PickleSpears Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If sounds like it was recorded by BSB in 2017 and then Britney added her vocals to it. So it wasn't intended for Glory. I wonder why Britney put her vocals on it then? For B10? It's random to me that she recorded it after Glory and they ended up releasing it for the Glory re-release. Link to comment
Mayaberovic Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I think this MUST be mainpaiged and re-discussed. Link to comment
jordeezy river red Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I honestly already forgot that this song exists Link to comment
studlygeorge Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I believe the BSB have said this was never intended to be a collab. We got news in 2017 that Britney was recording new material, so this must’ve been one of the things she recorded. My best guess is the BSB also recorded their vocals for the song but not with the intention of being with Britney. With the Glory re-release I think her label wanted to do a push for album sales so they just merged the two together and hoped it would gain some traction. in all honesty, despite the boycotts and everything, I feel like Matches was a huge missed opportunity. I know Britney is on a work hiatus so a MV/performance is out of the question, but they really could’ve rode the nostalgia wave with this one. It didn’t seem to be pushed to radio. It should’ve gotten the same type of single treatment as SITS (it also should’ve been the b side for the SITS vinyl single). But RCA didn’t seem to do anything with the track. Really big missed opportunity for them, but better for Britney who is refusing to work. Link to comment

I always found it interesting that she "burned her gym down" and then released a song about "playing with matches". Link to comment

SloppyToppyGoddess Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I dont think it was a missed opportunity. If they actually promoted it and did a video, it would make Britney seem lame tbh. It was nice for us were kids when BSB was still relevant but they haven't been on the GP's radar for like over a decade. If they made an official single it would seem desperate like when New Kids on the Block toured with Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. Yes they still can sell tours, all of them but Britney is still super talked about, young celebs shout her out all the time, and her music still get played on major pop radio stations. If anything she could've done the song with Jonas Brothers, tweaked the production, and that probably would've worked better. Link to comment

With a proper promo and an initial niche for the nostalgic fans it could easily be spread all over Tik Tok and there u have it. But not here to daydream the market strategies. Why I researched this topic is that i just HAVE THAT FEELING that THIS is one of thre few songs you can hear she actually enjoyed and deep down I can feel like she wanted this to happen. You can always tell by the way she kills the vocals if she was interested to record something in first place. It’s her DYWCO-HATL-Amensia-Hook Up type of song that’s usually never a single always a bonus and definitely a starting point of a musical project it’s direction always gets changed so yeah - B10 had a bop.

nthenwkiss Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Lol that song was beyond terrible I even pretend it didn’t happen... and when it first came out some people were like hey did you see the new Britney + BSB song and I was like that’s fake. LOL Link to comment
HIM Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The song is ****. I’m drunk so I can’t comment further due to my condition. Link to comment
J in the Mix Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Yeah I'm not into it. I like the verses but the chorus and beat drop are kinda meh to me. Don't think her vocals are that strong either. Much more into Exaholic, even if it sounds like Selena G. Link to comment
toysoldier88 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 It Just didn't work not that her team even tried to make It work Link to comment

Vocals on Matches could have been sung by microwave with amount of autotune and other vocal effects. So where did you hear she killed it Its probably her worst vocal delivery in entire Glory era.

If you were so into (the tool you’re looking for is melodyne), you would know that INSIDE OUT is heavier in production than Matches! Link to comment
