@@Roma-SRyan because he has grown up and now as an adult has probably paid more attention to the lyrics as a grown man versus being a little boy that's why.
This song wasn't about an ex. It was about her former manager who stole from her and exploited her, and she ended up firing him and taking the reins of her own career, which resulted in her album Stripped which is a masterpiece. So this song is like her telling him that she didn't need him, he took advantage of her and betrayed her, but she's stronger, she will fight her way up and she'll transform into a more powerful creature. Awesome empowerment anthem.
Exploited who? #1 album, 3 #1 singles, BNA grammy, successful tour all for an unknown brand new artist. Xtina has never match let alone surpassed the success of her debut album. lets not
@@Roma-SRyan she’s very upfront about her being worked to her bones for that « success », and being surrounded by people who wanted to use her success.
@@Roma-SRyan if that's all you see and you're willing to sacrifice your health and mental sanity for it, then good for you. But on top of that, her manager was stealing from her. The fact that she went on to have critically acclaimed albums and more Grammys with albums she produced herself is proof that she didn't need to be put through those situations so early in her career.
Between her debut and her second album she began to to take control of the management that represented her. Encouraged by some of the songwriters from her first album, she began writing in journals and diaries... fighter started off as a poem of what she was feeling at the time and evolved into the song. Fighter is about her former Manager, and also loosely aimed towards her dad, and Dallas Austin. Basically the men in her life at the time that recently had hurt her.
This is a great song to listen to before you have to go do something where you need a bit of badass energy. Stripped is such a good album actually. It still stands up as a fantastic listen 20 years later.
Dave Navarro ( RHCP & Jane’s Addict ) plays the guitar here, Floria Sigismondi directed this video ( Manson, Bjork etc ) Xtina is a very complete and versatile artist. Even tho she’s been encapsulated like a pop start, she has done all genres with a exceptional quality
As a teenage boy, I remember I was so excited watching this video and also behind the scene. I felt so connected to this song and beautiful. She is literally my hero.
The song was about her first manager that overworked her and then stole a bunch of money from her before she fired him and ended his career. Some people think it is also about her dad but she has a MUCH more personal and brutal song about her dad on that album.
The song is both aimed at her father, who subjected her to abuse, and her debut-era manager, who mistreated and exploited her. Following this, she took legal action and switched her management to secure her artistic independence. She has been a fighter and determined individual from the outset of her career.
NO TF its not. this song is about Dallas Austin her ex BF. her manager didnt subject her to no abuse, Xtina is just lazy n hated working as hard as she did which is why every album after her debut did worse. her dad never abused her. stfu u kno nothng about her
Oh my gosh brings back memories, I remember I sounded so good singing the bridge onwards from 🎶how could the man I thought I knew turned out 2b…..🎶 with the adlibs , vamp. As a boy too, very impressive vocals similar to Christina but then puberty soon hits and my voice deepened…couldn’t do the runs at the end anymore 😂
I just can guess but I'm pretty sure she's singing about her relationship to her father. And if this is not the case, if I'm wrong, it can only be about the people that formed her in this sort of pop princess, which made her feel totally uncomfortable in any way. But I still love that song. It's a timeless masterpiece.
I remember when I 1st heard & saw this vid, I was obsessed, even stayed up late that dayto keep watching it and requesting on a music channel called the box, here in London/ uk. My mums boyfriend would come downstairs couple times to turn it down
When u guys smile it makes me smile showing teeth, so infectious, beyond my control going from serious normal face then within seconds I feel my my mouth widening stretching out, b4 u know it my teeth are out 😂 seriously though. Good vibes, make me in happy
I just found out about your beautiful channel because my friend sent me that you were doing Christina week I love it! My favorite song is Beautiful and I hope it's on the shortlist.
You know how moths and butterflies are put in collection boxes pinned, or also put in glax boxes, just like that, then she escapes in a kinda larvae way then she goes puppa and then she metamorphosis to her final stage where shes stronger and break free as a fighter.
Amooo esta canción es un video icónico y muy inusual para la época y la gente diciendo que Christina Aguilera le copiaba a Lady Gaga cuando Christina fue unas de las pioneras en videos de este tipo
Marina (and the Diamonds) week: Sex Yeah, Primadonna, How to be a Heartbreaker, Man’s World, Electra Heart (I’ll suggest more if y’all do the week 😉). Or Azealia Banks: 212, Anna Wintour, The Big Big Beat, Ice Princess, Yung Rapunxel (or Gimme a Chance/Desperado but it doesn’t have a video); Florence and the Machine: No Light, No Light, Breaking Down, Cosmic Love, Dog Days Are Over, Over the Love

