"Abroad" is an unreleased song by American recording artist Britney Spears, intended for her sixth studio album, Circus. It was produced by Danja.
Background[]
"Abroad", along with another unreleased track titled "Take the Bait", was likely intended to be included on the Britney: For the Record bonus disc.
Theme[]
Lyrically, "Abroad" is about a woman who desires an escape from pressures of fame and relationships, with the song's title implying a longing to travel or leave one's current environment. It was speculated to reflect Spears' own feelings of being trapped by her public image and her need to find freedom or solace outside of her usual context.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Let me see your passport
Please take off your glasses
Got to get through customs, taxi, baggage
You know you still love me
Sicily to the UK
Keep them hands up everywhere, follow me
I'm about to take you abroad
[Pre-Chorus]
Show up in your town
Second that I'm touching down
Go someplace we’ve been
Every time I'm with my friends
Sexy men whisper foreign in my ear
"She’s so hot"
You so naughty come on show me what you got
What you got
[Chorus]
Looked in the mirror today
Thought I had so much to say
But now that I'm face to face
I feel like running away
I need a
Think I just I need a getaway
Time for a break, a holiday
Timе that I make my great escapе
I need it now
I need it today
I need it today
[Post-Chorus]
Don't know where I'm going but I know I'm outta here
Don't know where I'm going but I know I'm outta here
I-I know where I'm going if I know I'm outta here
I'm going abroad, I'm going abroad
[Verse 2]
I don’t speak the language
But they know my name here
Frequent flier mileage
Platinum next year
"Bonjour" in France
Keep my head wrapped up in Hermes
Tropical destination
Get my rest and my relaxation abroad
[Pre-Chorus]
Show up in your town
Second that I'm touching down
Go someplace we’ve been
Every time I'm with my friends
Sexy men whisper foreign in my ear
"She’s so hot"
You so naughty come on show me what you got
What you got
[Chorus]
Looked in the mirror today
Thought I had so much to say
But now that I'm face to face
I feel like running away
I need a
Think I just I need a getaway
Time for a break, a holiday
Time that I make my great escape
I need it now
I need it today
I need it today
[Post-Chorus]
Don't know where I'm going but I know I'm outta here
Don't know where I'm going but I know I'm outta here
I-I know where I'm going if I know I'm outta here
I'm going abroad, I'm going abroad Abroad
[Bridge]
Today, I need a change of pace
To see some different faces, I need to get away
I need a break from you, I need a break for me
I need a break from you, I need a break for me
Give me a break from here
Give me a break, I need a break
Somewhere that I can clear my head
I need it I'm going abroad, I'm going abroad
I need it I'm going abroad, I'm going abroad
[Chorus]
Looked in the mirror today
Thought I had so much to say
But now that I'm face to face
I feel like running away
I need a
Think I just I need a getaway
Time for a break, a holiday
Time that I make my great escape
I need it now
I need it today
I need it today
[Outro]
Don't know where I'm going but I know I'm outta here
