The lyrics are very significant because they were a gift from the producer made especially for Britney. In 2003 Britney was at her peak and chooses The-Dream to work with her on her new album and they create "Me agains the music". Britney invites Madonna and convinces the label to release the song as the first single. This puts The-Dream on the map and makes him one of the most sought after producers in America. By 2007, Britney is going through a very scandalous stage and The-Dream declares: "I saw all Britney's problems on the magazines and I said to myself "My friend is in trouble, I'll write her a big hit to get her back to number one where she belongs" and so Umbrella is born, which somehow tells the story of The-Dream's feelings towards Britney and his protective attitude towards his disgraced friend. But after the song was created, she has her umbrella incident and her label rejects the single to avoid the easy joke.
mmm... wiki says they made the song for britney to get her a hit, but not 'cause they were thankful... rihanna should be grateful to britney imbecile deaf label though ' cause umbrella put her on the map.
knowing that dream wrote this for britney in the midst of all the chaos with her conservatorship and her sons, the lyrics have a deeper meaning now :( hence the “rain” being all the drama and chaos around her life, all she wants is to hold her sons under her “umbrella”
@@tiaguin_24 but the writers and producers have all said different stories. It was on hold, it was immediately rejected. They got no response. So many answers to the same question haha
@@Lommy9999 maybe her artistic team. Like her management. I’m assuming Britney gets many requests from songwriters for her to sing their songs. I’m guessing Britney herself doesn’t have time to go through all of them, that’s why she leaves it up to management.
Stylistically, I don't like the choices he made during the last chorus. The song ultimately ended up in the right hands. Rihanna delivered it flawlessly.
@@sunnydelight5255 lol Rihanna didn’t actually. It went to Mary J Blige before Rihanna and then Taio Cruz recorded it knowing Rihanna was already releasing it🤗
Had Britney done this song it would be awful. Got placed it where it needed to be. RiRi Barbados accent also made this a banger. Y’all Bugging. Britney greatest mistake will always be K fed.

No way?! Makes sense 🤷🏻♀️
It went something like that lol
True

I’ve been told Britney actually recorded Umrella🤭
damn Rihanna has hits served to her on a platter
So many artists do haha🫶🫶✨🎶

This song feels more bittersweet :'( especially the context and reasoning
Definitely is
What is the context?
@@CoolBlueVirgo 2007 is the year when the media hated Britney Spears and this song was made in support for her
This after I left my comment yesterday about him. I see what you did there.
This version for some reason makes me a little more sad than Rihanna's version 😢
Maybe because it was written for Britney when she was going through a sad time lol
@@Britney_Xposed
I had an image in my head, where The Dream performs, and that Britney runs to hug him when The Dream sings the final verse (fade-out)
Wasn’t this pitched mary j bilge too?
Frfr forgot jay z was on it but make sense why his first is first and times just right for this demo lol
@@Britney_Xposedyou’re pretty snarky to everyone that comments on your vids lol grow up 🤗🤗
I can understand the lyrics better when he sings it.
Honestly, this is so much better than Rihanna's version. It has a darker, more melancholic sound to it that just really elevates the whole song.
I love them both, I would really like to hear Taio Cruz’s demo of it tbh😅❤️✨🎶😇🔊
If Britney recorded it I hope it leaks some day.
Me too
They do
@@tiaguin_24 but the writers and producers have all said different stories. It was on hold, it was immediately rejected. They got no response. So many answers to the same question haha
@@tiaguin_24 sad. Was she already being told what to do back then by her father and others?

I want the Britney's versión! 😪🙏👌🏻
I wish she recorded it😭😭💕🤗
@@Britney_Xposed If it did, I heard it 8 years ago I think, it sounded with a fine high pitched tone, it made snores with a mighty tone.

There's someone who did an AI version of No Scrubs with Britney's voice. And it was AWESOME!! Maybe they'll try this one!!

I still wanna hear Taio Cruz’s demo of it🤞🤞🎶✨🫶
Imagine if both Rihanna and Britney sang it together
That would’ve been awesome!🎶🎶
Wow he's not bad
He’s one of the best writers of all time🤗💕🤗
we need this when britney releases a britney’s version album
Yasss!
A música da Rihanna
Upvote if you are here because the president suggested it
Lol not quite sure what that means, but yasssss? Lol
@@Britney_Xposed The Dream has been mentioned in Rick and Morty Season 2 Episode 5, somewhere in the first 15 minutes, by the President 😄
@@xtraa ahhhh🤣🤣
I heard a Britney demo of this years ago and it was taken down quickly.
Was likely a cover by someone impersonating her🤗🤗
ruclips.net/video/VNHDnH4GlfA/видео.html
it was a looping clip of just the "youre part of my entity, here for infinity" part wasn't it
The only thing that comforts me to know is that Britney recorded it (am I wrong?)
I was told Britney recorded it. But I found out they lied about some things. So idk if she did. I wish I did
@@Britney_Xposed I remember them saying that this was for mary j as well.
@@alexciarlo280 it was after Britney. It was also recorded by Taio Cruz
@@Britney_Xposed 😃
@@Britney_Xposed thanks for sharing this information
Had to be a jack move or a better check
Britney’s team passed on this one. They didn’t know what they had lol
Brit passed and Rihanna stalked them for it. She pushed herself to the top.
@@sunnydelight5255 lol Rihanna didn’t actually. It went to Mary J Blige before Rihanna and then Taio Cruz recorded it knowing Rihanna was already releasing it🤗
Is that timberlands voice in the beginning?
Nope just the dream I belive😇❤️😇🎶🎶 could be tricky Stewart the producer
@@Britney_Xposed
I meant that timberland signature "figi figi" in the very beginning.
Like the ones in "4 minutes" or "say it right"
Did she actually record Umbrella or not???
I’ve been told she recorded vocals for it but I wasn’t there so idk😇✨❤️🔊🎶
Love version original of Rihanna, Better!!! 😍❤🎧🎶
Technically this is the original💕. Taio Cruz also recorded it btw
This is how records are presented to artists like Rihanna, premade. They just have to remake it.
Had Britney done this song it would be awful. Got placed it where it needed to be. RiRi Barbados accent also made this a banger. Y’all Bugging. Britney greatest mistake will always be K fed.
I think Britney would’ve slayed!🫶🎶✨🫶
this song was written for her so it'll be always related to her in a way or another
Britney would have ate this song up. Her voice is well suited for it.
@@lilmizzije her voice? You must be on drugs. She used autotune. You’re clueless.
@@Britney_Xposedyes she would have
Clearly not Britney
It doesn’t say it is lol. Nor is she even in the thumbnail 🤣❤️❤️🔊🎶✨
What is this💀💀💀💀
A demo🤗
Show some respect. This man wrote the song.
