Britney Spears in undoubtably one of the greatest pop-stars to ever grace this planet – and still is in our very humble view.
The singer is marking a very special day today (13 January) as her number one hit the UK, Toxic, marks it’s 20th anniversary. A statement that will make many of us feel old, having remembered it’s release incredibly well.
Two decades on, and Toxic is still a hit with streamers and can be sure to get people on their feet at a good wedding. But the song contains a deep hidden meaning, and many will not know that it was actually written about Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick.

With Britney having achieved global super-stardom status at a very young age and landing six UK number one selling tracks, it’s no wonder that the hitmaker has had to find other ways in life to communicate her feelings. It would appear that she does so through the lyrics of many of her songs.
Here, Daily Star uncovers the many concealed connotations hidden within her music.
Toxic
The link between Pop-princess and Super-vet Noel Fitzpatrick may come as quite a surprise to many – and rightly so because the only person they have in common is that they once knew the co-writer of Toxic Cathy Dennis.
Toxic was released in 2004 but written in 2003 – which is the same year that she broke up with the animal doctor. It would seem that himself is Noel fully aware that the song which includes the verse “i’m addicted to you, don’t you know that your toxic” could actually be about him.
In a previous chat on This Morning, Holly Willoughby excitedly probed: “Are you who that song is written about? Is it you? Please say yes.”
To which Fitzpatrick responded: “You may have to ask Kylie Minogue whether I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head is written about me.” With Cathy also penning that piece for the Australian bombshell.
More recently a resurfaced tweet caught much attention, with PopB***h telling the world on X – formerlyTwitter: “The man who inspired the Britney Spears track Toxic was someone that the song’s co-writer Cathy Dennis had been dating in the early 2000s, who broke up with her in 2003: Noel Fitzpatrick.
“It’s unlikely you’d have known who he was at the time (unless you had a sick spaniel) but he’s better known to most people nowadays as Channel 4’s Supervet!”
If U Seek Amy
Britney Spears’ loyal army of fans were losing their minds after one smart cookie cracked the code about If U Seek Amy from her sixth studio album. It was thought to have double meaning with “If U Seek Amy,” actually spelling out “F**k me”.
One fan kick off the internet storm on X, writing: “13 years ago, Britney spears released ‘if u seek amy’ and subtly taught us how to spell the f word”.
This was met with an onslaught from her loyal legion, one person penned: “Wait – you’re telling me the song wasn’t about a popular girl named Amy that everyone was looking for…?!,” another chimed in: “Oh my god i never realised and i love this song. OMG,” as a third remarked: “Oh my god… if u seek amy… f-*-*-k me… HOW IS THIS JUST NOW CLICKING FOR ME???”
Everytime
Last year the world was sent in to spin after learning that Britney Spears had actually been pregnant with Justin Timberlake’s baby. With the hitmaker opting to abort her unborn child after the NYSNC star had told her he “wasn’t ready to be a dad”.
In extracts from her memoir The Woman In Me – which has been seen by People Magazine – Britney claimed her then-boyfriend “wasn’t happy” when she told him she was pregnant and they eventually terminated the pregnancy.
Fans became certain that Britney’s most emotional track of all time Everytime was released to shine a light on her heartbreaking procedure. Lyrics include “I guess I need you, baby,” “I see your face, you’re haunting me,” and in the music video Britney sings these words as a baby is born in the background.
One person penned: “That explains a lot, why the songs sounds like a lullaby and she says ‘My weakness caused you pain, and this song’s my sorry’, ‘I guess I need you baby.” However, after much speculation, Annet Artani who co-wrote the track came forward explaining that to her knowledge the lyrics didn’t hold a hidden meaning they just “rhymed”.

For decades now fans alike have been trying to understand the meaning behind “Hit Me Baby, One More Time”.
As it goes, it’s not even remotely relative to anything that an ordinary person may associate with song such as physical violence or a metaphor for something sexual. Instead it turns out that the record that dominate the globe was actually formed over one insanely huge misunderstanding.
The Huffington Post, previously brought the mistake to the surface after spotting in John Seabrook’s book of pop music history, he had detailed that Swedish writers Max Martin and Rami Yacoub had actually thought that “hit” was American term used for “call.”
Call Me Baby One More Time doesn’t quite have the same ring to it. But nether-the-less the song was a triumph any way so no harm done.
