The theory is that it was about the baby Justin T made her terminate bc he didn’t want it. And it’s why there’s a lullaby style running through the song & sings about being haunted in her dream 💔
The reason she's bleeding is because earlier in the video, one of the paparazzi hit her head with the camera. Also, for a long time fans speculated that this was a response to Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" however since she revealed in her memoir that she had an abortion, and Justin pressured her to do it, the leading theory is that this song is about her unborn baby. Which makes sense when you take some of the lyrics into that context such as: "My weakness caused you pain, and this song is my sorry", "Everytime I see you in my dreams I see your face, it's haunting me", and "I make believe that you are here, it's the only way I see clear, what have I done?" Also, as someone else pointed out, Britney didn't want the end scene where she comes up from the water, she actually hated it, but her management insisted because at the time they thought it would be too suggestive of suicide.
Initially, everybody thought this was about just a breakup with timberlake, but after 20 years, in her book she told about her unborn baby with timberlake.
they added that last sequence of her smiling bc the music video garnered a lot of controversy prior to its release. some ppl claimed the concept was glamourizing suicide, which it wasn't. if you look closely, her head gets hit by a camera in the beginning, and that's where the blood on the back of her head comes from. the baby indeed symbolizes reincarnation.
Welcome to the real artistry of Britney Spears… Severely underrated and overlooked because of who she is, but the Princess of Pop is the Princess of Pop for a reason, she’s so artistic I wish more people gave her the time of day and credit she deserves. This song is about her baby she had to abort when she was with Justin Timberlake.. And they forced her to put the part where she wakes up at the end of the video in it coz they said it glorified suicide lol
The ending was edited after. Because management thought it was too dark. The song is about her unborn baby. for me it is one of the most beautiful songs
The song was about her baby with Justin Timberlake, after he made, her abort the baby, and yes, she was supposed 2 die, after getting hit with a camera at the start, but MTV wouldn't air the MV if it showed her dying, so, she had to back happy and alive at the end
Newfie, have you reacted to Hazbin hotel? It's a series on Amazon prime and it's freaking hilarious! Equally the show Hellava Boss is a banger as well. I like Hazbin Hotel better though.🙂

This is a masterpiece. Dark Britney is amazing. Blackout, her most dark album is a MUST.

The ending was changed, it intially had her passing away, but they thought it was too dark so they had to add the scene of her rising out the tub.

for me it is one of the most beautiful songs
the ending ruined the whole video concept

The paps hit her head with a camera
In my opinion, the music video is supposed to represent death and birth. So when someone dies, someone else is born at the same time.
the song was about her baby with Justin that she had to abort because of him
