"Overprotected" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears. The song was written and produced by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub for Spears' third studio album, Britney (2001). It was released on December 18, 2001 by Jive Records, as the second single from the album worldwide. Lyrically, the dance-pop song, is about a girl who is tired of being overprotected and just wants to be herself. It received mixed reviews from contemporary critics, as some reviewers noticed the song as way for Spears to "break free", despite coming from a singer that is known worldwide since childhood. A version of the song, "The Darkchild Remix", was released in the United States and Canada in April 2002.

While the song did not perform well on the Billboard charts in the United States, the song peaked at number twenty-two in Canada, while reaching the top five in Italy, Romania, Sweden and United Kingdom. An accompanying music video, directed by Billie Woodruff, portrays Spears dancing inside an abandoned factory, while singing about being overprotected; the music video for "The Darkchild Remix", directed by Chris Applebaum, portrays Spears dancing and having fun with her friends. The singer has performed "Overprotected" a number of times including at the Dream Within a Dream Tour (2001) and The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004). In 2003, the song received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Background

During the Oops!... I Did It Again World Tour (2000), Spears revealed she felt inspired by hip hop artists such as Jay-Z and The Neptunes and wanted to create a record with a funkier sound.^[1] In February 2001, Spears signed a $7–8 million promotional deal with Pepsi, and released another book co-written with her mother, entitled A Mother’s Gift.^[2] On the same month, Spears started to record material for her third studio album,^[3] with "Overprotected" being recorded at Maratone Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Additional recording was done on June 2001 at Battery Studios in New York City, New York. Background vocals were provided by Spears and Bosslady, with the song being mixed by Martin and Rami at Maratone Studios.^[3] Her third studio album, Britney, was released in November 2001.^[1] In an interview with the Daily Record, Spears concluded she can relate to the "Overprotected" "on a personal basis, because I feel kind of overprotected. When I want to go out, everything has to be organized in advance. I think that other kids of my age can relate to it to a certain extent."^[4] The song was released as the second single from the album on December 18, 2001 in Europe.^[5]

Composition

"Oveprotected" is a teen pop and dance-pop song that lasts for three minutes and eighteen seconds.^[6] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly also noticed europop influences on the song,^[7] while other critics compared it to previous songs released by Spears.^[8] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is composed in the key of E♭ major and is set in time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 96 beats per minute. Spears vocal range spans from A♭3 to C5.^[6]

Lyrically, the song is about a girl who is tired of being manipulated by people around her and doesn't need to be told what to do,^[7] which is perceived in lines such as "You're gonna have to see through my perspective/ I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am/ And I don't want to be so damn protected".^[9] Dana Alice Heller, author of Makeover television: realities remodelled (2007), said that, with the song, "Spears addresses the problem of being a teen star whose personal and professional are handled by others."^[10] She also compared "Overprotected" with the singer's first reality show, Britney & Kevin: Chaotic (2005), saying that "Britney frames her makeover as a move toward to independence, a rebellion against overly controlling parents and their stand-ins."^[10]

Remixes

After being hired by Jive Records to create a remix for "Oveprotected", Rodney Jerkins revealed that the label "needed a remix that's crazy." Jerkins said the remix has "an old-school-type rhythm, which I think is kinda cool because it's an element [that Spears] never had, but I still gave it her edge. I was up all night rocking that joint. [It has the] same lyrics, I just reproduced the track."^[11] "The Darkchild Remix" was originally going to be sent to radio stations on mid-March 2002;^[11] however, the song was released on April 1, 2002.^[12] The remix was heavily played in dance clubs,^[11] and Jerkins said he wasn't surprise with the popularity of it,^[11] since "[Britney] reinvented herself. Everybody thought she was gonna come back with another 'Oops!... I Did It Again', but she went left and came with the 'I'm a Slave 4 U' joint, which is basically a club banger. You gotta big up people who reinvent themselves. I always said she was gonna be one of the people that's gonna be around for a minute, because I see that in her."^[11] Finnish musician and record producer Jaakko Salovaara also created two remixes for the song, titled "JS16 Dub" and "JS16 Remix".^[13] The latter was included on the promotional soundtrack of Spears' debut movie, Crossroads (2002).^[14]

Reception

Critical response

"Everything that's contradictory and frustrating about Britney Spears' Britney is laid out in its second song. 'I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am/And I don't wanna be so damn overprotected', our proud midriff queen snarls in "Overprotected", her voice hovering between testiness and aggression. Good for her, you think, until you realize the Max Martin-produced track is pretty much the same stentorian Europop of her past records. Spears may proclaim she's not afraid to make a 'mistake', but the song is a study in risk management."

