"Overprotected" is the third single from pop music singer Britney Spears released from the album Britney in December 2001 internationally.
The song
"Overprotected" is another product of the pop songwriting team made up of Max Martin and Rami, though the track was produced by Rodney Jerkins. The single was released in its original state internationally, but as the "Darkchild Remix" in the US. Thus, there were two different videos released to promote the song. Britney declares in the song that she is "overprotected" and explains to the world that she cannot find out who she is, where she needs to go and what she needs to do if she is restricted from certain experiences.
Britney sings in Eb Major here and hits notes Ab3 and C5.
Remix video
For the release of the "Darkchild Remix" version of the song in the US, the video was directed by Chris Applebaum. This version is much more sexually-provocative in comparison to its counterpart, and sees Spears in more revealing clothing.
The video starts out with Britney watching the news in a hotel, when a negative story about her comes up. She then receives a call from her friends, apparently with an invitation to go out with them. Spears meets them in an elevator, where they fool around briefly with the security cameras. A dance scene in the main lobby of the building proceeds. After this, Spears makes her way into her limo. The interior transforms itself into a sort of dance hall, and Britney and her friends begin to dance.
Making their way to a destination in an alleyway, it begins to rain down on Spears and her friends. Now wet, the group dances suggestively, with Spears in the front feeling herself before the segment ends. At the end of the video, it turns out that Spears and her friends dancing in the rain was the news story being reported on the TV, revealing that the video had been a flashback to what had happened that day.
Tbe video faced minor controversy as it is extremely similar in its setting and lighting to the music video of Janet Jackson's "Son Of A Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)". Still, it was as popular as any of Spears' previous efforts, and the video retired itself on MTV's TRL.
Chart success
Despite its remixed state, "Overprotected" became another single on the steadily-increasing list of Spears' flops in the US, as its remix reached a peak of only #86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #34 on the Top 40 Mainstream. The single was released as airplay-only in the US, meaning it had no commercial sales to help it climb the charts. The track failed to chart on the Hot 100 Airplay, but strangely still had enough points to chart on the Hot 100. This is a somewhat noteable feat, and would be repeated in much the same with "Outrageous" in 2004.
