"Burned" is a possible unreleased song by American recording artist Britney Spears, intended for her fifth studio album, Blackout. It was written by Caitlin Evanson, Kara DioGuardi and Farid "Fredwreck" Nasser, and produced by the latter pair.
Background[]
In December of 2006, Fredwreck did an interview with DubCNN. When asked about working with Spears, Fredwreck responded:
| “ | Yeah, I’m working on Britney Spears album, Hilary Duff. Doing some pop records with them and some other artists too that I got contracts with but can’t expose, but yeah I’m doing some pop records with them, Hilary Duff album is coming out real bangin’ and Britney Spears, we did like three songs and all of them have come out bangin’.[1] | ” |
One of the three songs that Spears recorded with him was "Ooh Ooh Baby", which was released as the tenth track on Blackout.
The two songs that did not make the final cut were recorded by Hilary Duff for her album, Dignity.[2]
Duff's songs "Burned" and "Dreamer" were produced by Fredwreck, but it is unconfirmed if those are the songs that Spears recorded.[3]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
What's wrong with me?
I get lonely in a crowd
Everyone is smiling
But I made myself left out
[Verse 2]
I've got an imaginary shield around me
But nobody's ever really gotten through
I keep thinking that they're gonna break me free
But they never do, no
[Chorus]
When somebody's knocking
When somebody wants me
When somebody's trying
To love me completely
I get scared
Don't know how it works
Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?
Don't wanna get burned
[Verse 3]
There's a thickness in the air
Weighing heavy on my heart
Why can't I just fit in?
Why can't I do what everyone else does?
[Verse 4]
People come around like a storm
When you least expect them to
Me? I run for cover when I should
Really face the truth, oh
[Chorus]
When somebody's knocking
When somebody wants me
When somebody's trying
To love me completely
I get scared
Don't know how it works
Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
What's wrong with me?
I get lonely in a crowd
Everyone is smiling
But I made myself left out
[Chorus]
When somebody's knocking
When somebody wants me
When somebody's trying
To love me completely
I get scared
Don't know how it works
Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?
[Chorus]
When somebody's knocking
When somebody wants me
When somebody's trying
To love me completely
I get scared
Don't know how it works
Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?
[Outro]
I get scared (I get scared)
Don't know how it works (Don't know how it works)
Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?
(Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?)
I get scared (I get scared)
Don't know how it works (Don't know how it works)
Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?
(Will somebody save me, or will I get burned?)
I get scared (I get scared)
Don't know how it works (Don't know how it works)
Will somebody save me, or will I get... (Will somebody save me?)
Burned?
