Sweet Dreams My L.a. Ex

[Guest Nata]

The lyrics of the song, written by Cathy Dennis, were inspired by Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River", which is believed to be aimed at Britney Spears, his ex-girlfriend. The lyrics are a message to the famous ex-lover who has talked about the relationship and break-up in public, with the person in the song now taking the time to deliver their side of the story.

"Find somebody else to talk aboutYou've had your say but now its my turn"The person in the song wishes their ex "sweet dreams", but accuses them of using the break-up to further themselves. Originally the song was written by Dennis for Britney Spears, who turned it down due to its subject matter. 

Blackout's wiki:

Winnberg commented that it had always been "anunwritten rule" to not write songs about Spears' personal life, since "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex", an answer song to Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River", was rejected by her record label. 

I did not knew this

Yeah, it's old. I'm glad this song wasn't in ITZ, it sucks

[M X]

This song is flawless and Britney would have slayed it, but ITZ is perfect how it is.

I used to love that song. And if it got to number 2 with Rachel Stevens it would definitely have been number 1 with Godney
