The only song that truly describes her entire career and life.

Listening to this now understanding exactly what she was trying to convey..

She was telling us early on what was happening. We were too young to understand then, now it all makes sense.

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.

Britney was singing about depression and mental health issues when it wasnt even a thing that people cared like nowadays. If this wasnt she asking for help, saying how she was feeling at the age of 18 while being one of the most famous humam being in the world at that time, I really dont know what it was. And she continued: Not a Girl, Overprotected, Everytime's music video and 2007 came. Britney only needed love, to be listened to and had people around who actually cared for her, and instead she was alone, going through a divorce, depression, being harassed by media and paparazzi, suffering from people's judgement and therefore losing her kids and not a single soul was there for her. Sad, really sad.

I feel like my generation was too young to understand her lyrics in this song. And we now are so truly deeply sorry & seriously just want to hug her. #ImSorryBrittney #FreeBrittney

Britney you deserved more. They did you wrong.

Brittney Spears has never done anything wrong to a soul on this earth. Her life is disected to no end. Yet she is still thriving and beautiful as ever!

Omg. She literally has been crying out this whole time.

"If theres nothing missing in my life then why do these tears come at night" that hit different. 2020 anyone

She was yelling for our help long before we knew. We were babies and I wish we knew what she needed.

2024 and still here, who's with me? Come on people!

This hits sooooo different after today's hearing. Lucky is and has always been Britney herself.

I wouldn’t mind if Britney retired, she gave us over 20+ years of pure entertainment and of course timeless music... I just want her to be able to someday be free and live her life FOR HER. Shame on every single predator who took advantage of Her. #FREEBRITNEY

I truly hope Britney comes back for a few more albums. She is so unique and amazing, an idol of strength and resilience. And she has sooo much amazing music

The cries for help were in her music and no one noticed 😢

The biggest cry for help that went unnoticed. We're sorry, Brit. 💔

Britney walked, so your faves could run. She was basically crucified by the media and y'all laughed about it, and now newer artists can defend themselves without being called "crazy" or being mocked. She deserves to be free and the world owes her an apology. #FreeBritney

She was born and destined to be a star. This was the first song explaining the struggles. Thank you Britney for all the great tunes.

I almost cried watching this video

“They’d laugh at me and say, she's lying, she's got everything, she's Britney Spears.” 🥺 #FreeBritney

She sang the ABSOLUTE FUCK out of this song, and now we know why. #FREEBRITNEY

I pray we get a 10th album from Britney, one where she comes out about everything like in her book. A 10th album about her new freedom, her experiences being a slave, and empowerment now that she can be Britney as she wants again.

I don't know why but just think this is her story, so touching

"After I’ve lied and told the whole world I’m OK and I’m happy. It’s a lie. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry it’s insane. And I’m depressed. I cry every day." - Britney Spears, 2021 🥺

"She's so lucky, she is a star, but she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart..." We love you, Britney. We grew up with your songs. The brightest star forever.

One of her best song.

This just threw me into the deep end of my past where everyone was obsessed with "Baby One More Time" and "Oops I did it Again" and I was listening to this song on repeat constantly and when people would ask me what my favorite Britney song was I told them "Lucky" and got weird looks in response. When asked why I just said, "it just feels the most authentic to me." It still rings true today.

This song is so much sadder for how real it is for not just everyone in the world, but Brit especially.

She was crying for help 20 years ago through this song and we as kids didn't have a clue. It just hits different now.

Sometimes you wake and just have to listen to Britney💚🎶

Shes such a beautiful woman inside and out. One of the few pop stars i actually respect

2000: “This is a story about a girl named Lucky” 2021: “This is a story about a girl named Britney”

This song is about her. You can clearly see the sadness in her eyes. It's sad that her family sold her to the music industry

This was my favorite song and this telling us how much pain and how much she want for help but people surrounding her only see her $$$.. bless you

A pop classic.They'll be playing this on KZfaq and radio stations around the world for the next 100 years and beyond. Mark my words : ) December 27th 2023.

And as of today Miss Britney spears is TOTALLY FREE FROM HER CONSERVATORSHIP!!! 👑👑

When they make a movie about Britney's life they should call it Lucky

Who’s here in 2024?

April 2024, still

this song hits different in 2021

We, as society have failed Britney for so many years, this is our moment to reivindicate with her #FreeBritney

Hail Britney our queen of the 90’s 🙌🏼 ❤

Now I watch her videos and watch her face you can see the pain in them

After everything she's been through. "Lucky" hits a little different now..

THIS WAS LITERALLY HER CRY FOR HELP TBH that girl has been through soooooo much shit man EDIT: coming back to this comment 4 years later & with framing britney spears coming out this all made sense.

