Britney Spears's "When I Say So"--the full thing, not that tease of a clip we heard last year--has finally, finally, FINALLY leaked.
01 When I Say So by poppostergirl
On the list of songs locked away in vaults that you know exist but have never been heard, "When I Say So" has been high on my desperate-to-hear list. It's one of the songs BT created for the pop princess during the Britney era. The full story of how her work with BT went from album anchors and lead single (as the amazing "Before The Goodbye" was once meant to be) to one import bonus track ("Before The Goodbye"), a b-side ("I Run Away"), and an unreleased song ("When I Say So") can be read here. The gist, though, is this: inspired by the success of the BT-produced "Pop" by 'N Sync, Britney's people asked BT to work on material for her. When the album ended up going in the more R&B, dirty funk direction of songs like "I'm A Slave For You" by the Neptunes, the futuristic pop songs BT had created were set aside.Now, though, like manna from pop heaven, "When I Say So" has arrived, and it's just as good as we could have imagined--not just better than most of the songs on Britney, but one of Britney's best songs, period.
"When I Say So" is not available for purchase anywhere, but you can support Britney and BT's work together by buying "Before The Goodbye" on Britney here
(physical).
