On December 26, 2001, the original music video for Overprotected was released a week after it's worldwide release as the official second international single from the album Britney.
The Billie Woodruff video features an intro using another track from the album, Bombastic Love.
TRIVIA TIME! The Overprotected music video stands tall as the only one in her videography to feature two songs from her catalog. Not only that, the music video also takes pride in the fact that it is the only one to have it's own follow-up via the release of the Darkchild Remix music video.
It's so good that they had to release two official versions, each with their own music video. I mean, how cool is that? Your faves could never, honestly. Don't even try to come for Godprotected.
The opening scene, which plays Bombastic Love in the background, shows Britney opening a door and right outside is a swarm of paparazzi waiting for her as she makes her way to her car and drives off.
She stops by an abandoned warehouse where she reflects on being 'overprotected' - and in true Britney fashion, she feels herself on some of the furniture.
She is also shown sitting on a horse from a carousel because she needs 'joy'.
Soon after, her dancers arrive and they do one of her best dance breaks eveeer.
After she goes ACTION! is where the song takes you to a high as it goes into a crescendo towards the final chorus and features this iconic scene where Britney literally needs her 'space' with the walls closing in on her with the phrases
'Britney Mania!'
'Girl of the Year'
'Album Goes Double Platinum'
'There Is No Stopping Her!'
'WORLD TOUR SELLS OUT!'
Never has a Britney Spears music video been so self aware and so proud of herself, her sales, and her achievements - and this is coming from one of the most humble pop girls in history.
Which is why the original Overprotected music video should be a celebrated gem in her videography. This is one of the rare moments where Britney acknowledges that she is indeed 100% that girl.
Now stream this music video and give it justice.
