Produced by Swedish duo
Bloodshy & Avant, "My Prerogative" is
Britney Spears' cover version of the second single from
Bobby Brown's 1988 album,
Don't Be Cruel. Replacing the new jack swing vibes of the original with a glossy synth pop sound, the lead track from her first official compilation,
Greatest Hits: My Prerogative, went on to reach number one in Finland, Ireland, Italy, and Norway, and the Top Ten in another 14 countries on its release in 2004. The maxi-single also includes an instrumental version, a remix from Boston DJ
Armand Van Helden, and a dub and vocal mix from British electro duo
X-Press 2.