Sitting here binge watching her videos after finishing her book. What an incredibly beautiful & strong human she is! I hope that she manages to heal & find true happiness again. I know how hard that can be when you finally put you & your mental health first in your forties. It's not even slightly easy trying to break trauma responses & thought patterns that you've been doing for 30 odd years. I myself have surrended to the fact that I'm too broken to be fixed but I truly hope Britney can manage to heal, be happy & really live instead of just existing ❤

We’re so lucky to have so much awesome Britney Spears music. Can only hope and pray she comes back for more albums, videos, and performances. She is truly the best

When this song came out, my mum said, "she's really sad isn't she?" And I said no, it's just the video, just the song! She replied, "no I think she's singing about herself."

It's depressing to think that Britney's cries for help date all the way back to the release of this music video, and no one cared back then. No one cared in 2006 and 2007 either, the world just mocked her. People only began caring now, after all the damage is already done. You deserved so much better, Britney.

Queen OF Pop

This is about Britney herself. A Queen who was a slave. We must support and love her now that she’s free, and hope she releases more music as herself soon

This song is the first thing I thought of when I heard her testimony. It literally made me cry to hear what she has been through. I'm praying for you 🙏❤ may you have your peace and happiness.

Me as a child: She so lucky, she’s a star🥰🥰 Me as an adult: She cries and tears come at night 😩😭😭🥺 Omg thanks for 1,000 likes!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

How much more did we need to hear ? Everything was said in this song.

The song is very relatable since people think someone has perfect life yet the person is really suffering(definitely Britney's most relatable & important song since it's not just another pop song it has a message in it that people can relate with)these are facts.

