On July 20, 2004, Britney Spears released Outrageous as the fourth and final single off her fourth studio album In the Zone. It was written and produced by R. Kelly, with vocal production provided by Trixster and Penelope Magnet. It was the record label's choice for first and second single, but Spears pushed for Me Against the Music and Toxic respectively, to be released instead. It was finally announced as a single after it was selected as the theme song for the 2004 film Catwoman. It peaked at #79 on the BBH100. The song was only performed live at The Onyx Hotel Tour in 2004 A music video for the song was being shot in June of that year by Dave Meyers, which was set to premiere on June 28. However, the video was cancelled after Britney injured her knee while performing a dance routine. The Onyx Hotel Tour got cancelled as well. A composite of different scenes from the footage they got, was released on the Greatest Hits: My Prerogative DVD later in 2004. It had the guest appearance of Snoop Dog.

This Day In Pop: Britney Spears injured her knee while filming the video for “Outrageous” on June 8, 2004. Some consider it the beginning of the end, but however you decide to interpret it, Britney Spears’ knee injury on-set of her music video for “Outrageous” 15-years ago changed the trajectory of the pop titan’s performance offerings for good. It’s a sore subject for all of the B Army, but an important component in understanding one of the many reasons why she does not perform as she did in the past. For our latest installment of This Day In Pop, BreatheHeavy is revisiting the summer night when the singer took to the streets of Queens, New York to film the clip to the hip-hop-charged track and seemingly put a nail in the coffin to the promotional trail for 2003’s In The Zone.

Just finished editing this video. I used the official Junkie XL Catwoman Movie Mix (that didn't end up being used) and mixed it a little more. I only used newish video footage to keep it fresh and to prove that B girl still has that fire in her. Hope you guys like it!
