00:00Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the songs by Britney Spears
00:09that don't get quite as much love as they deserve.
00:1210.
00:13Can't Make You Love Me
00:18Oops, I did it again.
00:24The title song from Britney's Oops album is the undeniable showstopper hit.
00:28However, we're very lucky that it's not the only song worth our attention by a long shot.
00:32Britney cited Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know as one of her favorites, which shows
00:36a softer, heartfelt side.
00:46Then there's Can't Make You Love Me, a bop that contrasts with many of the album's high-energy
00:51It adds emotional range to an album full of pop bangers, giving listeners a glimpse of
01:02a Britney we didn't always get to see.
01:04Its universal themes of heartbreak and rejection, paired with her delivery, make it easy to
01:09connect on a personal level.
01:149.
01:16The Singles Collection
01:173 is one of those tracks that shows off the singer's sexy, sassy side.
01:20Written by Max Martin and Shellbag, it brings cheeky, flirty lyrics to a melody that's downright
01:25catchy.
01:33It's upbeat and playful, and Britney's auto-tuned vocals give it that cool, futuristic energy
01:38that makes it impossible not to get hooked.
01:40The minimalist music video highlights her magnetic showmanship and iconic dance moves,
01:44making it even more alluring.
01:53Even though it topped the Billboard Hot 100, it somehow got lost in the shuffle of her
01:57bigger hits.
01:58But with its irresistible hook, infectious beat, and Britney's playful charm, 3 is still
02:03one of her boldest and most fun tracks.
02:088.
02:12Ooh Ooh Baby, Blackout
02:16According to producer J.R. Rotem, Britney went into the Blackout album aiming to stay
02:20ahead of the pop curve, and this track shows it.
02:23Inspired somewhat by Nelly Furtado's promiscuous, Ooh Ooh Baby exudes sensuality with a smooth,
02:29sultry vibe that makes you want to move.
02:39The lyrics are flirtatious and seductive, and Britney's delivery is flawless.
02:43The production has this dreamy, hypnotic quality that grabs you instantly and keeps you there.
02:55Britney definitely doesn't leave much to the imagination here, either.
02:58The song's got that perfect mix of confidence and charm, making it one of her best hidden
03:03gems.
03:047.
03:05Till The World Ends, Femme Fatale
03:18Teaming up again with the legendary Max Martin, Britney dropped this Europop dance track that
03:22proves she's not just a pop princess, but a dance anthem queen.
03:33It gives us electrifying beats, an unforgettable chorus, and Britney at perhaps her most empowered.
03:39The song makes you want to stop everything and just dance.
03:42It probably even takes you back to your clubbing days, dancing among the masses who are going
03:46just as hard as this song deserves.
03:50If there was ever a track for Britney to reclaim her pop princess crown, only this time a more
03:59bedazzled version, this was it.
04:02We don't know about you, but we'll definitely keep playing this track till the world ends.
04:096.
04:14Man On The Moon, Glory
04:23While Britney's 2013 album, Britney Jean, didn't exactly light the charts on fire, her
04:27follow-up in 2016 saw the singer come back in a blaze of glory.
04:32Songs like Man On The Moon took the elements we love from her earlier works, but now with
04:36a more mature edge.
04:43Using space imagery, she sings about longing for a loved one, and the emotion in her voice
04:47feels like it could reach the moon and back.
04:49It's a softer side of Britney, with a romantic, dreamy vibe, as she imagines being reunited
04:54with her love.
05:03Another hidden gem on Glory is Just Love Me.
05:06Trust us.
05:07Give it a listen.
05:08You'll just love it.
05:125.
05:15I Got A Plan, Blackout
05:25During her Blackout era, Britney was a new mom, expecting again and facing intense public
05:30scrutiny.
05:36Critics focused more on her personal struggles than her music, but with nothing left to lose,
05:41she embraced total freedom in the studio.
05:43It allowed her to experiment and create something unique.
05:46The result was a track that stands out as undeniably iconic.
05:56While the lyrics aren't groundbreaking, the funky dance melody and the hypnotic repetition
06:00of the few words we hear make it a timeless dancefloor hit.
06:03It's a song that shows off Britney's boldness and creativity in a fresh way.
06:08Talk about silencing the critics and making fans scream, give me more.
06:164.
06:20Let Me Be, Britney
06:21This album is packed with underrated treasures that deserve way more attention.
06:33a bop, while Lonely is an empowering banger.
06:44Yet for us, Let Me Be stands out.
06:47It's a pop track with a twist that absolutely oozes attitude.
06:50If you're after a confidence boost, and a major middle finger to the haters, this is
06:55the track you need.
07:03Britney's 2001 album was her way of shouting to the world that she was growing up and Let
07:08Me Be was the perfect anthem to leave the critics in the dust.
07:12With its simple production, her raw emotion takes center stage, making it feel real, fresh,
07:17and unlike anything else in her catalogue.
07:233.
07:28Touch of My Hand, In The Zone
07:37If her eponymous album signaled her growth, this one marked her full transition from girlhood
07:42to womanhood.
07:43Touch of My Hand was the first song created for the album, one where Spears had more creative
07:47input.
07:51She described it as bringing balance to the album, saying,
07:54"...we just went there."
07:55The melody's eastern influences make it unmissable among the dance-heavy, attitude-filled tracks
08:01that dominate the album.
08:07In it, Britney confidently celebrates the joys of self-pleasure, sending a powerful
08:11message that there's no shame in enjoying your own company.
08:15This album offers a buffet of genres, with tracks like Don't Hang Up showcasing yet another
08:20side of her artistry.
08:252.
08:29Unusual You, Circus
08:31Britney wanted to come out of blackout with something a little bit lighter, and she says
08:35it in the title track.
08:40And she certainly did.
08:42But hidden among the album's big singles is Unusual You, a track that beats with emotion.
08:55It's so different from the other songs on the album, with its haunting, almost ethereal
08:58feel.
08:59The production is smooth and dreamy, and Britney's delivery is raw, showing a side of her that
09:04doesn't get much airtime elsewhere.
09:12We get vulnerability with lyrics that describe a love that's anything but typical, but still
09:16totally captivating.
09:18Honestly, it's wild this song wasn't a single.
09:20It's one of her most mesmerizing tracks.
09:29Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
09:32Inside Out.
09:34A multi-genre bop that proves why Britney's songs are timeless.
09:45Anticipating.
09:46Britney.
09:47We're anticipating that this song will now find its way back onto a few playlists.
09:59Shattered Glass, Circus.
10:01A dark electro-pop banger that shatters all expectations.
10:13Alien, Britney Jean.
10:14A soul-stirring tune about life under the spotlight.
10:25Bombastic Love, Britney.
10:27Another song from her early discography that's bombastically underrated.
10:56Born To Make You Happy.
10:58You don't keep your spot as Britney's most successful album without packing in so many
11:02awesome tracks.
11:11It drives us crazy that sometimes some of Britney's early hits get forgotten.
11:16And honestly, from the bottom of our broken hearts, we wish they'd get more love.
11:27Born To Make You Happy is one of those songs that deserves so much more credit.
11:30At the time, it was a risque move for her teen pop idol image, but it's a beautiful
11:34glimpse into her growth.
11:43The lyrics might not be the most progressive, but they carry this vulnerability, which just
11:48hits differently.
11:49Its smooth, lush production takes you straight back to Britney's golden era.
11:53It's pure nostalgic pop that makes us happy whenever we hear it.
