Quick story:
I was in college when this song came out. They filmed the video on Ventura Blvd. I went to college in NoHo. I saw posts on Twitter it was happening so I left class and drove to the filming location. Saw them both driving around and I even got to keep the pink Benefit hand mirror used in the video. I have receipts! Lol
✨iconic✨ getting to witness britney & iggy driving around as they were filming and keep the pink mirror which they had in the video (treasure for life 💖) if i had a chance like that i go too, thanks for sharing that amazing story^^
I have a soft spot for Pretty Girls. Not my fav Brit song but she looked happy and in a fun mood to be around another artist with it
she did look very happy doing this collaboration with iggy, especially knowing what we know now finding happiness must've been hard for her since she was still trapped in that conservatorship, im really glad she free now
Iggy's verse ruined it like omg..
It’s just so fun. And I love her shorter curls.
@@dali722 I liked iggy before she was famous, she had some really good beats but then when you get famous everything has to be watered down.
The song is still in my playlist. It's just a carefree fun song to dance to and the song fits Britney's humor.
iggys verse was sooo dam good. i wish she didnt get backlash for calling out britney and team for not promoting the song harder.
right i loved her verse on the song, she didnt deserve the backlash she got and even reading her tweets it was obviously she was talking about the marketing for the song, which is the business side of the industry that goes for any song, nothing at all about britney and even if britney wanted, she probably couldnt add more promo since she had little say being in that conservatorship at the time
@@Playlist_Pop So true. She was blaming the marketing, not Britney herself.
i know it’s just pop-trash but i’ve always loved pretty girls. it’s super nostalgic and the music video was fun. it’s crazy it’s such an obscure song sometimes i feel like i’m the only person in the world who remembers it exists
I loved when it came out too, reminds me of 2013-2014
same, its not my favorite britney song but its a fun time
First time i see a video about this! Back in the day I did a thread with all of the information about it but my Twitter account got suspended!
There was definitely an album coming in 2015, but it was scrapped in june right after pretty girls and B brought in a new A&R to start over I added the info to the Britney Spears Wiki about it, and yes! Swimming In The Stars was indeed for the scrapped album, that's why it's produced by Matthew Koms, there's even s 2014 mix leaked online.
Also in Summer of 2015 her ex manager Larry said an EP could be on the way but the album had been scrapped, but I could never find that interview again, I believe it's lost media.
Loved your video btw :)
so there was a scrapped album? its too bad that interview where her ex manager talked about an ep was lost bc that would've been such a big help in confirming this was true. the only thing that really got me thinking this was a real album was bc of the interviews iggy gave saying the song was for britney new album and that's why they asked her for the song back. thanks for watching and thanks so much for sharing this information
Not enough people talk about this single/era. It was refreshing to watch this and be comforted by the fact that I didn't make all of this up in my head
thank you for watching, im glad you liked it
Pretty Girls was so important for me lol. I often forget it actually happened, for some reasons this collab is surreal to me. I need to watch the music video again!
its a bop, may not be my favorite britney song but it was fun, i also loved the single artwork and music video
Im gonna say this : Britney can sing a song with ooh- lala with her children dancing on the video and we're still dancing to it in the club and pretty girls didn't work? I blame Iggy
Rumor has it that Britney is contractually obligated to relase one more album under RCA before being released of her contract. But since Britney officially retired earlier this year, I'm thinking maybe RCA could unearth "Pretty World". That way Britney could fulfill her obligations without having to do anything. It's a win-win situation for everybody.
Damn. That's a one hell of a rumor. Like the dark lore behind Original Doll
I thought she owes them one more album still
She Does & You’re Right
I’m thinking they are goin to Put something togather there self
With songs that have from her which I am sure is atleast 1000 if Britney herself isn’t willing to record new material
If they are going to pull an album from the vault, we want the original doll
@TheNnovation you mean like they did with mind your business
This was the best she looked post breakdown to me, it was like her light was coming back.
