Written and produced by Max Martin and Rami, Overprotected stands as one of only five Britney songs to be nominated for a Grammy. In 2003, it was up for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance - her third and final nomination in the category.

MUSIC VIDEOS

The international version (album version) was directed by Billie Woodruff who also did her 1999 video for Born to Make You Happy and her 2005 video for Do Somethin'. The Darkchild Remix video was directed by Chris Applebaum.

Across Asia, the original music video peaked at #3 on the MTV Asia Hitlist.

The Darkchild Remix music video spent 14 days at #1 on the TRL (US) countdown and is the era's most successful music video in the countdown - beating I'm a Slave 4 U and Boys (The Co-Ed Remix) which peaked at #1 for 3 days and #1 for 1 day, respectively.

Due to popular demand, the Darkchild Remix music video was also serviced to Asia after it's release in the US and Canada. The music video peaked at #2 on the MTV Asia Hitlist besting the original version's peak.

The music video for the original version on the BritneySpearsVEVO channel on Youtube is her 22nd music video to cross the 100 million mark.