Always felt this song was a cry for help

The story behind #FreeBritney and why you should care: In February of 2008, Britney Spears was placed under a conservatorship by her father which gives him complete control over her life including food, clothing, finance and shelter. It all started on January 4th, 2008 when Britney Spears was involuntary held under a 5150 hold following a custody dispute with Kevin Federline. That's when we saw the horrific videos of Britney being taken from her home in an ambulance chased by the paparazzi. She was released from the hospital the next day and was not required to remain for 72-hours. On January 31st, Britney Spears was placed under a second involuntary 5150 hold. However, extra precautions were taken that suggest this hold was planned well in advance. This is when the court agreed to place the pop star under a conservatorship. Not two months after being deemed too incapable of making decisions about herself, Britney Spears would guest star on How I Met Your Mother. By September, a woman who the court said can't make her own life decisions became be the most awarded woman of the night at the 2008 VMAs. That same month, the court put Britney Spears under permanent conservatorship even though she was denied her right to retain a lawyer. Since then, Britney has spoken about her life being too controlled. She even compared her situation to jail and said she “never wanted to become one of those prisoner people.” One of things Britney said she misses the most is being able to freely drive her car. Under conservatorship, she needs permission. A documentary called “For the Record” follows Britney Spears through her Circus Tour and includes deleted footage where she speaks out about her situation. By 2011, Britney Spears was embarking on her Femme Fatale Tour during which fans have predicted that she was being heavily medicated. Legal experts began questioning the conservatorship in 2012 when Britney was chosen as an XFactor judge but was still deemed unable to care for herself. During the Glory era, Britney Spears spoke out about the conservatorship on the Jonathan Ross Show. Fans in the audience confirmed this happened, but that part was cut out of the interview by the time it aired. During the 2016 election, Britney was forced to remove the hashtag #ImWithHer from her post supporting Hillary Clinton because she is allegedly not allowed to vote while she is under a conservatorship On Instagram, Britney Spears has hinted at wanting freedom from the conservatorship as well. On January 4th, 2019, Britney Spears mysteriously cancelled her Las Vegas residency “Domination” citing her father’s health issues. 3 days later, Britney was seen driving through In-N-Out for the last time. She would then go missing from the public for 3 months because her father allegedly put her into a mental health facility against her will. This would be Britney’s third involuntary hold. In April, news broke that Britney Spears was indeed in a mental health facility and her team said at the time she entered voluntarily. But Britney Spears allegedly told the court that she was forced into the facility by her father and that she was forced to take drugs. Britney’s co-conservator Andrew Wallet also resigned because “substantial detriment, irreparable harm and immediate danger will result to the conservatee and her estate if the relief requested herein is not granted.” He was asking for a raise not 5 months earlier. Fans began protesting in May during Britney’s court hearing. In September, Kevin Federline filed charges against Jamie Spears for allegedly abusing one of their kids. Because he remains Britney's conservator, she now only has 30% visitation with her kids. Later that month, Britney fans took the streets again at her next court hearing. People in the courtroom said a 730 investigation into the conservatorship was brought up by Britney’s mom before the public was asked to leave. Britney also spoke out on Instagram explaining how important her freedom is during this time. It’s worth noting that Britney Spears has been speaking out since this conservatorship began. One of Britney’s music video directors said the only direction she gave him was to film her in a cage. This has been a consistent theme since she was put under a conservatorship. This letter that Britney Spears allegedly wrote in third person also leaked to the public. She said she was “lied to” and “set up.” Britney’s doctor also mysteriously died. Fans have organized protests and a #FreeBritney trending hour starting at 10:00 am PST. Do we ever think Britney Spears wears 2000s clothes still because she has nothing else. She’s forced to wear them because she’s never allowed any of her money. And it keeps the narrative that’s she’s crazy She worked all those years, was the epitome of pop music in the 2000s, all for what???? She should be enjoying her earnings and not having parasites live off her and control her life!! *Britney Spears is under a corrupt conservatorship and her father controls her food, her medicine, her finances, controls who enters her life, she can't vote, she cannot have children, she cannot have custody of her children, she can't hire a laywer for this, etc.* February 2008, after claiming Britney Spears had dementia, she was placed in a conservatorship. March 2009, Britney starts her Circus World Tour, where she dangles from the air and walks through fire rings. Normal activities for a dementia patient, right? Britney Spears’ father claimed she had DEMENTIA and was “unable to properly provide for herself”, to lock her in the conservatorship in 2008. A couple months after this, that supposedly disabled woman was sent back to a rigorous work routine, including a world tour. Britney has NO rights under her conservatorship and has been trying to let us know for years that she is in need of. Britney's song "Lucky" and "Everytime" is like a premonition of how sad Britney's life has become. Listening to the song today is very sad. Ya'll think Britney Spears is just another pop machine who makes millions of dollars and think she's generic. But ya'll are forgeting that she's HUMAN and she's been a money maker for her team for over 20 years now. Britney Spears has made nearly $1 BILLION in the past 20 years. Since the start of her conservatorship, her net worth is reported as $58 million. She is given an allowance of only $70,000 per year while her shady conservator father makes double that amount. Reminder that Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship for years. She has no control over her career it professional life. She even lost custodial time with her sons because her father was abusive towards them. From all that I've seen this is utterly terrifying that an fully functioning woman, BRITNEY SPEARS, is under a conservatorship. She did tours, practiced hrs of choreography and is being controlled like a puppet. She can make her own choices. Free her. I'm disgusted. Britney Spears is clearly having manic episodes on tik tok and everyone is just laughing? This is the reason we need mental health awareness weeks that aren’t just people sharing pics of a short list of common symptoms of depression/anxiety. She deserves nothing but happiness. She has been treated as a money machine since she was born and went through the atrocities experienced, she never had a bad word about anyone in the industry, even towards the one who shames her. Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship for more than a decade. Conservatorships are not meant for able minded and hard working individuals like Britney, and the fact that her conservators all heavily benefit financially from the conservatorship is wrong. Britney Spears is a money making machine for her entire “team”, her whole family, and her ex husband. If she doesn’t comply with her fathers rules, he threatens to take her kids away from her. *Even so-called jokes about Britney Spears being a robot or clone or govt experiment perpetuate the denigration of her humanity. Britney is not a fictional character. Britney is an actual live human being w/the same full capacity for thoughts & emotions as you.* Since 2008 Britney Spears has been held in a conservatorship, this gives her conservator (Jamie Spears) full control over her life, body and finances/estate. Conservatorships are typically used for SEVERELY mentally ill individuals or people in comas. Having been on 4 world tours with dangerous flying and fire stunts, it’s safe to say she is sane enough to feed and clothe herself. With this conservatorship she is unable to properly fight for her freedom as she isn’t legally allowed to hire her own lawyer. We need this petition so that Britney can hire her own lawyer and live a normal life as a 38 year old woman with two kids. The petition to let Britney Spears hire her own lawyer already has 52k signatures. Add your name to help #FreeBritney

브리트니가 아프지말고 행복했으면 좋겠어요.

Who’s listening here 2024?🎉❤❤

"She's Britney, she's a star" But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night?

I wonder if she's really crying every night thinking that she's a grown woman and still treated like a 10 year old girl. Wish she would be freed. #FreeBritney

She was not lucky in love... The most loved and desired girl in the world... heaven is a strange place for the most beautiful soul in the world... I send you kisses Britney... long live Freedom... ..

It's 2024 still listening to this incredible masterpiece. Brought me back old memories

This song is terribly sad now that we know her truth ....

I'm so sorry, Britney, as a child I judged you a lot, thinking that you were just a silly blonde who had gone crazy from drug abuse, that's how they taught me, how society filled me with prejudices towards you, and now I can't stop crying listening to this song, feeling guilty for being part of that society. Now that I've grown up and matured, I can understand all the pain you went through

Hermosa donde quiera que estes lamento todo lo que pasaste, eres una bella mujer y de noble corazon, no merecias nada de lo que te hicieron pasar, te admiro muchisimo Britney, eres un angel y a pesar de todo lo que sufriste aun sigues aqui, eres mi idola, te amo y de todo corazon espero que estes mejor, y aunque ya no vuelvas al mundo de la musica siempre seras la princesa del pop. #FreeBritney

We need a movie like “Across the Universe” but about Britney’s life. A musical.

