Spears went to Instagram on July 16 to upload a video of herself singing an acoustic rendition of the popular song, a dramatic difference from the original 1998 release. The video was filmed on her phone as she was doing laundry, according to the description on her post:
“This is me doing washing and sorting clothing yesterday… I haven’t shared my voice in a very long time… maybe too long… now here I am at home, playing a different version of “Baby.”
Fans of the artist were ecstatic with the surprise video and went to Twitter to show their appreciation for the new, “revamped” version, with some even questioning when the tune will be available on vinyl.
Fans are adoring Britney Spears’ acoustic rendition of Baby One More Time.
Since the video’s release, netizens have been unable to resist their delight and have lavished praise on the singer’s acoustic performance. While some thought this rendition was better than the previous one, others couldn’t contain their pleasure at seeing their beloved singer return to her debut hit decades later.
