What a lot of people don’t realise is music videos are so much more than scantily clad pop stars writhing around in mud (unless you’re Christina Milian). With many singers, the concept behind their video has been crafted especially for them – and frequently contain subliminal messages that the general public wouldn’t even pick up on.

So is this interpretation of Britney’s Hold It Against Me depicting her career so far, the hidden meaning behind the video, or simply just a coincidence?

And more importantly, if this is what the video suggested, was Britney even aware?
