Britney Spears' fans claim Everytime is about her abortion

Britney Spears’ fans speculate her song Everytime is about her abortion with ex Justin Timberlake: ‘I am completely shook!’

Britney Spears’ fans are speculating her song Everytime is about her abortion with ex Justin Timberlake – after the star revealed she had terminated a pregnancy in 2000 in memoir, The Woman In Me. 

The Toxic hitmaker, 41, who dated Timberlake, 42, from 1999-2002, conceived in late 2000 when the pair were both 19 – and released Everytime in 2003 – widely believed to be about her split from Timberlake and a response to his 2002 diss track, Cry Me A River.

With lyrics including ‘I guess I need you, baby’, ‘seeing a face in her dreams’, and a music video showing Spears watching on as a baby is born, fans quickly claimed the song and video were reflecting on her heartbreaking abortion.

In response to a tweet reading: ‘oh so britney spears’ everytime wasn’t about justin timberlake but it was about the baby?!’ – one fan wrote: ‘I am completely shook. 

‘That explains a lot, why the songs sounds like a lullaby and she says “My weakness caused you pain, and this song’s my sorry”, “I guess I need you baby”…

Others wrote: ‘the meaning of this song changed completely for me’, ‘this is so sad’ and ‘heart is broken, poor Britney.’

Another fan typed: ‘Poor girl had some deep trauma from this. Was never likely the same again.’

‘Wait why does that actually make sense… like the plot of the mv, and the lyrics?!?!?’ 

Another wrote: ‘Britney Spears asking to record Everytime one more time because she was too emotional hits much deeper now.’

The haunting music video for Everytime saw Spears as a star hounded by photographers, who eventually kills herself by taking prescription drugs and drowning in a bathtub.

The star then rises from the water and smiles – suggesting the death scene was a fantasy.

In her memoir, set for release on October 24, Spears claims she underwent an abortion because the N*Sync star ‘didn’t want to be a father.’

The star claimed while she wanted the baby and ‘dreamed of having a family’ with Timberlake, he ‘wasn’t ready’ for the responsibilities of parenthood and thought the pair were too young.

She writes in an excerpt obtained by People: ‘It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated.

‘He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. 

‘I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.’

The star said the abortion was ‘one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life’ in the memoir – set for release on October 24.

Britney Spears – Everytime lyrics 

Notice me, take my hand

Why are we strangers when our love is strong?

Why carry on without me? 

Every time I try to fly I fall

Without my wings

I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And every time I see you in my dreams

I see your face, it’s haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

I make-believe, that you are here

It’s the only way I see clear

What have I done? You seem to move uneasy

And every time I try to fly I fall

Without my wings

I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And every time I see you in my dreams

I see your face

You’re haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

I may have made it rain

Please, forgive me, my weakness caused you pain

And this song’s my sorry

At night I pray, that soon your face will fade away

And every time I try to fly I fall

Without my wings

I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And every time I see you in my dreams

I see your face

You’re haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

It was also claimed in the book Spears reveals she was raised ‘not to get an abortion’ due to religious reasons and what she had learned from her family, reports TMZ.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Timberlake, Spears and Simon & Schuster for comment.

Spears would later welcome sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden, 17 with Kevin Federline while Timberlake shares sons Silas, eight and Phineas, two with wife Jessica Biel.

This comes amid claims Timberlake is ‘concerned’ over what ex Spears’ upcoming memoir – The Woman In Me – will reveal about their past romance, according to a new report,

The SexyBack hitmaker is said to be ‘very curious’ about the star’s memoir, which will be released on October 24.

A source told Page Six: ‘He’s very curious what she’ll reveal from their relationship. It’s eating at him.’

A publishing insider also denied the book was a ‘takedown’ of anyone, saying: ‘This is Britney finally getting a chance to tell her empowering story and it’s nothing more than that.’

Justin and Britney dated as teenagers after meeting at The Mickey Mouse Club and were an iconic star duo. 

They split abruptly in 2002 and rumors soon emerged that she’d cheated on him.

His career soared. Albums and songs were promoted under the narrative that Spears broke his heart. In the music video for his 2002 hit Cry Me A River, he even used a Britney lookalike. Britney was vilified for their break-up.

In 2018 Timberlake  said he was so emotional following his split from  Spears that he unloaded his feelings by writing Cry Me a River in just two hours.

The former teen heartthrob’s hit song has long been rumored to be about the pop princess, following claims she cheated on him.

The star wrote of the breakup ballad: ‘I’ve been scorned. I’ve been p***ed off. The feelings I had were so strong I had to write it.

‘I translated my feelings into a form where people could listen and hopefully relate to it. People heard me and they understood it because we’ve all been there.’

Timberlake didn’t mention Spears by name in his book but made clear he was a changed man, crediting wife Jessica and  son Silas for his transformation, he wrote in Hindsight: And All The Things I Can’t See in Front of Me.

