The track, which you can listen to on Britney’s Facebook, really showcases her voice and delicate vulnerability. It’s a far cry from her sexy first single, “Work B**tch,” since she mirrors older ballads like “From The Bottom of My Broken Heart.” Is she singing about ex-fiancee Jason Trawick in the lyrics?

Do I imagine it, or do I see your stare

Is there still longing there?

Oh I hate myself, and I feel crazy

Such a classic tale

Current girl friend, ex girlfriend, I’m trying to be cool

Am I being paranoid, am I seeing things?

Am I just insecure?

I want to believe

It’s just you and me

Sometimes it feels like there’s three

of us in here baby

So I, wait for you to call

And I try to act natural

have you been thinking ’bout her or about me

And while I wait I put on my perfume, yeah I want it all over you

I gotta mark my territory

I’ll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume

I’ll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells your perfume

I hide it well, hope you can’t tell but I hope she smells my perfume

I hide it well, hope you can’t tell but I hope she smells my perfume

I wanna fill the room, when she’s in it with you

Please don’t forget me

Do I imagine it, or catch these moments

I know you got history

But I’m your girlfriend, now I’m your girlfriend trying to be cool

I hope I’m paranoid, that I’m just seeing things

That I’m just insecure

I want to believe

It’s just you and me

Sometimes it feels like there’s three

of us in here baby

Britney Spears Strips Down For ‘Britney Jean’ Album Cover

Fans were truly touched by the Holy Spearit on Oct. 25 when Brit Instagrammed a first look at the cover of her upcoming Nov. 29 album Britney Jean. And as if that wasn’t enough, the pop princess also addressed her fandom in a really touching — not to mention hand-written — letter. Here’s an excerpt:

Dear fans,

I’m putting the finishing touches on my new album Britney Jean … and I’m so excited for you to hear it. I followed my heart and soul with this album, and it’s been an incredible journey.

I’ve learned a lot about myself, and as I’m finishing, I am reminded of … the last 15 years. Thank you all for continuing to follow me on this journey and for allowing me to do what I love to do. I can’t believe this is my eighth studio album and I know I keep telling you that it is my most record yet, but it’s true — and I’m really proud of it.

I want to show you the different sides of who I am. I am a performer, I am a mom … I am your friend. I am Britney Jean.

Yours always,

Britney
