beautiful song, I remember when I was 14 and I SAW THE VIDEO AND THE FIGHT PART...I almost faint, I couldn't help not sharing this beautiful moment so I have to call my mom and show her the video and she was like: 

and  I WAS LIKE:  ...it was EVERYTHING...my 14 year old me was SNATCH

[BraveGraphics]

The music video slays tbh

[singularbritney]

I think it's her best video, in my opinion. And also one of her best songs in her discography.

[Piper Halliwell]

her most underrated single ever

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

HIAM is what vampires **** to in monster trucks. The song is amazing, only problem is I can’t decide which is a harder song production wise, HIAM or Work *****? Oh the woes of being a Britney stan.

HIAM's production >

WB sounded like a Swedish House Mafia leftover even though both productions are fantastic.

Honestly, preach @DignifiedLove

I remember when HIAM was first released and I didn't really love it instantly, but I felt there was something special about it. The video just left me confused because I was too young and didn't care enough to analyse it, but I felt the "eerie" Åkerlund vibe because I was also obsessed with Gaga's Telephone MV at the time.

For some reason I decided to watch it again last year and I was blown away, it's perfection beyond what a human could come up with. 

That then made me view the song itself in a whole different light, the slow but steady build up to the breakdown and then the final chorus manifests and just snaps at you; it's a religious experience.

It still sounds great  it didn’t deserve to be overshadowed by basic TTWE 

[KylieLanguage]

I know this is an old discussion but I agree 100%

One of my favorite Britney singles, songs period, mvs. And FF is my second favorite Britney album. The video was just so dark and was surprisingly personal considering she usually doesn't like videos like that. I still get chills when Brit in the wedding dress gets splattered in paint and falls to the ground

@DignifiedLove 3 featured threads in a day is a record! Also we recognize this was first posted in 2018, but it aged like a fine wine 

[ColdAsFire88]

i liked it then and still do now. Anyone know why it was never performed on POM? 

[BritneySpearsDolls]

HIAM is my fave Britney song of her career

 

the whole femme fatale era is super underrated (music wise)

i'm TIRED of HIAM being thrown under the bus because it truly is one of, if not, the most underrated pop song of the decade.The track is old school Britney meets Currentney and it's honestly a pop masterpiece with a PRODUCTION that is out of this world. Her best song this decade, period and I just want to take some time to appreciate the masterpiece that it is. 

Also, hearing the hidden vocals/instrumentals is a trip. Max Martin really  is THAT producer. 

19:45 is EUPHORIC btw. 

Yasss still remember the second, minute, hour and day when I first listened to this bop 

[asitalian12587]

catchy catchy catchy. great song, great production (love max). also doesnt get the credit it deserves for bringing dupstep to mainstream radio. 

[azariaspice]

Honestly it's probably my favorite Britney song.  I love it!

[bitbitboi]

I ansolutely LOVE HIAM. It has a special place in my heart. To me, it has that sweet yet **** and super pop sound that I naturally relate to Britney, like "Oops!" and "Circus". Love love loooove it.

When her worst video came out, it ruined the song for me  

You must hava forgotten about "3"... It's DEFINITELY her worst video. The editing is disastrous.