She looked great in Work bitch and Perfume as well
I guess they thought if it was successful enough to lead an album, they’d rush “Glory” to 2015 (they were already working in the then-upcoming album). Mostly of the songs for Glory were recorded in 2015
I don’t think so. She said she wasn’t focused on an album just a few weeks before the song came out. It was just a promotional vehicle for the Vegas residency.
that dose seem possible, especially since iggy said in two interviews that they called her back for the song saying an album was done which is why iggy gave britney the song back but maybe it wasn't finalized behind the scenes yet since they wanted to see how well pretty girls would do
I don’t think the album was actually finalized tbh. This was back when if a single flopped or technically didn’t do as good that labels would stop sessions for that album & basically start up sessions / ideas for a whole new idea. This still happens but now that everything is digital it’s a lot easier for artist to release music without be put on pause by labels
it dose seem that way, which make sense why they told iggy the album was done so she give britney the song back bc maybe they had an idea for the album but like you said it wasnt final and since the single didnt perform as well as they hoped they just decided to start over
Thank you for the video and your hard work ❤❤❤
thank you for watching, im glad you liked it ❤️
Honestly little mix should've kept it, its a girl group song and you can tell. Cos OMG is the same production and vein of pretty girls.
Yeah the song sounds like it was made for a group
Little mix sang it with more passion and aggression they could’ve made it a bop
it dose sound like a girl group song, its too bad they didn't keep it but im happy that britney got the song
It was a bad song let’s be real, it’s ok tho.
So annoyed at this whole situation britneys team is very back and forth with so many things. Shes had litteral gems in her hands but her team has litterally booked it and said no to so many things that she looks like she has genuinely enjoyed making. But i guess thats the life britney had to lead at that point. Couldnt imagine having my children dangled in front off me as bait so i have to work sick or tired or drained just so i could make higher ups money.
I hope one day Britney releases an album full of unreleased material and jjst does it full chest with no reprimands done to her, britney as a brand still sells. Shes has the best selling celebrities perfume in the game and her albums still sell solid for someone who was restricted in what she could and couldnt do.
right her team isnt good at making choices, the frustration britney mustve felt when an opportunity that she liked was presented but was passed bc of her team, her father is just the worse and so selfish its heartbreaking to hear how she was treated
it would be amazing to see britney release an album full of unreleased music she wanted too couldn't in the past, but for now i just wish her all the best and to live fully the way she wants to, she deserves to be happy
This is actually inaccurate. There was no album with pretty girls❤️ it was only released because Iggy was gonna put it out for her own project ❤️
That's what I thought to
it dose seem that way, the only reason i thought maybe there was an album was bc in two interviews iggy said the song was britney first but bc her album wasnt finished iggy kept it for her project but then britney team called her back bc britney album was done
Britney genuinely seemed happy in this music video. Like she was having fun and being silly. I would've liked to see an album from her with that playful, fun vibe with vibrant videos and crazy expressions. Glory played it safe and was generic. Mood ring is my favourite though. Should've been a first single!.
she did look very happy in the music video even the live performance, and knowing what we know now finding happiness must've been hard to find being in that conservatorship, it would be cool to see britney explore that side of her in an album
One of my favourite Channels
💙
I don't think there is an album, but only a concept, demos. Her team was just exploring and trying to feel things before an official release, just like Selena Gomez with her singles Fetish and Bad Liar. I believe, indeed, that was an ideia - a concept of an album at this period of time, but nothing solid, recorded.
that dose make more sense, the only reason i thought there was an album was bc in two interviews iggy said britney team wanted the song back bc britney had an album but like you said her team was just trying things out and while they did that glory was just in it's beginning stages before it became a full body of work
i think they were scrambling because bj was such an unprecedented flop. britney was having a sort of renaissance during this period riding off the coattails of femme fatale, x factor, scream and shout, and her residency. bj should have been a smash album. what was in their mind going from max martin and dr luke on femme fatale to will i am as executive producer? all because of scream and shout? LOL. britney jean was supposed to be her ray of light... a spiritual experience. im pretty sure the bonus tracks and alien are remnants of the original britney jean concept. it should have been led by william orbit not will i am!!! but enough about bj though. britney is a STAR and should not have to throw darts at a board like releasing a single with no concrete album rollout planned like pretty girls a part of me is glad pretty girls flopped because glory is one of my fav britney albums!!
