I think that Work Bitch is a really personal song. Seriously.

[Bianca]

yes she works hard and she tells them pressed and jelaous ppl to get to work

[Joanhs]

Not saying you are wrong or wright, I don't believe its like that, but I'll give you some credit for putting thoughts into it
I still think it's personal, even though she isn't talking about herself..

[slavesnake]

That's a very clever interpretation!

[tarotx]

Well Britney loves sex but not all songs have to be personal I think Tik Tik Boom is probably one of the only urban songs she finished and that she could take a writing credit for... I do think there is an element of relationship end and recycle from a better place on BJ.

 

 

Body ache well it's a song that RCA made Britney finish&add after WB under performed but Britney was probably attracted to it because she was in the middle of getting POM ready and recording, Her body ached

OMG you're so right   , thank you   .... 

Can you do an explanation thread for "tik tik boom" and "body ache"  please, I guess I haven't found the "personal element" for those ones   

[workbxxch]

i think the album is personal...sure, its not about her sex life (well except tik tik boom? ) or her breakdown, but it is personal.. 

[Guest blehh]

Omg i fucking love u I believe you because what you're saying makes perfect sense , they did use Britney like a money making machine her entire career, and those are the words she's been listening her entire life.And since blackout came out I am convinced she doesn't enjoy the word bitch related to her name one bit, she is humble polite and shy, I bet they just forced this expression on her to create some badass bitch image, thank you for the interpretation, well done

I was joking     ... But thank you so much for your explanation 

[mmmyeah]

How awesome. I've never looked at the song this way.

[Yatz]

It make sense!

But at some point she had the party, living fancy and all that too..

[WorkbitchPerfume]

Amazing thread! Here comes my interpretation

Work Bitch

"You wanna hot body

You wanna bugati

You wanna maserati

You better work bitch

You wanna lamborghini

Sip martinis

Look hot in a bikini

You better work bitch

You wanna live fancy

Live in a big mansion

Party in France

You better work bitch"

I'd say this part is encouraging people to work. If you really want to have something, you better work. For example it's encouraging those who want to have what she has to work, like she has also worked hard.

"Now get to work bitch"

encourages people to get to work now

"Bring it on, ring the alarm, don't stop now just be the champion, work it hard like it's your profession"

work hard like it's not a problem because you are talented

"Watch out now, couse here it comes"

you have to be ready for hard work even when you don't want to

"Pick up what I'm putting down"

I'd say this is dedicated to wannabe superstars

"Spread the word, spread the word

Go call the police, go call the governor

I bring the trouble, don't mean to trouble ya

I make them bubble up, call me the bubbeler

I am the bad bitch"

Here she is the person who is working hard, not caring what the police, the governor or anyone else says. She is the bad bitch, you can spread the word, call the police or the governor, but she is not going to stop! I love this part, it's really fierce.

"Hold your head high, fingers to the sky

They gon try to try ya, but they can't deny ya

Keep on moving higher and higher

Keep on moving higher and higher

So hold your head high, fingers to the sky

Now they don't believe ya, but they gonna need ya"

This is my favourite part, it is really encouraging me. "They" might be all the people who hate her, her music and everything she does. It can be personal for everyone. People want you to fail, but you keep on moving higher and higher.

"Work it out."

repeating this shows that it really is not easy and you have to hold on and on and on and on and work it out work it out work it out... you better work bitch

Perfume

"Do I imagine it or do i see your stare, is there still longing there?"

Do I imagine it or are you still in love with the other person?

"Oh I hate myself and I feel crazy, such a classic tale"

I can really relate to this... when you are jealous, you really don't want to be jealous and everything is crazy

"Current girlfriend ex girlfriend, trying to be cool"

I'm trying to stay calm, but it's really confusing and worrying

"I hope I'm paranoid, that I'm just seeing things, that I'm just insecure"

I'd rather be paranoid and insecure than be really betrayed and left

"I want to believe, it's just you and me"

I really want it to be only you and me, I want it to be true, to know it is true!

"Sometimes it feels like there is three of us in here baby"

I really feel there is someone else (so probably Britney felt Jason was still in love with his ex girlfriend?)

"So I, I wait for you to call and I try to act natural"

I am so nervous and I can't wait for your call anymore. Where are you, are you probably seeing the other person now? Still I try to stay calm, act natural.

"Have you been thinking bout her or bout me?"

Who is really more important for you, me or her?

"and while I wait, I put on my perfume, yeah I want it all over you, I gotta mark my territory"

I gotta mark my territory with my perfume... I have to try to take you back

"I'll never tell, tell on myself, but I hope she smells my perfume"

I don't want to be jealous, but I hope she smells my perfume and knows that I am the one

"I hide it well, hope you can't tell, but I hope she smells my perfume"

I hide my jealousy well, but I hope she smells my perfume

[It's Jc Bitch!]

 

I don't think so... it's just a random song

[Derek08]

Work bitch is a masterpiece. The entirbritney jean album is personal besides Tik Tik boom. I'm sure she relates to all of the songs

[Richie]

I always thought the same, I mean not so deep but I was like: yes this is britney telling everyone how she got everything she has now: working hard

Great thread ;D

[tarotx]

Perfume is Britney worrying her relationship away. The song is inside her head. Her worries and longings and tryhard thoughts I really connect Perfume, ISBE and Don't cry to this same relationship. Britney can't help but worry, it's part of who she is now. Love should be easy but she still worries. And Don't cry is accepting that this love without trust isn't working so is over.

[Hamper]

There very well good be a more "deep" and "personal" meaning to that song.

All she's ever known her whole life was "work."

[tarotx]

 

 

I don't think so... it's just a random song

 

I just can't see how anyone thinks WB's just a random song considering what the song is about and what Britney was doing the months leading up to the creating of BJ. And then hearing the part of the first link I posted earlier....

 

 

Imo they started with the premise of advice to X factor contestants since that is what Britney had been doing in 2012. So imo it's Britney giving advice from a place of experience. 

 

It is the legendary Ms Britney Spears coming through making sure the wannabe's coming for her throne know what's it's going to be like as they begin their journey.

At the same time she's making sure they know her advice is from from experience she's reminding them that she's the hit maker 

 

And even the video Mor wanted to show Britney Dominating Bitches without being so in your face with the message

Baby, I just think that people overthink everything nowadays, I'm not saying that it is wrong, I'm saying that you need to enjoy the music instead of this, It's cool all that the user said about it, but no, the industry is too superficial they just care about money not about making music with sense...

There is reason to put thought into the album though. Britney said the album was her most personal album and Larry said:

 

She wrote everything on the album with collaborators. There's one or two she wrote herself. That's something she wanted to do coming in. She wanted to make it very personal. They're all custom made for her, based on what's going on with her life and in her head. 

 

And Ben Mor posted that picture that I have linked to in my earlier post. He captioned it with "DOMINATING BITCHES SINCE 1998!!"

Not for the sake of shading or messing with britney... but remember she and larry also said that she sings live all the songs in POM... so dont rely on anything they say nowadays, still it is just a generic song, i still love it tho

[tarotx]

Imo there's nothing Generic about the song. I've stated my opinion (with supporting evidence) on why I believe it is personal. As for what you said here, it doesn't matter if it's a lie or not in this discussion. The fact that they have called BJ the most personal IS the reason people analyze it. Which is why I mentioned what Britney and Larry said about it being personal in the first place.
