She opened up about the struggles she faced during her 13-year conservatorship
She talked about the struggles she faced just to release an updated version of the song, which mainly arose because she had little control over her career during her 13-year conservatorship. She added in the caption,
“Well I have asked for what I wanted for 14 years… a different version of ‘Baby’ but have the producers actually work for me and put it together… a start… but as the TEAM said NO and serves me with 4 girls, my sister included, doing a 5 minute version of 4 remixed songs to a T not even having to give effort or dance… just shot it beautifully and the sound was NEW!!! They ruined it for me, embarrassed me and made me feel like absolutely nothing!!! The truth is a f**king b**ch!!!”
Britney Spears released the track in September 1998
She released the track in September 1998 as the lead single from her debut album “…Baby One More Time”. The song managed to bag the nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards and dominated the charts in at least 22 countries.
The singer wants to give her fans a new album
A source recently revealed that the singer is “talking a lot about her career” after her conservatorship came to an end in November, adding that she “loves creating music and wants to give her fans a new album. It seems like she is focusing on one thing at a time.” The artist’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, called it a “monumental day” when it was announced that her conservatorship has been terminated. He said, “What’s next for Britney is up to one person — and this is the first time we can say this in a decade. It’s up to Britney. Britney, as of today, is a free woman.”
