Gimme More

It's Britney B*tch!

On August 31, 2007, Britney Spears released Gimme More as the lead single off her fifth studio album Blackout. It was co-written by Jim Beanz, Marcella "Ms. Lago" Araica, Nate "Danja" Hills and Keri Hilson, while being produced by Danja. The dance-pop / EDM track opens with the now iconic phrase uttered by Britney "It's Britney, B****!".

The song was recorded a year prior, one part when she was still pregnant with her second child Jayden James, and then she finished the rest three weeks after her son was born (just a few days before filing for divorce). It was released in the middle of a very chaotic year in the personal life of Britney's.

She performed Gimme More live for the first time at the VMA's which took place in September 2007. After this she did not perform the song again live until 4 years later on the Femme Fatale tour in 2011.

The song peaked at #3 on the US BBH100 and it was top 5 in several countries.

On every date of Britney's worldwide Piece Of Me Tour in 2018, before every performance of Gimme More fans would shout 'WHO IS IT?'. This phrase started near the start of the tour and caught on and became a regular staple for every single date on the tour :ladyhaha:

The Original plot for the Gimme More Video:

The original plot of Britney Spears' 'Gimme More' video is believed to be as follows (via the Skadoll Tumblr blog).

"It's gloomy .. and everyone is looking down, except Britney who's looking around through her veil at the people …She then looks into the camera and says “Its Britney Bitch” ..She slowly starts to move away from the crowd .. hoping no one sees her, but makes eye contact with a guy in the funeral 

…She starts moving a little faster, hiding even a little .. and he starts to follow her … she jumps into her car drives off .. she parks somewhat illegally on a curb .. and begins walking down and then opens a deserted door. 

The door open into a dark club .. 

She starts walking down a hallway and there are people kissing and dancing on both sides .. and then the camera zooms to one side where there is a Britney dancing on a pole. 

The funeral Britney who has now changed into another dark outfit continues her walk down the hallway, then stops and looks around ..Then we see in the distance another white and red dressed brighter Britney dancing with dancers on a stage .. which is the main dance scene …Then the Britney walking through the hallways gets pushed into the wall by the guy who was at the funeral … but when he turns the girl around its not Britney … and now that Britney is lost among dancers in the crowded club … she starts to move through them … while the other Britney is on the stage dancing with the dancers … 

Suddenly the on stage Britney is kidnapped and ends up in a dark room with bad pipes and leaking water .. She's tied to a chair with her arms behind her back while girl -who we only see from the back but is assumed to be another Britney- is roughing her up , slapping her.. just being violent .. to the point where eventually we think Britney dies … 

We then flash back to the funeral … and somehow we realize there no one in the coffin .. and we're left with the man .. 

Going back through all the steps he realizes that the girl on the pole wasn't Britney …The girl rouging up Britney wasnt Britney …And then the man seems lost …The camera zooms out out of Britneys eye while she blinks, throws off her funeral hat onto a bed … and the video fades out"

Wow. I can’t believe it’s been 13 years. Things are passing by too fast. Still remains iconic though.

It should never come out. It ruined her as a artist. She should take longer break after her breakdown.

Do you know what you're saying?:ladyhaha:

This was recorded before the "breakdown", Gimme More remains flawless.

However, I do think a long break should have happened before the Circus era. The fact Womanizer was released 6 months after her psychiatric holds was way TOO soon.
