Yeah but Britney doesn't like it... 

[Style.]

I love ‘Sometimes’. It’s all about pure nostalgia vibes at this point, and it’s undeniably a staple in Britney’s discography. It’s heartwarming to see the song gaining popularity everywhere, even though Britney herself may not be a fan of it.

I always saw this song as the B-side to BOMT, and it kind of is: Sometimes was released as the second single to show the "other" side to Britney, the more innocent, virginal side the media and her record label wanted to cultivate because some parents thought BOMT was too provocative. 

Britney might not like Sometimes but it's a nostalgic song which brings me right back to 1999! I love it, personally.

Oh my seventeen year old self jams so hard to this  specially because of the lyrics which I most related to when I was dating my first boyfriend and I didn't know what to say or what to do because I was shy or simply didn't know how to act.

Baby what I need is time

Yeah, I could be but personally I think it pictures a normal kinda clueless teenage falling in love and not having much experience in relationships and expressing their love and affection, you know. It's cute.

Also the video is very pleasing to watch. 

[Princessmimi]

Hey its nice to see you on here again.

Anyways I'm glad this song is getting a lot of views on Youtube cause honestly I feel like its often overlooked or overshadowed by her more famous bubblegum pop songs like Oops and BOMT but its just as good.

 

Yes it maybe a little cheesy and sentimental but it has a nice melody and a catchy chorus

plus Britney looks GORGEOUS in the video!

I know Britney doesn't like the song but I wish she performed it at least once on the POM residency,

that would've been great

I feel this way about Crazy as well. I think it has been overshadowed and forgotten by the general public even if not amongst us here.

Oh yeah I should've added that song as well.

Although it did get some recognition last year in Rebel WIlson's Netflix movie, Senior Year,

when she does a dance performance to this song.

 

But yeah when people think of songs from her prime they either think BOMT, Oops, Slave and Toxic.

Everything else is kinda forgotten to the GP which is a shame cause a lot of the other singles she released during her prime are just as great, if not more than those 4.

I feel like in 2007 with Blackout, it was a big reset to Britney's career, since her base and audience also changed, and each song released at that point sort of is analogous to one earlier on in her career in terms of career impact with the general public. 

BOMT - Gimme More (the "big hit")
Sometimes - Piece of Me (the solidifying second single)
Crazy - Break the Ice (underrated "forgotten" single)
Oops - Womanizer (follow up "big hit" even though Womanizer is one of my LEAST favorite Britney songs, blah)
Circus - Lucky (solidifying single on follow-up album)
etc.

Hmm that's a good analogy and it does make sense cause she still had her old image even in the ITZ era but it wasn't until afterwards that she reinvented her image and sound.

Gimme More for sure is more remembered to the GP than Womanizer in my opinion.

Gimme More is also a much better song. I honestly think Womanizer is not a great song and if anyone other than Britney performed it, we would all hate it. It's repetitive as can be, too.

I LOVE Gimme More but I prefer Break the Ice. I'm one of those people

Right? She looks effortlessly beautiful there.

I like the colors of the scene where she's holding a hot pink ball.

And her bangs are iconic too.

Me too, I prefer break the ice over gimme. But I remember the big hype and excitement of when womanizer started playing on the radios in my country.

Jeez, even I who wasn't a fan back then was like freaking out inside!!! But I didn't react because I wasn't out of the closet yet lol