—David Browne of Entertainment Weekly review on the song and album.^[7]

"Overprotected" received mixed reviews from music critics. Jocelyn Vena of MTV said that "with songs like "Overprotected" and "Let Me Be," Spears seemed to be letting out her adolescent angst,"^[15] while Kyle Anderson of MTV Newsroom said, "the real first blush with emancipation from [the singer] teen pop past came with [the song]".^[16] While reviewing Spears' third studio album Britney (2001), Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said the song, along with "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" and "What It's Like to Be Me", "are pivotal moments on Britney Spears' third album, the record where she strives to deepen her persona (not the same thing as her character, of course), making it more adult while still recognizably Britney".^[17]

Critic Robert Christgau also considered "Overprotected" and "Cinderella" as the highlights of Britney, while saying, "hardly the first not-terribly-bright teenager to approach self-knowledge via the words of others".^[18] Nikki Tranker of PopMatters said the song "is an absolute belter reminiscent of Britney’s previous big-bang singles, “Oops! I Did It Again” and “You Drive Me Crazy” [sic]", while commenting that Spears "sings about ridding herself of the girlie chains around her, gripes about her need for space in the whirlwind that is her life, and lets us know she don’t need nobody telling her what to do."^[8] In 2003, the song received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.^[19]

Chart performance

"Overprotected" attained commercial success in Europe. In France, it peaked at number fifteen, and was later certified Silver by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP), for selling over 50,000 units of the single.^[20] In Sweden, the song reached number two, and was later certified Gold by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), for selling over 10,000 units of the single in the country.^[21] "Overprotected" also reached the top five in Italy,^[5] Romania,^[22] and United Kingdom,^[23] while reaching the top ten in Belgium (Flanders), Finland, Ireland, and Norway.^[5] In the United States, on the week of May 4, 2002, "The Darkchild Remix" peaked at number eighty-six on Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed on the chart for five weeks. It also entered on the Pop Songs chart, where it peaked at number thirty-seven on the week of May 25, 2002, before dropping the chart in the following.^[24] In Canada, the song peaked at number twenty-two on the Canadian Hot 100.^[25]

Music videos

The first image shows Spears in the original version, surrounded by pictures of herself and phrases such as "Britney Mania!" and "Girl of the Year". The second shows her in "The Darkchild Remix" version, dancing with friends as they leave a hotel.

Original version

The music video for "Overprotected" was directed by Billie Woodruff and produced under Geneva Films,^[26] while choreographed by Brian Friedman.^[26] In an interview with Harper's Bazaar on 2011, Spears recalled the music video, saying, "I just think it says a lot. It was directed so well, it was really colorful and the dancing was amazing".^[27] It begins with Britney driving away from the intrusive media, with a part of the instrumental version of the song "Bombastic Love", featured on the album Britney, playing. She makes her way into an alleyway and decides to enter an abandoned factory, hoping her pursuers will be thrown off course. When she enters the building she begins to dance her way around the warehouse. Britney's dancers, having spotted her walking into the factory, follow her inside. They find Britney dancing around and joke about it, before heading into a heavy dance routine. Towards the end of the video, we see segments of Spears in a room with walls covered in pictures and articles about herself. These walls move in and out before the video ends, signifying that she is "overprotected". At the end of the video, Britney walks to a wall, and exits the building.

The Darkchild Remix

The music video for "The Darkchild Remix" was directed by Chris Applebaum and filmed in the first weekend of March 2002 at Los Angeles, California.^[28] It was produced under A Band Apart Productions,^[26] while the choreography for this version was also created by Brian Friedman.^[26] The full shooting took 23 hours,^[28] and Applebaum was said to be impressed with Spears' "stamina and patience through the marathon shoott, which wrapped 5 a.m."^[28] According to Joe D'Angelo of MTV, "the clip furthers her 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' crusade to shirk her adolescent image, as she and five friends outsmart her bodyguard with the old 'you're wanted elsewhere' trick and sneak out of a hotel and into an underground dance club."^[28] It was released on March 26, 2002.^[29]

The video opens with Spears and her friends in a hotel room, where a tabloid reporter on television criticizes her for the sexy, revealing outfits she's often seen wearing publicly.^[28] The singer and her friends express their disagreement with the report. Spears, determined to be self-sufficient and unaffected by media comments,^[28] then makes a phone call to her bodyguard, and using a cloth to disguise the sound of her voice, coaxes him to leave the area so that her group may sneak out of the hotel and enjoy the day. They run into an elevator and fool around briefly with the security cameras before going up to the main lobby. A strut down the lobby of the hotel and a short dance sequence follows. As they leave the place, they follow towards the dance club. However, before they arrive, they're caught in an alley by several paparazzi,^[28] and start to perform a dance routine in the middle of the rain. As they make their entrance, they're dripping wet, an image which makes for more sensationalist fodder for the tabloid reporter.

Live performances

"Overprotected" was performed for the first time on 2001's Dream Within a Dream Tour. During the performance, Spears was dancing to the song surrounded by laser lights. The video backdrop showed images of a bald Spears, with her hair growing as the song went along. However, the backdrop was later removed for unknown reasons.^[30] After the announcement of the 2002 extension of the tour, some changes were made to the setlist, replacing the original mix of the song by "The Darkchild Remix".^[30] The remix was later performed on The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004), during the opening act, right after the performance of "Toxic" (2003).^[31] Spears' debut film, Crossroads (2002), features a performance of the song during the credits.^[32]
