Do you think ‘Why Should I Be Sad’ is Britney’s most revealing song?

There’s something magnificent about Britney Spears in 2007 closing her album with a track called ‘Why Should I Be Sad?’. I think this is Britney’s most revealing & raw song about a disastrous marriage.

Why Should I Be Sad?
Blackout (2007)
Written: Pharrell Williams; Produced: Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo (The Neptunes).

Verse 1
They couldn't believe I did it, but I was so committed.
My life was so restricted for you (For you).
I just dove inside it blind, couldn't see what swam inside,
Thought that'd be romantic for you.

Verse 2
Exchanged my vows and said it all, on the ledge prepared to fall,
Even screaming "damn it" for you (Remember?).
My friends said you would play me, but I just said they're crazy
While I was crying frantic, was it true?

Verse 3
I sent you to Vegas with a pocket full of paper
And with no ultimatums on you.
I thought "What could separate us?" But it just seemed that Vegas
Only brought the player outta you (Hey baby, what's your name?), you think?

Verse 4
Lavish homes and fancy cars, even got the drop Ferrari
Filled up our garage for you
Made your choice with all the teams, People and Us magazines
Tell me, who'd I do that for? Who?

Bridge
And don't you worry about our angels
All the magazines trying to intervene, saying things in the gossip section
They'll get good guidance and be trained well
Don't worry, I'll keep our little secret, but I ask this question:
Why Should I Be Sad?

i do like that song but most revealing has to be everytime with the music video the original concept was a suicide theme ive red so she scrapped it.

I do think Everytime was deeper than a breakup song. It is her saying sorry to her family and the people who love her because she wanted to die. Until Britney herself admits it, I will not believe she cheated on JT.

Britney did cheat on Justin. It was confirmed by Wade's girlfriend and people close to Britney. But Justin wasn't faithful either.

Which is more revealing, Everytime or this one? :kiss_britney_blowing_pink_candies:

This one. Even though she wrote “Everytime” and it was widely speculated as her response to Justin Timberlake, the lyrics are a bit more vague. The lyrics in “Why Should I Be Sad” are way more specific and it’s obvious who she’s referring to.

”All That She Wants” is probably her most revealing song though, even with the sample. She scalps Kevin (and his mama) in the first verse, and her father in the second.
