In the video, host Jonathan Ross asks Britney, “You are more involved in this musically, I understand, than previous works, so you’ve taken control. You’re more in control of your music than before?”
“Yes,” the singer replies, to which the host inquires, “Why did it take you so long? Why did you wait until now to do it?”
“Well, uhm, there’s a lot of reasons. But I won’t get into the whole story,” she responds.
After the host tells her that “we know a lot of the whole story,” Britney directly addresses the conservatorship she was under for eight years (though the singer said “three years,” the conservatorship began in 2008).
“It was, like, a thing since the conservatorship… I’m in a conservatorship,” she began.

“And I felt like a lot of the things were planned for me to do, and, you know, being told what to do, and I was like, ‘For this one, I want to make it my baby, and I want to do it myself.’ And I was very strategic about the way I did it, and that’s why it means so much to me.”
Jonathan then asks her if it’s safe to say she’s “in a good place,” to which she responds, “Yes, sir.”
“I hope you know this, but you have millions of fans around the world,” the host continues. “I know you know that, but I hope you know that they feel love for you, they feel protective of you, they want to see you thrive. Do you draw strength from that? Does that thought help you, or is it sometimes too much?”
