I just finished streaming The Woman In Me by Britney Spears. Michelle Williams did a good job narrating the book as it made it very engaging. Looking back at the stories in the book, I can remember how mean the media was when Britney was at her lowest point. Without wanting to spoil the story too much, let us celebrate her most famous track on YouTube and my favourite.

Britney Spears, born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi, is an iconic American singer, dancer, and actress who rose to fame in the late 1990s. Renowned as the “Princess of Pop,” Britney has left an indelible mark on the music industry with her electrifying performances and chart-topping hits.

One of her standout tracks, “Toxic,” released in 2004, further solidified Britney’s status as a pop sensation. Written by Christian Karlsson, Cathy Dennis, Cathy Karlsson, and Pontus Winnberg, and produced by Bloodshy & Avant, “Toxic” is characterized by its unique blend of pop, dance, and electronic elements. The song’s sultry lyrics and infectious beats earned it widespread acclaim and commercial success, winning Britney Spears a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.

“Toxic” not only became a defining song in Britney’s illustrious career but also remains a classic within the pop genre, showcasing her ability to captivate audiences with her versatile talent and undeniable charisma.

My most vivid memory of this song was a lady pulling up at a traffic light in London and having this song blasting from her car. She was shaking and moving her head like nobody was watching. She was really enjoying her moment in the car.

I was also fortunate to see Beyonce, Pink and Britney Spears in National Gallery in Trafalgar Square London in 2004 with my University mates. At that time, they recently signed with Pepsi for a campaign and there was some sort of launch event. Enrique Iglesias couldn’t attend but joined via video.