“I'm not happy, i'm so angry- it's insane, I cry everyday.” - Britney Spears speaking up on what she felt about the conservatorship.

"This is a story about a girl named -Lucky- Britney" 💔😢😢😢💔

I remember being in the 5th grade and crying to this listening to the album.😊

Sending happiness and support to Brit

"If there's nothing missing in her life" yes there is, FREEDOM.

She's the epitome of pop star. Her songs were massive hits and she was all over the radio and tv. Not even Ariana of today could compare.

I love this song so much because you can tell that she is singing from the heart.

This song breaks my heart after all she’s been through. I don’t think she’s completely free yet, and I know her relationship with her family (the once she came from and the one she started) is estranged. I just have a feeling that Britney is lonely; I’m sure she has trust issues, too, but who wouldn’t after that 13+ year ordeal. #luvbrit4eva

People always criticize her for not having the voice of Christina Aguilera, for lip-syncing, for winning many awards, for being successful, but no one ever saw her main quality, humility ...

I'm surprised she didn't write this song. This is literally her life.

This was a beautiful song for me to listen to growing up. I can’t believe it took me 24-ish years to realize that this song is about Britney herself. Britney is the girl named Lucky. Britney, you are in my prayers. Take as long of a rest as you need to. Your fans will be there if and when you decide to come back.

This song hits so much harder after listening to everything she's been through and reading her book... I've loved Britney since I was just a little kid, i'm 30 now so she was the 1st music artist I loved & admired and so I've loved her and her music most of my life. I love you Britney ❤ & after everything I hope your becoming happier than ever because you deserve the world.

Imagine, this was/is ACTUALLY her life.

This is a story about a girl named Britney.

Class of 2024 anyone else with me👇🏼

Dreams keeps the soul alive. Without dreams we die inside.

This song is the first thing I thought of when I heard her testimony. FREE BRITNEY !!!

We’re so sorry Britney, we were too young to understand. BUT WE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!! #freebritney

She is beautiful without makeup she is beautiful when she is her self❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Guys please continue to support Britney on her socmed account. She deserves to be follow because she is a legend queen

The music industry, media, and her own freaking family, this woman has been failed from every spectrum of life. Britney isn't a victim, she is a survivor, what this woman has endured, I'm glad she's still with us, seeing so many abused legends like Princess Diana, Micheal Jackson, Whitney Houston, Judy Garland, Amy Winehouse, Marilyn Monroe etc are gone

in this song she was telling her story.... im so heartbroken for her, britney worked extremely hard since 17 theres no way in hell anyone should be controlling her money her life PERIOD!!!! i pray to God the judge grants her wishes to be free!!! 🙏🏾

Whoever composed this song for Britney foresees her future already. Its so sad how Media and her family destroyed and use this beautiful and talented girl. Im such a huge fan way back. Hipe she made a comeback and she takes care of herself.

After hearing her speak in court, this song hits different. You’re fans are with you Brit!! #FreeBritney ✊🏻

“If theres nothing missing in my life, then why do these tears come at night?” Its freedom. Its whats missing in her life. #FREEBRITNEY

My 5 year old daughter is currently obsessed with this song and can sing along with the words 🥹

This was one of my favorite songs of hers!

We, as a society, failed Britney Spears. #freebritney

To achieve this level of stardom without social media is simply incredible

I really love Britney Spears, her music is so motivating and Im just gonna say it, Girl Power. From the first time I listened to her at like...12 years old, to now at 34, Im still so excited to listen to her music and get so excited listening to her songs; but then I feel down. Because it's such a bitter irony. If anyone out there, needed a person like Britney Spears in their life, it's The Britney Spears... I can only imagine how bitter sweet it is to look back on a previous time in your life; at the height of success and have it all taken from you. Have your womanhood taken from you. Everything, taken from you... From her. My heart truly breaks for her. I wish there was a way for us to show her how loved she is and be that motivational force for her...like she was for all of us, at 12 years old, or however old you were when you first listened to Britney Spears for the first time.

Esta cancion al fin y al cabo se terminó convirtiendo en su vida real,este tema tiene casi 25 años ya y los niños y adolescentes de aquella epoca ahora entendimos todo!

NO ONE can replicate Britney’s stardom. Yes, Ariana Grande is popular nowadays but not to the level of what Britney achieved. SHE WAS EVERYTHING. Truly legend and my favorite forever and always.