In the tome, Timberlake insisted his most defining moment has been becoming a father to son Silas, who was born in April of 2015, writing: ‘Having a child has been the pinnacle of my life.’ 

Timberlake writes when he first saw his son: ‘I had such intense feelings – nothing that I’ve ever experienced can compare to it.’

In 2021 Timberlake wrote in an open apology that he was ‘deeply sorry’ and would ‘take accountability’ admitting that he had ‘failed’ her, after their relationship came under fresh scrutiny following the release of documentaries looking into Spears’ conservatorship. 

In a Instagram post, Timberlake said: ‘I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.’ 

Timberlake’s apology comes after he was tagged in social media posts about Spears and the campaign to release her from a conservatorship held by her father. 

It has been highlighted in a documentary, Framing Britney Spears, which lays bare how Spears has, according to her fans, been exploited by the men in her life. 

In a 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer, Sawyer asked Spears: ‘He’s gone on television and pretty much said you broke his heart,you did something that caused him so much pain. What did you do?’ 

Britney, then 21, replied: ‘We’re both really young. It was kind of waiting to happen. I will always love him.

‘Everyone has a side of their story and to make them feel a certain way, make them feel, you know… I’m not saying he’s wrong and I’m not saying he’s right either.’  

Timberlake didn’t shy away from speaking about their interview. In one example, he was asked: ‘I have to ask, did you f**k Britney Spears?’

He laughed, sighed, then said: ‘Oh man, OK I did it’.

Candid: The book will also go into detail about the longtime conservatorship Spears lived under that father Jamie Spears controlled from 2008 until 2021.

In an interview with The Telegraph in 2002, he also said: ‘The break-up was absolutely heartbreaking for me.  

‘I can’t just have meaningless relationships with women. I have to find Miss Right in order to have a relationship. There’s got to be that big moment when she comes along.’ 

Spears’ book will also go into detail about the longtime conservatorship Spears lived under that father Jamie Spears controlled from 2008 until 2021.

The book’s summary reads: ‘A brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith and hope’.

Spears announced she was writing a book in February of 2022 in an Instagram post.

‘Well I’m writing a book at the moment and as it’s actually healing and therapeutic… it’s also hard bringing up past events in my life … I’ve never been able to express openly!!!’ she said. 

The Toxic artist addressed fans on the status of the forthcoming tome, as well as the delays, via social media this past May.

‘I almost feel like my life in the business has always been that girl at school who was bullied and laughed at!!!’ she said. ‘But in my case there is no superior person to set it straight!!!’

She continued: ‘I think some people are wanting to hear my story … either through a book or what have you??? I’ve had to stop a couple of times!!! It may take me a year, maybe longer who knows … to share my story !!!’

Jason Alexander (2004)

Britney’s first (brief) marriage was to Jason Alexander, who had been her friend since childhood. He ended up crashing her wedding to Sam on the morning of the nuptials. 

The couple tied the knot on a whim in the early morning hours on January 3, 2004 during a ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were both 22 years old at the time.

Their marriage was annulled 55 hours later, which Alexander later claimed was forced by Britney’s mother, Lynne, and Britney’s management. Following the annulment, Spears said in an interview: ‘It was me being silly, being rebellious.’

The 40-year-old was easily able to scale a fence, descend a rocky hillside and slip inside the wedding venue, all-the-while telling security exactly who he was, and why he was there – just hours before the fairytale ceremony got underway.

Alexander’s arrest is the third arrest in 13 months. Police sources revealed he also has a felony warrant for larceny in another county.

He was last in police custody for driving under the influence in January 2021 and breaking security protocols at an airport in August. Alexander was also arrested previously for violating an order of protection and stalking an unidentified woman in December 2021.

On Thursday night, Spears’ attorney revealed he was ‘absolutely livid’ after Alexander crashed the pop star’s wedding venue and demanded he be locked up.

The songstress’ next relationship also resulted in a marriage. 

Britney and Kevin Federline, a backup dancer, would go on to share her two sons: Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15.

The couple divorced in 2007, and it was her struggles with custody that factored into the creation of her conservatorship.

Reflecting on their union, Rotem later said: ‘It was kind of a stupid phase I was going through, where I wouldn’t say that I was being a bad person but I would say that I was being not very genuine to who I am and what it is that I’m supposed to do.’ 

Passing through: Britney hit the dating scene quickly following her divorce when she got together with the music producer J. R. Rotem, though the relationship appears to have been short-lived

Their breakup was described as ‘amicable,’ and Cohen later said of their relationship: ‘By the time I met Britney she was burnt out. She knew she had been drinking and partying as a way to try to banish the bad stuff from her life. 

‘Far from the trashy drunk, I saw a very shy, sweet girl who was just desperately sad about what had happened with her marriage.’
