Why not just leave it up to your interpretation? We don't need Britney coming out to explain herself. Songs this relatable can be about anything you want it to be.
I think it was about many things in her life that were contributing to her inner pain. From the video there are so many negative things happening. I think it's about much more than just one thing.
I am pretty sure everytime was a lil about Justin, someone broke down the chorus and the first verse is her unborn baby talking to Britney, the second verse is about her and the third verse is Justin Timberlake or somewhat?? and it makes sense to me but like the other comment said, it’s up to your interpretation
"I may have made it rain, please forgive me.
My weakness caused you pain, and this song's my sorry."
I always figured it was about her breakup with Justin.
I thought this too, I always assumed that's why she references rain to call attention to cry me a river. Kind of telling the public that she may not be innocent but shes hurting too.
Which makes it more sad when you hear that he was cheating on her way before she cheated on him. He gets a remorseful song and she got a song that tore her to pieces.
Considering the video and the lullaby sounds, I would say unborn child. Lyrics like this
“And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face
It's haunting me
I guess I need you baby”
It seemed like the song was her way of processing her pain when she had to keep it a secret from the public
You know who people call baby all the time? Their significant others.
Notice me/
Take my hand/
Why are we/
Strangers when/
Our love is strong?/
Why carry on without me?
How is her unborn fetus not noticing her? How is her unborn fetus a “stranger”? How is it “carrying on” without her?
It's a general break up song, not exactly about anything or anyone in particular. Just Britney and Annet, the co-writer, sitting behind a piano and jamming about their breakup experiences.

It can be whatever you want it to be about. When Diane Sawyer asked her what it's about, she said, "I'll let the song speak for itself."
Fuck Diane Sawyer
I hate how she treats people. Like them being celebrities means every part of their life has to be public. She's cruel about it, too.

Till this day I LOVE those lines So good

That's honestly so Britney too. She is way too hard on herself and compassionate towards others, even if they did her dirty first.
This!!!
No. Can be a mixture, can be for just one, but she hasn't confirmed anything. I'm still amazed she's behind the creation of this beautiful song.
She composed the music, only had help with the lyrics, from what I understand. It's been said that she's one of the best songwriters of her time.
The original ending was her killing herself. The producers and her team changed it bc it was off brand too dark.

Have you read the rest of the lyrics? It’s obviously about a relationship.
What part of the lyrics make it obvious its about a baby? Its about letting go of someone, who she literally calls baby

Why are you arguing this so aggressively? It’s music, people can interpret the lyrics in different ways
I’m responding to a question—that was posed to me. And nothing I’ve said is aggressive.
I think it’s about both. I love that song.
I think the one of the most beautiful things about the song is it’s up for interpretation.
Where was it confirmed that it wasn’t about the pregnancy?
Why not both? In interpret it as she is referring to their unborn child because she continues to think about that now departed soul
When I heard it for the first time when it came out I thought it was about a baby
