A model of media

Britney Spears

Britney Spears song Hold it against me shows Britney rejecting her past. Here is the music video of Hold it against me.

In this music video there was product placement promoting the product. One of the products was Britney Spears perfume. In this music video it shows Britney Spears facing her past as in the music video she is surrounded by TVs which are playing her old music videos. Further on in the music video she is shooting paint at the TV and fighting herself which means she is fighting her past. Also she is in the middle and surrounded by TV like she is imprisoned by her own past.  

Britney Spears song ...baby one more time

This song has a completely different style to it than Hold it against me. This song was Britney's debut studio and was released on January 12 1999.  This song became an international success as the song became popular around the world. This song is very different to hold it against me for many reasons, one being the costumes they use as in hold it against me she is wearing a wedding dress.

permission to use music

This is the message we sent to the band. We found the band on unsigned.com and they have not been active seen 2009 so it was very hard to get in contact with the band. All their social networks accounts have been closed and all we had was this email. We sent they an email asking for permission but we have not had any email back. As they haven't got back to us we are assuming they no longer use or monitor that email address. We have decided to still use the song anyway.

Seven days music video lyrics

I don't really want to
I don't really need to
Really would have been to
Cause it still won't please you
Know the path i'm going down
Know the way i want to live
So yo don't have to try in the
Sea of emptiness

Chorus (P1)
You only have one chance in life
So make sure that you get it right
so what you really want to know.

Chorus (P2)
So don't give up.
Don't give in
Don't let all the people in
Make you feel like
you were wrong
You were hooolding on


   This is not about me
This is not about you
Open up your eyes and see
You know what you need to do
