(INTRO)

One, two, three, and

(BEAT DROP)

Gimme gimme
One, two, three, four
Get your *** out on the dance floor
Work it, action, direct the scene
Cut, take 5, and you’ll see what I mean
Let go, you only got one chance
Shake you off, boy, bad romance
It might grab a hold of you tightly
Hold you close and cradle you nightly

It’s all up inside of your mind
Earworm in, better press rewind
They won’t let you be alone
Holdin’ cards that they never fold
Break free from the chains they’ve made
Burn the bushes in the maze they shaped
It’s toxic, but they’ll rue the day
Wipe the SAN, overwrite the tray

Brave new girl, show ‘em you’re fine
Stronger than hit baby one more time
Outrageous, choose a time and place
Flush ‘em out girl, ace of spades
Before the goodbye, the beat goes on
Give me a sign, and we’ll be gone
When you’re ready to get in the zone
Britney, don’t let us be the last to know

(VERSE 1 OF “GIMME MORE” BEGINS)

ABOUT THIS WORK

Once upon a time, in my teenage youth, I was a Britney Spears superfan.

I didn't have massive collection of memorabilia, but I did have a fan website that I managed for many years.

As with most fandoms, the magic of stardom dwindles as you grow up and older.

Still, I can't help but enjoy her music, and "Gimme More" is one of my favorite songs.

I was inspired to write a remix of the song in the midst of the #FreeBritney movement.

Finally, she's in control of her own future, now.
