I still think it was about Britney. The timing and everything just lines up too well.

I hate when celebs lie about shit like This. You clearly wrote this song about Britney because you were butt-hurt about her getting with your backup dancer lol. You put in this whole effort for a song because your friend was cheated on? Yeah ok… 💀

Finally and we’ve had the same story about this song since 2006, not a single detail has ever changed. Justin is telling the only story he has ever told

We already knew that and we also already knew that K-Fed and J.T. were homies before he knocked Britney up and stole away her kids.

NYPost at it again. Justin gave the same answer in his Complex interview as he has for the past 20 years.

He did NOT. He said it was about his childhood friend’s relationship.

It's about Elisha Cuthbert. She dated Trace Ayala. It's not a secret.

Sag mal brennt euch der Helm? Ihr dämlichen Spears Fans hört auf diesen dummen Mist zu verbreiten! Das hat er nämlich nicht gesagt! Der Song ist über Trace Ayala und Elisha Cuthbert! Man kann das Interview im Internet sehen und ihr lügt hier rum!
