This song is so fkn dynamic. Very substantive but still fresh sounding. Britney was feeling her Janet/Michael Jackson teas in this video and she was just delivering angles, lines and looks. Britney deserved so much more but the Free Britney movement really changed things and scared many powerful elites in the industry. Stan culture broke through and exposed what was going down.
This is not about Justin. They were still together and he helped this album, the ME is more a Max Martin (producer) who also produced NSync. The songs is about her record company and the media. She was heavily bullied by the press since her first album because they treated her as "a role model for young girls" so if she wore something sexy "she was bad role model" and so on. Her Rolling Stone cover in 1999 was when the media really went after her. Her record company made her lie about being a virgin so this became a topic for the tabloids they would keep on asking if she was still a virgin and so on. She was trying to break off the goody two shoes image. Her family was already doing bad stuff in the background, but this song is not about it.
@dafr3ak the album was done before the remix. Justin is even part of the song "what is like to be me". U act like she was already over Justin, it took her way longer and she didnt even wrote Overprotected.
This is for sure a moment in her career that people still hold her to. Yeah, before her confidence got crushed and all of the other stuff she went through this was a fun time for her 😢❤
I grew up in this era and she was HUGE star and everyone wanted to work with her. It's so sad how the industry destroyed her and what's worst even her own family did her dirty.
she was going through this back then but i believe that person’s comment was about her 2007 conservatorship where she was legally “overprotected” and literally couldn’t escape.
Just wanted to thank you guys for the compassion you show for not only Britney but famous people (especially young famous people!) in general. I understand that people have a hard time wanting to feel empathy for people who seemingly “have it all” but I would never, EVER want to be famous. You gain material things and you lose exponentially more intangible things that are so much more important. No matter how much money or connections you have, it can’t give you back your privacy, your childhood, a sense of normalcy, people treating you like a person instead of a god, asset, or zoo animal. Fame takes away so much more than it gives. Some people search for it but others, like Britney, were forced into it at an incredibly young age (age 11 on the Mickey Mouse Club!). Others just want to share their art or do what they are passionate about and fame finds them. We see how badly it affects so many people and I think there does need to be a more compassionate discussion around the treatment, and exploitation, of famous people, including by their supposed “fans”.
Definitely prefer the Darkchild Remix in every way. This video is nice but compared to the remix, it just sits at “pretty enough.” That dark child version (audio and visuals) just reigns supreme.
They had texting in 2002?? I was only 13 so I didn’t have a phone yet. Oh wait, Kelly Rowland was ATTEMPTING to text Nelly in that video in 2002 lol So I guess texting was a thing.
well. i her book she says she was recording the music video from overprotected darkchild remix... and Justin ended their relationship on a text.. before she has an abortion from their baby... but while she was recording this album they were still a couple... that meeiiii has to do more with the max martin style... do not remember with this was written by max martin!!
The “me/may” is not Justin Timberlake thing. It’s a pop music thing in the 90/00s where you can hear Backstreetboys saying it like that, Nsync and Britney ofcourse.
Justin Timberlake broke up with Britney via text while she was shooting this music video so I wouldn’t be surprised if she took a few shots at him. Lol
the world of fame is sick, you cant stay sane or save your soul from negative impact when all those shit around you. but some famous ppl also sell there soul for fame, they have a choice as human beings not to.
My #1 Britney song since 2001. Production-wise, it's the best Max has ever done. The last minute of the song is absolute genius. I mean, they used a freaking neapolitan chord in it! Fantastic. This is why I will never understand the love for the abomination that is the Darkchild Remix. Awful, awful stuff. Completely soulless and devoid of any personality.
WE NEED OVERPROTECTED DARKCHILD REMIX AND BORN TO MAKE YOU HAPPY AND YOU DRIVE ME CRAZYYYY
Love Born to Make You Happy
she has better videos than BTMYH
@@artthurd iconic song and deserves recognition.
@ yes indeed but the video is very weak compared to the other ones in her videography
@artthurd still Incredibly worth watching.
Nothing beats Britney in her prime.
Facts
Darkchild remix of overprotected is one of her best videos!
Inspired by Janet’s “Son of a Gun”
One of my favourite Britney songs!

