21 years ago today, Britney Spears released Do Somethin’ as the second single from Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. The song was released against the label’s wishes, and the music video was co-directed by her alter ego, Mona Lisa.

Multiple careers birthed on this video set

charli especially!

This is her last music video before K-Fed ruined her life

One of my faves of hers, it's also like a natural transition between in the zone and blackout

This was truly the LAST time we saw the Britney we know, after this her eyes and energy changed forever

Britney Spears showed exactly who was in charge when she pushed for "Do Somethin'," a track dripping with attitude that she recorded in record time to defy her own label's rules. 💿🔥 🤔 Fun Fact: For the video, Britney created her alter ego Mona Lisa because she wanted total creative control; she handpicked the outfits from local thrift shops to keep the look raw, and due to a legal battle with Louis Vuitton over using their print on a toy car's dashboard, the video was actually banned across Europe for years. 🚗🚫 Did you know? 🤯

The label still blocking the video worldwide even though the LV issue was resolved is definitely because of this.

One of her very best singles. A true classic!

Ended Mind your business

The natural star power she has. Hard to match. Hope she comes back on her terms sometimes. She’s very much missed

Do you wanna come over younger sister

Britney co-directed this mv. 👏

I don’t even know this was a Britney song she’s really the pop Bible 😭

Remember when we all thought there were hidden song names in the video. WAY before Taylor

One of her best videos btw

She was pregnant with Blackout

为什么违背了公司的意愿？里面有什么内情吗？

There will never be like Britney so don’t say other artist she is Britney daughter or anything cause Britney’s another level.

An ounce of promotion could've carried this more.
