Interesting facts:

 

Album was originally titled 'Hits' (confirmed by someone who worked at a record store that emailed a Britney fansite, they also said that the album was going to have 2 discs, which turned out to be true)

 

The album was supposed to include 4 new songs, rather than 2 new songs and a b-side.

Breathe On Me was rumoured to be included on the original tracklisting, but was taken off at the last minute.

 

In the JJ Flores remix of My Pereogative, Britney is heard singing 'tell me why' in the chorus rather than the man. This is possibly the demo version of the song, or a stem.

Do Somethin' was originally written for European girl group Melodi Brown. Their version of the song remains unreleased. An article written on popjustice.com in 2005 says they performed the song at a showcase in London in 2003.

I've Just Begun (Having My Fun) was originally recorded in 2003 for In the Zone. It was available to purchase on the iTunes store in mid 2004 & was also included on the bonus disc that came with the In the Zone DVD in North America.

The album, which was released in late 2004, is a 2003 photoshoot, exactly what did for Rolling Stone by Matthew Rolston.

 

 

The red shirt worn by Britney in the video for "Do Somethin '" is the same as used in the trials for the video for "Toxic," as we see in the MTV Making The Video: Toxic.

In Italy  "Do Somethin '" was never released as a single in physical, only radio and television. Indeed, BMG Italy, decided it was best to release the video for "Everytime" instead of the physical single, as it had never been passed in Italy due to the great success of "Toxic."

 

 

 The "Chris Cox Megamix" was released as a single before "Do Somethin '" and the official video circulated in several countries.

 "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative" had no promotion to allow Britney to enjoy her engagement to Kevin and her focus on the Origional Doll project was pulled. It is rumoured that Do Somethin was one of the tracks from Origional Doll.

No version of the album include the song "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart." Only the video was placed on the DVD.

Britney wanted this album to be a way of parting ways with her last albums and for a fresh start there after – and was still hoping to release the Original doll album.

Greatest Remixes: My Pereogative:
- Amazon reported in early 2005 that Britney was releasing a remixed form of her GH:MP album. 
- It was supposed to only be released in Japan.
- The release was cancelled, probably because Jive commissed B in the Mix.

Critics gave Greatest Hits: My Prerogative mixed reviews. Some felt that it was an accurate portrayal of Spears as the defining figure of American pop culture, while others stated that she did not have enough material for a compilation and also deemed it as premature.

On August 13, 2004, Spears announced through Jive Records the release of her first greatest hits compilation titled Greatest Hits: My Prerogative, due on November 16, 2004. The title was chosen after the album's lead single, Spears's cover version of Bobby Brown's 1988 single "My Prerogative". The cover was produced by Swedish production team Bloodshy & Avant. A DVD of the same name was also released the same day, containing Spears's music videos.Spears had recorded a song titled "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" originally for her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003). It was first included as a bonus track in the European version of the In the Zone DVD. In the United States, the track was a free download in the Wal-Mart edition of In the Zone, due to an exclusive deal with Wal-Mart and Sony Connect. When the deal ended in mid-2004, Jive Records decided to release it in iTunes Store on August 17, 2004. "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" peaked at number seven on the iTunes chart while it was speculated to be in the tracklist of Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. The tracklist was officially revealed on September 13, 2004. Greatest Hits: My Prerogative included three new tracks: "My Prerogative", "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" and "Do Somethin'", all of them produced by Bloodshy & Avant. A limited edition of the album was also released, which included a bonus disc with remixes of Spears's songs by different recording artists, as well as a megamix of Spears's hits.

Mary Awosika of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune selected "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" as the best of the new tracks, and added that "The rest of the album is a romp down memory lane of when Spears was the 'It' girl of popular culture, ruling the pop charts as a multi-million dollar entertainment should. [...] In all honesty, no one can deny Spears has recorded some great dance songs, and this album is the best way to get all the songs in one swoop".Faridul Anwar Farinordin of the New Straits Times said, "rest assured, fans will surely grab this one" and selected "Oops!... I Did It Again" and "Overprotected" as the best tracks. Annabel Leathes of BBC Onlinedeemed it "calorific as the KFC burgers dished up at her chav-style wedding; twenty finger lickin' tracks that mirror her trajectory from pretty pop puff to lusty strumpet".Christy Lemire of the Associated Press stated that it was premature for Spears to release a greatest hits album compilation after only five years, but highlighted "I'm a Slave 4 U", "Toxic" and "Everytime".Andy Petch-Jex of MusicOMHhighlighted the first four tracks and commented "true some of the tunes are complete pony plops, but beneath the occasional reek there beats a solid gold pop heart".

Spence D. of IGN said, "If Britney Spears' Greatest Hits: My Prerogative illuminates anything it's that Spears is a fairly proficient sonic chameleon, able to mimic and adopt the stylings of those who have come before her with enough panache and verve to convince younger generations that she's a bona fide pop revelation. [...] This is the kind of kitschy album that you can get away with having because Spears is such a prevalent component of pop culture." James Gashinski of The Gazette said that "As a time capsule, My Prerogative does its job well," but "Added together, the pop hits on this album are somewhat less than the sum of their parts". He explained, "Even if it isn’t as great a listen as a cohesive album, My Prerogative does work as a portrait of the time when Britney Spears was the defining figure of American pop culture".Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic agreed with Gashinski, but added "if you compare it to The Immaculate Collection, which captured the time when Madonna was the defining figure of American pop culture and does work as an album, it's clear that a cultural artifact isn't necessarily the same thing as great music".

Ann Powers of Blender said, "The hits collected on My Prerogative are as sticky as soda and almost as easy to rinse out. Spears will go down in history books, but not for anything she’s created, besides a world-class stir". She named "...Baby One More Time" "the song that defined her legacy" and also added, "In less than five minutes, it contains an emotional storm that is both widely public and deeply personal. If only she had continued to prove worthy of that heroic task." Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times said that "Listening to her hits all at once, you may be struck by the seductive severity of Ms. Spears's music: the beats are sharp as tines, the lyrics are filled with evocations of fear and control, the voice projects nothing you might mistake for warmth".

"My Prerogative" was released as the first single from the compilation. The song was set to premiere on radio stations on September 14, 2004, however, it leaked in the Real Tapemasters Inc.'s mixtape The Future of R&B on September 10, 2004. The cover was musically different from Bobby Brown's original song, and was noted for aptly referring to Spears's relationship with the media at the time.  It received mixed to negative reviews from critics, but went on to achieve worldwide success, topping the charts in countries like in Finland, Ireland, Italy and Norway, and reaching the top ten in another fourteen countries. In the United States, "My Prerogative" charted in Billboard'Top 40 Tracks and Top 40 Mainstream at number twenty-two and thirty-four, respectively.

Although no more singles were planned, Spears wanted to shoot a music video for "Do Somethin'" and pushed for it to be released. The song was released as a single worldwide except North America on February 14, 2005. "Do Somethin'" received positive reviews, and reached top ten positions in countries such as Australia, Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Although the song was not released in the United States, it charted on many of Billboard's component charts due to digital downloads and reached number one-hundred on the Hot 100. The accompanying music video was co-directed by Billie Woodruff and Spears, who appeared credited as her alter ego "Mona Lisa". She was also the stylist and choreographer of the video.