It kinda is. She said in the book that Justin dumped her in the remix. So they were already going through shit during this time.
@dafr3ak the album was done before the remix. Justin is even part of the song "what is like to be me". U act like she was already over Justin, it took her way longer and she didnt even wrote Overprotected.
I think Ive never heard so much truth about how Britney was treated 20 years ago as Ive heard you 2 in this video. And thank you so much for that
This is one of my favourite Britney songs!!! The dance break is amazing 👏 You should check out her 2000 MTV VMAs performance!!
Yeah. Great dancing twice in this vid.
OMG, you guys are on FIRE dishing out the Britney classics! 👏👏
MORE BRITNEY! Love your reactions
Madonna - Ray of Light Week
1. Nothing Really Matters
2. Frozen
3. Ray of Light
4. The Power of Goodbye
5. Drowned World
Its mind boggling that this single only peaked at number 86 for 5 weeks. The dance moves , concept voice were cool
This is for sure a moment in her career that people still hold her to. Yeah, before her confidence got crushed and all of the other stuff she went through this was a fun time for her 😢❤
😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ mucho amor para Britney Spears …….
Britney is a true rockstar
This is from 2001 it was the second single in Europe after im slave for you in overprotected remix was the third single in the USA
This really was her cry for help back then and still stands strong today.
she's just so iconic, one off her top music vids ♥
so happy to see some love for Britney here!
Legendary Song ❤🔥
MY FAVOURITE Britney song!!!
Watch the Darkchild remix version of this song!!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
I grew up in this era and she was HUGE star and everyone wanted to work with her. It's so sad how the industry destroyed her and what's worst even her own family did her dirty.

Great song and video

Overprotected darkchild remix is 💯 better! Love it Also Born to make you happy was one of my all time favorites!
Yeah, it's weird people didn't notice what she was saying in Overprotected & Lucky, it was so clear 😭
then later on with my prerogative, mona lisa and rebellion
great video guys
Please do the dark child remix!!!!❤❤❤
that's nothing to do with Timberlake, she's been using that "me" since you drive me crazy
9:15 she shaved her head in 2007😊
Omg yess ❤❤❤
Many female singers really got over shadowed during her prime.
I actually prefer this original version instead of the darkchild remix
Dang you shoulda watched Darkchild Remix as part of this vid lol
You have to do the darkchild mix!!!
Definitely prefer the Darkchild Remix in every way. This video is nice but compared to the remix, it just sits at “pretty enough.” That dark child version (audio and visuals) just reigns supreme.
Whst am I to do with my Lifeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! That skirt in that video yassssss
Iconic
Justin broke with her over text while filming this music videos.
@@manuelreyes3686 it was actually just before she recorded the music video for the remix version of this song not this one exactly.
They had texting in 2002?? I was only 13 so I didn’t have a phone yet. Oh wait, Kelly Rowland was ATTEMPTING to text Nelly in that video in 2002 lol So I guess texting was a thing.
@@notyouraveragebear9326 yup, those were SMS messages back then😅
well. i her book she says she was recording the music video from overprotected darkchild remix... and Justin ended their relationship on a text.. before she has an abortion from their baby... but while she was recording this album they were still a couple... that meeiiii has to do more with the max martin style... do not remember with this was written by max martin!!
I prefer the Darkchild remix
Hot take: the original version is MUCH MUCH better than the remix. 🤷🏽
YESSSSSSS!!!!
the song? absolutely, but the remix video is clearly better
YESSS
You need to react to the Darkchild Remix video for this song!!
One of her Iconic Songs , Unfortunately they drove her crazy , the Industry her family her exes .....
React to Britney Spears “You Drive Me Crazy” Please
React to more Britney spears ❤
Wrong overprotected track. You needed to watch dark child remix version. This version you are watching was Europe’s version not the US version.
The “me/may” is not Justin Timberlake thing. It’s a pop music thing in the 90/00s where you can hear Backstreetboys saying it like that, Nsync and Britney ofcourse.
Everytime i see this video i know exactly she was going tbrough people wanted her to be virgin mary forever and be a star like she said in lucky
Guys, that's not the right one. Overprocted has 2 videos. DarkChild Remix is the right one.
Do the remix guys the remix to overprotected it’s the dark child this the original video
You have to react to Overprotected Darkchild Remix. Hands down the better version!!
First video of 2025!!! Happy new year from France!!!
The remix version of this video is way better. This one is kind of meh
As cool as this video is, you gotta do the video for the Darkchild remix of this song!
💚
It was said that Justin Timberlake broke up with her in the middle of her filming this music video.
Justin Timberlake broke up with Britney via text while she was shooting this music video so I wouldn’t be surprised if she took a few shots at him. Lol
nope, it was during the Overprotected Darkchild Remix, not the og
Nothing to with that, Max Martin produced this song as well as Nsync's It's Gonna Be Me. Saying 'Me' in that way was his thing at the time.
@@sav0001yeah she does it in a few songs.
Max Martin told Britney to say "me" like that just like he did with Justin. Nothing related to Justin in this song.
Christina Aguilera music video 2 reaction please

the world of fame is sick, you cant stay sane or save your soul from negative impact when all those shit around you. but some famous ppl also sell there soul for fame, they have a choice as human beings not to.
React to t.A.T.u. - All the things she said
My #1 Britney song since 2001. Production-wise, it's the best Max has ever done. The last minute of the song is absolute genius. I mean, they used a freaking neapolitan chord in it! Fantastic. This is why I will never understand the love for the abomination that is the Darkchild Remix. Awful, awful stuff. Completely soulless and devoid of any personality.
Thanks for saying that. This is the better version.
Agree. This is the superior version in all aspects (including video). I didn’t care much for the Darkchild remix.
overprotected remix music video is better !!
