Britney Jean Listening Party!
Britney Spears hosts her own listening party with her fans about her most personal album yet on twitter. She invited everyone to play Britney Jean as she goes into each track and answers questions from fans.
So in case you missed it, press play and let's go through it together starting with "Alien"! She let her fans know that the song deals with loneliness and how you can be surrounded at all times by friends, family and adoring fans who you love and still feel alone.
Starting with Alien :) Loved working on this track with the very talented @WilliamOrbit! #BritneyJeanListeningParty

Next up is "Perfume." She had everyone guessing who the song was about, however she just left it to everyone's imagination. Sorry guys, however she did let everyone know that the Perfume music video is definitely on it's way! She credits Sia for creating such an amazing song!
#Perfume is really just about relationship insecurities & feeling insecure about the person you care for the most #BritneyJeanListeningParty

"It Should Be Easy" was written with Will.I.Am about how we make love complicated.

Get ready to start dancing, because "Body Ache" is next! She let everyone know that at her core she is a dancer through and through. She literally cut this song when she was in the middle of dance rehearsals for her Vegas show.
And the next song is #BodyAche! I think this song speaks to my biggest passion which has always been dancing.
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
The show I'm putting together has more dance than any show I've ever done. I guess I was dancing until my body ached every single day. LOL!!

Breakups are hard for anyone and "Til It's Gone" speaks to the emotions you go through as well as the lessons that are learned. Britney loved reading about her fans told her listening to this song is helping them through their broken hearts.
#TilItsGone is a post-break up song, and it's true... You never really know what you have until it's gone. #BritneyJeanListeningParty
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
Life is funny like that. Think I've kicked myself a few times after breaking up w someone. Dont kno why it’s always so clear AFTER u breakup

"Passenger" was a song that Britney fell in love the second she heard it and how could she not, when the track was done none other by Diplo and written by Katy Perry & Sia.
I just loved this song and it spoke to me right away. RT @hausofbader The beat and lyrics are everything! #BritneyJeanListeningParty

"Chillin' With You" was recorded with Britney's sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, who is working on her first country album in Nashville.
.@jamielynnspears and I had SO much fun recording #ChillinWithYou!! #BritneyJeanListeningParty
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
She's more of a country artist and I'm obviously pop so we figured we would meet in the middle :) #BritneyJeanListeningParty

Britney is extremely proud of the final version of "Don't Cry" as it was extremely therapeutic for her. This song was by Britney and Will.I.Am who later included Foster the People who added the bells and whistle that completed the song.
Funny story about that! RT @EmreAkn I love the whistle in the beginning. It gives me chills. And the lyrics are soo emotional :(
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
When @iamwill & I were finishing the song we felt it was missing something. It felt like it needed something to make the song more unique...
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
He suggested getting Foster The People 2 help on production. I really think they nailed it. They added a few bells & the whistle on the song
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
The next song was written about God, who she compared to her "Brightest Morning Star". She asked fans who their Brightest Morning Star and some of the fans truly had touching answers.
@britneyspears my nephew who's 4 years old and has Autism.. My 'Brightest Morning Star' :) #BritneyJeanListeningParty

Get ready for "Hold On Tight". It was the first song she recorded for Britney Jean and helped set the direction for the whole album overall.
#HoldOnTight is a little different from the rest of the record, but I loved writing and recording this one!! #BritneyJeanListeningParty
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
It’s the 1st song I recorded for #BritneyJean. My dear friend @KooolKojak came over to my house w/ his guitar & we wrote this song together.
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
Next Up: #NowThatIFoundYou! This song just sounds like love doesn't it? :) LOVE the music on this track! #BritneyJeanListeningParty
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) December 5, 2013
Now for the second version of "Perfume". When she asked everyone which version they preferred the best, we had many people give their answers including a surprise visit from… Will.I.Am who tweeted…
