PerfumeBritney Spears99rank/position
A gem of a love song by Britney Spears that delicately portrays the sweetness and ache of young love.
The lyrics, written almost like diary entries, leave a strong impression as they capture the anxiety and jealousy born from deep feelings for someone.
Released in 2013 as the second single from the album “Britney Jean,” the track blends 80s-influenced synth-pop with elements of a power ballad.
Written for women dealing with heartbreak, it’s a song that offers comfort to anyone struggling with love.
It’s recommended not only for those experiencing unrequited love, but also for anyone feeling the frustrations of romance.
