Britney Spears’ Official "Born To Make You Happy" Single Cover

“Born to Make You Happy” is a mid-tempo bubblegum pop song written by Kristian Lundin and Andreas Carlsson, and produced by Lundin for Britney Spears’ debut studio album “…BOMT” (1999). It was chosen as the album’s fourth single in some selected territories such as Europe. The song became Spears’ second number-one hit in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

The original concept was to portray Spears in a dream, lamenting over her ex-lover, by whom she was secretly pregnant with their child, but Jive immediately withdrew the idea once it was leaked to the public and received negative reception.

Directed by Billie Woodruff in Los Angeles from October 24-25, 1999, the music video for “Born to Make You Happy” begins with a shot of Spears sleeping. In her dream, she is wearing a shiny silver outfit and sitting in a blue and silver futuristic room with several different levels. Following this part of the video, Spears appears atop the apartment building where this room is found, performing a dance segment in a red top and black skirt. The last part of the dream has her love interest come into her room to see her. The video concludes with the pair having a pillow fight. The radio edit of the song was used for the video, it shortens two instrumental bridges, one in the middle of the song, and the other one towards the end. It was released in Europe on November 13, 1999

The video was originally only aired outside the US and was only shown in the US at concerts during Britney’s …BOMT Tour.
