Now that we know Britney lost a baby and this song is about it it make complete sence now

They made her add the final clip at the end because her team or label thought the video was too dark. Unfortunately the paparazzi snapping pictures of her in a gurney actually ended up happening to her in real life years after this video. She was hospitalized in 2008 and the media coverage about that was crazy.

She wrote, composed and came up with melody and the music video concept of this song. And it was a response to Justin Timberfake for "Cry me a river"

One of the darkest music video! tears me up everytime I watch it. The most saddest part is that, she not only described how world was treating her at that period + predicted her future - when she was hospitalized in 2008 (after 4 years after releasing this music video) paparazzi's chasing were more chaotic unbelievable MORE! They were chasing ambulance by foot, cars, even helicopters..

Originally she doesn't come out of the bathtub, the label made her add that scene in cause the video was too dark otherwise.

The ambulance scene literally happened in real life four years later. She was being carried out and then placed in the back of the ambulance and they were surrounded by cameras and paparazzi with the cameras in the ambulance window trying to get pictures of her. It was fucking awful. We NOW think it was all set up by her dad to get the conservatorship started.

1:27 yes, she wasn't trying to "pretend she wasn't britney", she was trying to cover most of her with what she had in the car, sunglasses (also it helps with the insane flashes) and the hat, because that way she can lower her head and the paparazzis doesn't get a clear picture of her entire face (since they literally just put their cameras on her face AND they were paid millions for a perfect picture of her) only her body...a lot of celebs did this during those times by the way, but if I need to filter some of them I can name all the ex disney cast, miley, selena, demi, jonas brothers, vanessa hudgens, lindsay lohan, etc etc...

This video hits different now that her book is out. Loosing Justin’s baby changed her 😢

This was composed and written by her. So underrated. The boyfriend represents Justin Timberlake

We love ur reactions about Britney. #FreedBritney 👏❤

this is my favorite britney song and my favorite mv ever!

07:06 "Where a life ends, another begins" - that's the message. People thought at the time that it was about Justin and media made it seem like it was a reponse to "Cry Me a River", which is a impression people have till this day. But in reality, when Britney was asked what the song was about, she said it was about God. If you pay attention to the lyrics, its a "romanticized" story about someone who did something bad and is asking God for forgiveness and a second chance, hence she decides to portray reencarnation in the video. She simply wrote misleading lyrics that could be taken both ways, a relationship with a partner or her connection to God. Some of her songs, even the most recent ones, have secret meanings. Gimme More, for example is known as a sexy pop banger, but if you take the lyrics alone she's talking about the invasion of her privacy and the fact that people back then didnt care about it and kept asking media for more, and more, and more...

now we know why there was a baby in the music video. c/o Britney's memoirs

BTW that's Stephen Dorff.

This is the only song I like by Britney. I don't like Britney. But this song... I absolutely love it. It's such a good song. LOVE IT.

I would love to see you guys reaction to her performances!! Please

The way I freaked out when this video came out and saw That actor, it's Deacon Frost like come on!! ✨😩

Beautiful woman The World

This video is so emocional and deep 💖

Yea this her response to Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River”… when they broke up he released that song as a diss to her and this was her response to that.. also the first song she wrote/composed since she started her music career(btw she wrote the melody on the piano.. yea she plays piano but you’d never know it bc labels and brands..)

It’s incredible! That Britney Spears loved and married a guy like Kevin Federline.

La escena de la ambulancia sucedió pocos años después. Muchas canciones de Britney de alguna manera fueron premonitorias a su vida en el futuro.

The song is about the abortion Justin forced on her !! Team Britney all the way . Song makes me cry now

Britney and Michel Jackson had the worst paparazzi encounters. The early 2000s were disgusting with them.

Okay guys react to: Stronger Piece of Me Circus I'm A Slave 4 U

Thats the whole point: they are both angry and frustrated because they are followed and stalked by paparazzi 24/7

React to Britney Spears Break the Ice

React to You Drive me Crazy

In the oryginal conception she was souposted to die,like later Whitney Houston in the bathroom.. But her label rejected that and changed the over..

stronger pleaseeee

Nice cool

react to overprotected darkchild remix video by Britney Spears please :(

Can you do the Christina Aguilera videos next

Please react to 1: DPR IAN so beautiful mv 2: DPR IAN Jasmine 3: DPR IAN scaredy cat

Got out of it? You serious? She's so famously never had an ounce of freedom her entire life!

Like Drowned World/Substitute For Love from Madonna 1998

Ooo wee these guys are so right about guys who wear cutoff tees…aggressive! Am I right? Ooo wee

U need to react to SLUMBER PARTY by Britney Spears. and WORK BITCH! Please!!!!

😨

Not about the paparazzi

I saw #1, #2, #3, and #4 was the last because they have no common sense whatsoever, like every video has a meaning described thru the scenes, you have to pause the video and explain every scene to them 🙄, I wish them the best but they just didn't work out for me

The guy is not the point. Stop pausing. Pay attention to her and the words. The video is very visual

You guys have screwed this video up!!!!!!
