Spears blatantly sings that despite her luck in becoming a “Hollywood girl,” a.k.a., one of the world’s biggest stars, she lives a lonely life that causes her to cry. “Lucky” is one of the world’s glimpses into the downside of Spears’ fame - a typical Hollywood tale of everything seeming perfect on the outside, while feelings of loneliness creep in on the inside.
“She’s so lucky, 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?” If-and-when Spears’ conservatorship is terminated, this song will take on a whole new meaning. Looking through a 2021 lens, “Stronger” appears to be increasingly relevant as Spears fights for her conservatorship to be terminated - in particular, the lyrics, “I’m not your property as from today, baby” and “You might think that I won’t make it on my own” ring especially true, considering that Spears hasn’t been able to make her own decisions for the past 13 years. And so, it makes sense that “Stronger” would allude to the pressure a teenage Spears felt at the time, while also leaning into her own strength. Though it appears on “Oops!… I Did It Again,” which is only her sophomore album that came out when she was only 19 years old, Spears was already an international superstar with a global spotlight on her 24/7. “I’ve had enough/ I’m not your property as from today, baby/ You might think that I won’t make it on my own/ But now I’m/ Stronger than yesterday/ Now it’s nothing but my way/ My loneliness ain’t killing me no more.” From early hits like “Stronger and “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” to post-conservatorship releases like “Circus” and “Man on the Moon,” here are some of Spears’ most telling lyrics… ‘Stronger’ (2000) Now speaking out against her conservatorship, which she told the court has been “abusive,” Spears has pledged not to make music or tour until her father is removed, giving rise to the #FreeBritney movement.īut, it appears Spears has been using her voice all along.Īs is true for many artists, Spears’ true feelings may have been addressed in her music repertoire. (The momentum was just sparked this summer, following Spears’ first-ever public testimony about her conservatorship, which led to the judge granting Spears her own self-chosen attorney for the first time.) A major hearing regarding Spears’ father’s involvement in the complex conservatorship is set for September 29. Now, Spears’ new attorney petitioned to remove and suspend her father, which is the biggest legal move that has occurred in the 13-year legal battle. In 2008, Spears was placed under a conservatorship, controlled by her father, Jamie Spears.