Please do a DPR Ian Week...his songs are the best, Great videos, song is on point ...great story line..he is perfect for this Halloween season. 1. Nerves 2. Don't go Insane 3. Peanut Butter and Tears 4. So Beautiful 5. Scaredy cat
as a person of color myself, I appreciate she decided not to end the video as a blonde woman leaving the 'bad' things behind, she is just different but with beautiful black hair.

This is basically about this guy she was dating who was one of her back up dancers and he was actually gay and was just using her for what he could get out of her.
We definitely need a week 2 from Christina! So many other great music videos in her catalogue
Totally!!
Absolutely! And Christina live week 😊
Btw, Christinas fanbase is called Fighters, so this is kinda our teamsong😌
Yeeeeessss❤
aahhh that makes sense!!

what does being a boy have to do wth knowin how good this song is. shsh

The best coment ❤
This is one of her signature hits that's still sung in singing competitions today!
my favorite song from Christiana! The lyrics, rock element, moth/butterfly/ metaphor, etc. Total anthem!
the same, i love this song, smb shoould make a good rock cover, i think it could be goood :)
this song, video and everything it represents is the reason why her fandom is called "fighters". definetaly the best video of her.
we need week 2 with "candyman" & "ain't no other man"
As a teenage boy, I remember I was so excited watching this video and also behind the scene. I felt so connected to this song and beautiful. She is literally my hero.
The song was about her first manager that overworked her and then stole a bunch of money from her before she fired him and ended his career. Some people think it is also about her dad but she has a MUCH more personal and brutal song about her dad on that album.
There still so many videos and hits of her need week 2❤🎉
She's being a metaphorical moth, trapped in a glass case (probably by her ex), escapes, pupates, and metamorphoses to her final 'fighter' stage.😊
Nope. Not about an ex. She stated many years ago, this song is about her former manager.
Hence why I said "probably", I didn't really go through her old interviews, but it could fit someone singing about an ex too.
Christina te amo 😍😍😍
Fighter is one of my favorite songs from xtina
The song is both aimed at her father, who subjected her to abuse, and her debut-era manager, who mistreated and exploited her. Following this, she took legal action and switched her management to secure her artistic independence. She has been a fighter and determined individual from the outset of her career.

More more more.... Pls Christina Aguilera it's worth of a discography different genres and personas
Caterpillar -> Cocoon -> Moth
One of her best songs ever, my all time favorite of hers. Xtina is a beast!
Christina ! ❤

🔥beauty and talent

This song is fucking unbelievable and amazing first Rock song that’s powerful lyrics and the most amazing her amazing and powerful voice here 😮😮
Iconic video of Christian … It would be nice a power butterflie at the end of the video
I remember when I 1st heard & saw this vid, I was obsessed, even stayed up late that dayto keep watching it and requesting on a music channel called the box, here in London/ uk. My mums boyfriend would come downstairs couple times to turn it down
I’ve never been this early and excited!!
Such a beautiful creepy video. I know I saw it when it came out but forgot the details. Pure art.

I thought she was a spider at the beginning, but vodo doll is interesting too. 😮

The song is better than the video.
Said nobody ever
C'mon, that lipsync, maaaann 1:22 / 3:32:)
as a person of color myself, I appreciate she decided not to end the video as a blonde woman leaving the 'bad' things behind, she is just different but with beautiful black hair.

She is a moth pupating. It is about transitioning from one situation/stage to another
This song is not abt a relationship.
Reac to aespa..
It was towards her ex they dated un 2000 he was her dancer in the video come on over you’ll see him and now he dates men
This is basically about this guy she was dating who was one of her back up dancers and he was actually gay and was just using her for what he could get out of her.
❤❤❤❤
The song was basically about her dad, who was kind of abusive.
i always thought it was about her boyfriend who turned out to be gay
