going to be again 🎉

Ugh god this song makes me cry every single time.
A lot of us girls who grew up with Britney went through the same things. Thank you Britney for being a voice for us.
this is lesson for western societies. Do not peddle with materialism (fame, money, or any sort of dopamine chase). This is not rare thing in HW. At all actually. I can't name 5% persons that are healthy in mind there. Not to mention body.
You are not growing up with BS. You are growing up with your closest ones. Our idols are our parents, our brothers/sisters, our closest ones. That are there for us no matter how little or rare they show us love/respect. Not people on TV.
no yall didnt stop it
@kaoticghost-whitererun7539 agreed none of us have had to go through even half of the hell she has, but I think (just an assumption) she means the giving up a pregnancy because of pressure. Not able to, or believe you are not able to make the choices you want because somone else ( family/boyfriends ) want you to do what they want you to do.
@@Filip-dg6uk everyone around her took advantage of her and didn't look out for her...they were supposed to be her piers...people to look out for her and guide her
@@Katiecs she didn't get the support she needed...shame on them
This is probably the Britney's deepest song. I can feel the pain
Dude, same here!
Agreed. How are you doing?
Good Afternoon❤
Lucky is pretty deep too T-T
BRITNEY SPEARS WROTE THIS SONG. IT IS ABOUT HER BREAKUP WITH JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.
With what we know now, this video is yet another testament of Britney's overlooked artistry and vision. You've endured so much and still have given so much to your fans. I will love you everytime Britney. ❤ Forever and always.
One of the best song from her
This is still her best song ever, she wrote it herself and she s looking very good. She sings natural, not sexy. It stays good even after all those years.
she wrote it for Justin after cheating on him and he left her lol
I love this song too !!!
slytherinjm he also cheated her wife and her son recently. Honey, did you know that ?
andy schievos love this song
Justin cheated on her
Deepest song she has ever wrote ! This song is a masterpiece! Timeless!

Does she write her songs?
knowing what we know now only makes this beautifully written and haunting song so much more heartbreaking. sending Britney so much love and support ahead of her book release in the coming week. we love and support you through your healing, always and forever Brit.
❤❤❤💯💯💯
this song still makes me cry
her songs never gets old, especially this one
Love this song..
I agree
true
so true
Stop comparing Old Videos With New Ones.
Britney went through so much and deserves so much better. I defend her forever. I hope her heart can truly heal one day
been through so much and she was mistreated this whole time! lost her unborn child and they took her 2 sons away from her!
Imagine being the most known celebrity in the world yet there is no one on your side. It must be beyond isolating
That video was such a huge cry for help.
So many people have really let this girl down...
I honestly think it’s a miracle she survived that period.
I’m glad she’s better now...
or at least better than she was.
some people are in the same situation
I'm SO FUCKING GLAD SHE IS SO STRONG i hope she is free someday and she loves a happy life 💛 I feel for her so much I grew up in a constantly abusive trapping life and early adulthood. All I want to do is change my life and I wish that God gives her the amazing beautiful free life she absolutely deserves she was too good for Hollywood. They killed her
@@GypsyWhimsyWitch I hope your life gets better and wish you happiness
I mean no, she cheated on her bf at the time and this was her trying to get him back lmao
@@banani7807 hey, listen to justin Timberlake melodies about her and britney’s song. She is respectful and, even though she did nothing and had every right to be super annoyed at him, she did this song and never replied back in public. Watch Framing Britney Spears to see that it all was a lie
she actually had to fight to get this track on the album, now everyone knows why
Esta canción marcó mis primeros años de conexión con la música, fue uno de los primeros CD's que tuve. Recuerdo repetirla una y otra vez para poder aprenderme la letra, siendo Argentina, no entendía nada de inglés y aún así su melodía, su voz, todo lograba transmitirme melancolía y a pesar de que me encantaba, más de una vez terminaba cantando y llorando. Después de tantos años entendemos la verdad detrás de esta melodía y su letra. Gracias Britney por tu arte, marcaste la vida de toda una generación.
"My weakness caused you pain"
That's deep 🥲
That got me also :( like straight In the heart... :( her yeah did what she did... I don't blame her.
Yes😢
This hit hard I can some what relate I was made to abort a baby when I was 18 shit hits hard 😢
@@Theflush_ good afternoon🤍🌎
I feel so sorry for her, and the fact that she was holding so much in her heart with no one to listen because she felt lonely. No doubt money is not everything in the world, this beautiful lady had money but not what every human being deserves which is happiness and peace. I hope one day she heals. ❤🕊️
Shes our modern day Marilyn. Tragic, tortured woman who deserved all that she gave in return. Love for Britney forever ❤️
They're cousins.
I was thinking the same. Very similar vulnerable and sensitive aura like Marylin, and a very tortured life 😢
they're actually related
That's exactly what i was thinking watching this now
YES SHE IS! Our Marilyn!
This is the first song that Britney created all by herself, even the beautiful piano melody. And it's one of the most incredible things of her career, she should create more. I'm sick of songs about partying and sex.
ff
Batman I'm not
I think she is too.
Dont listen to songs about sex and partying then.
Nobody cares go cry
