What if "Can't Make You Love Me" would be a single? (My fanmade design)

[BritneyGuy]

Hey Exhalers, 

How's everyone doing? 

I noticed the longing discussion you brought up regarding the B-side 'Can't Make You Love Me', so I decided to go with a proper design similar to the 'Oops!... I Did It Again' single. 

I must admit that in the 2000's I wasn't feeling the song at all, and it was a skip for me (don't go hard on me) 

Due to your discussion and after a few plays I fell hard. Now, it's pure gem!

I imagine it as the sequel to 'Lucky'. I think it fit pretty good. Don't you think? 

How would you imagine the music video for it?
Do you like the song? Do you agree with the design choices? Let me know your thoughts.

always loved this song. it's a great album track. i don't think it would have worked as a single in 2001 though as the music scene changed a lot. it would have worked as a double a-side with Lucky though.

Turned out 🔥

Loved it! It would have been a SMASH in 2000...

that song slaps so hard it's one of my favourites from OIDIA

Gay marriage would have been legal a decade earlier if this song was released as a single

One of my favorite songs on the album, would have much rather had it over the snoozefest that was Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know (I only grew to like it on the Femme Fatale tour).

Like your design and LOVE the song to this day. Such much attitude in her voice and the production hits so hard. The fact that shes never performed this live is just

Why do you reference this song to gay marriage?

Mostly as a joke, however, the song can relate to gays with unrequited love with a straight man if you look at it that way

The performance on the FFT was magical, IMO. I'm not sure if I could let go of DLMBTLTK as a single tho

Something 2000 futuristic like Zenon or something LOL...like maybe Britney is in love with a robot or something 

Orrrr it could have been something similar to the VMA performance from 2000

IKR??? So unfair   and thank you so much!
It should easily replace 'The Beat Goes On' or FTBOMBH in the setlist.

Hmm, maybe... But most of her discography lyrically can relate to the LGBT community
