"Crossed through the universe to get where you are
Travel the night, riding on a shooting star
Was lonely then, like an alien
Had to get used to the world I was on
While yet still unsure if I knew where I belong
Oh, that was then, like an alien"

beautiful 🧚‍♀️💐✨

Does anyone remember when Miley went off on Larry during the Bangerz era?

She Tweeted a bunch of stuff about her management working her to the bone...But I can't seem to dig up the original Tweets.

That whole Alien as a single bull**** was pushed by Larry, Britney didn’t give a **** about it 

so that's why she performed it multiple times on POM?

Are you for real right now considering she didn’t even want to do the show and was forced to work for 13 years I think that statement is invalid.

Just because she was forced to work doesn’t mean she hates everything about it. There’s always pros and cons to everything. She’s made it loud and clear that she hates Oops and Crazy yet that was during her prime days. So by your logic she practically hates her entire career then. Stop making it sound black and white when there are many moments during the past 13 years that she enjoyed like the recording of Glory which she happily shared in interviews. So dramatic, again are you an insider? Did Ana Diaz said this to you?

Lol bye it’s a basic song that everyone defends to the death it’s hardly being dramatic read the room and look in the mirror

Also it felt less auto tuned, for some reason

Agree! There was something different about the vocals in the bridge leading into the chorus that I much preferred in the original!

When the album came out, I was so hung up on how much the changes to the song from demo to release were not improvements.

[Body ache]

The drama and mystery with this album is like Blackout but in a negative way.

So basically you’re just making your opinions as fact since you have no inside knowledge and you should read the room as many fans have stated how they love this song just not the glitch. Just look at this thread alone already proves your statement wrong. Whether Britney likes it or not, many do just like how she doesn’t like a lot of her hits yet fans love them. You like FF but she rarely performs any of the songs. So just because you don’t like it, respect the fact that others do as Alien was one of the original songs during the early conception of Britney Jean before Will.I.Am stepped in. Even he had to tweet saying “yes Alien will be on the album”

It's management stories like this that made Britney not interested in recording BJ at all, its really deafening. Shame we'll never get the true BJ anytime soon but at least she'll bow out on a glory-ious note

A poet.

This song takes me to places 🌟 

I love when Britney does space-y sounds like Alien and The Answer.

[Brat]

I thought William Orbit wrote this 

[Musicandsoul]

I hope, if Britney does write a book that she explains/answers alot of these questions we have. It would be amazing in the years to come to learn about the processes with the albums, what actually happened with BJ and certain scenarios with Original Doll, Glory, the original Make Me video. Songs like Rebellion. Would be a dream come true!!

It was during the POM promo interviews where a reporter asked her what songs she doesn’t like to perform and she said Oops and Crazy (I know I love Crazy!) and also LA Reid suggested Oops to her on X Factor and she said “oh god not that!” with an eye roll. Plus she did told James Gordon that “it’s just a song” so that’s more than confirms her distaste for Oops.

I don't believe she wrote even 1 song from BJ. 

Britney has also a writingcredit on Body Ache, but zero vocals from her. + It is a David Guetta beat, why is he not featured? 

Katy Perrys demo is like identical to the final Passenger mix, which means they lied to us. Also zero Britneys. 

Her management paid for that, just to push the "Most personsl slbum ever" narrative. 

my opinion.

she obviously wrote the bonus tracks because those are full of things Britney would say

I can see her writing the second Alien verse.
