Unveiling the Truth: ‘Everytime’ Isn’t About Britney Spears’ Abortion
Origins of the Song
Annet Artani, the co-writer of Britney Spears’ hit track “Everytime,” has recently shed light on the song’s true inspiration. Collaborating closely with Spears, Annet confirms that the emotional ballad was primarily influenced by their individual relationship breakups, with the majority of the narrative stemming from Annet’s own experiences.
Context of the Collaboration
By the time the two artists came together to pen this song, Spears had ended her relationship with Justin Timberlake nearly nine months prior. With Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River” already out, some speculated that “Everytime” was a response. However, Annet asserts that during their songwriting sessions, Spears never alluded to a pregnancy or abortion. Thus, neither subject inspired the song’s lyrics.
The Songwriting Process
Recounting their time together, Annet describes the close bond they shared. While working on “Everytime,” they would often sit side by side at the piano, pouring their hearts out. Their mutual pain and sadness from personal breakups served as the cornerstone for their creative process.
Interpreting the Lyrics of Everytime
Many fans believe that the line “I guess I need you, baby” covertly refers to Spears’ abortion. Annet clarifies that this line was based on her own romantic experiences and was not intended to hint at an unborn child. Furthermore, while Spears introduced the term “haunting” to the song’s chorus, both artists focused primarily on lyrical harmony and rhyme schemes.
Music Video Imagery
Although Annet played a vital role in the songwriting, she was not involved in the music video’s conception or production. The visuals, which include an imagery of childbirth, were exclusively Spears’ domain. Thus, it remains conceivable that these scenes might resonate with Spears’ personal choices, specifically her decision with Timberlake concerning her pregnancy.

Artani is a failed artist and desperate for attention.. she’s obviously jealous of Britney to be speaking about her now.. how can you say you’re were a friend and now gossiping about them 20 years later .. she should mind her business and not speak about things that don’t involve her…. Anything for attention.. so tacky
