(Spears)
Album: Someday (I Will Understand) – Single / Britney & Kevin: Chaotic EP
“Someday (I Will Understand)” may be one of Spears’s lesser-known singles, but it marked a couple important milestones for her. First, she is the sole credited writer on this track, making this 100% her brainchild. Second, this is the only song to date where Spears is also credited as an instrumentalist, providing the piano accompaniment to the track. Though there is a tendency to interpret the lyrics as referencing her first-born son (largely because its beautiful black and white video features a very pregnant Spears), the pop ballad was actually written weeks prior to her finding out she was expecting. Britney’s vocals are beautifully soft but soulful. Though not nearly as memorable as “Everytime,” the song is an important moment for Spears and a fascinating insight into her frame of mind at the time and songwriting talents.