Pretty Girls was my anthem! I’m finally a pretty girl, ma! 😊😊😊
I really enjoyed that song back in 2015, still like it, but quickly lost its coolness imo.
same, its not my favorite but its a fun time
the song was dated and just a fancy rehash. whats funny is i hear more gays playing the song recently as a throwback than i ever did back when it was released lol. britney did seem really happy during the pretty girls era. im kin dof glad it flopped though because glory is amazing.
that is true britney looked very happy during pretty girls and now knowing what we know now about her being trapped in that terrible conservatorship, it mustve been hard for her to find happiness at that time and maybe from doing pretty girls it helped ignite that spark when creating glory, which is an amazing album and it seem from interviews she really enjoyed creating it and since she had more freedom doing glory, it makes it even more amazing
your channel is so underrated! i subscribed 😍
thank you
Probably. Cause Britney never release a song that’s not included in an album or a compilation.
It wasn't "unreleased", The project finally became "Glory". Albums go through different artistic paths and plots change
thats true, the only reason i thought maybe there was an album was bc in two interviews iggy said the song was britney first but bc her album wasnt done iggy kept it for her project but then britney team called her back bc britney album was done
@@Playlist_Pop I think Pretty World was a direction RCA was not liking hence they went back to the drawing board and followed the Glory route. I'd love to hear some of the demos for that era though. We were lucky to hear the Matthew Koma track "Utopia" & "Exaholic" from pretty world concept! We need more 😍
@@itsjxomusic same i would love to hear more of those demos, i bet those sessions led to many bops
Honestly it is a single I can’t stand. Huge Britney fan since day 1, but pretty girls is just ‘WHAAAT’… even her most unknown single ‘someday’ is 1000 times Britney while pretty girls is clearly a song she should have tossed
its not my favorite either but it was a fun time, besides someday what is your top 3 favorite britney songs?
People just hate fun bops lol
Pretty Girls was always just a single. There was no album planned around it. Just like OOh La La was a single from a soundtrack. Nothing more but it would’ve been cool!
yea, it definitely would've been cool if a album was connected to pretty girls
Thank God this album never saw light of the day
a second unreleased album?
you mean by britney?
@@Playlist_Pop yeah, she has a unreleased album which is original dolls which was suppose to be released at the summer 2005 but didn't make it through
MONA LISA is the lead single from that album...@@rmxni1
@@saintperth3978 yeah but it's not the chaotic version but demo
@@rmxni1 cool, someone did comment original doll in a past video, but i hadn't looked into it yet, thanks for telling me more about it
10 years ago and she barely spoke again
+ what kind of app do you use to create really good thumbnails?
I also have this question!
@@Chief we might have the same answer
Let's hope we get a response lol
@@Chief yeah lol
thanks, i use photoshop
“I want to be a pretty girl!
But *you’re not* a pretty girl!”
history lessons 📝
9:55 I literally cried because of this picture at the time. I was such a huge fan of Iggy Azalea, got the cd, every song on repeat, and mostly had an entire page dedicated to post pictures of Iggy Azalea's multiple photoshoots and videos. Ironically she chose the song "Pretty Girls" to appear like this at the Billboard Awards. Thankfully I'm over it now but wow, what a total shock at the time. Most drastic plastic surgery I ever witnessed.
Pretty girls wasn’t that good of a song, but it was undoubtedly made worse by iggy. The general public was starting to turn against iggy if they hadn’t already, so Brittany and her team picking her made the whole concept seem even more dated. I think the song would’ve done better if it was just her or they had gotten someone like Nicki on it
Pretty Girls isn’t my fave, and Iggy’s rap is HORRIBLE in it 🌽, but I still like the song.
I still remember when Iggy told everyone about how "protective" Britney's team was and they had to search up Iggy's home before Britney could even enter. Poor lady had been controlled her whole life and I'm happy she's free and twirling in her living room.
same, its makes me happy knowing she free and is living life freely the way she wants with no limits
that song was awful lol I can't believe her team would put her through this😂😂😂😂
From the potential titles of songs off Britney Spears' scrapped album, I can presume why it was ultimately canned. "I Can Bang" and "Dance Your F**k Off" are terrible titles for songs.
true maybe not the best title names for a song but you never know maybe they wouldve renamed them when finalized for the album
Pretty awful song. Britney’s music for the last 15 years was nothing but awful crap, done by a team who couldn’t care less about music and her musical legacy. And let’s be honest: Britney hasn’t cared about her musical legacy or artistry for over a decade too.
Awful embarrassing
finally someone made a video about pretty world!
It didn’t exist😇❤️
@@Britney_Xposed if you say it then it’s true i’ve learned lol
