This whole video concept is about Britney falling in love for the first time. Or how she wishes it would happen. Looking through binoculars, Britney falls in love with a guy she sees on the beach. But, she’s afraid to fall in love, so she launches into a full-out dream about actually approaching him and falling hopelessly in love. The video is decorated by an awesome Britney-esque dance on a pier, which is accompanied by her loyal dancers. Also included in this video are walks on the beach with Britney and the boy she falls hopelessly for. Just as the viewer believes Britney is able to leave all her hurt behind, the dream sequence ends by Britney walking away from the binoculars and away from their meeting.

Quick Facts:
Britney hurt her knee during the shooting of the film, which forced her to be hospitalized and take some well deserved rest.

Don’t be fooled by the warm feelings being projected by this video. During shooting, temperatures dropped all the way down to 30 degrees!

Britney’s love interest in this video is played by Chad Cole, an Abercrombie & Fitch model.

Bloopers:
If you look carefully at the lower left corner of the screen just as Britney makes a heart with her hands in the choreography, you can see the shadow of the camera.

Also if you watch closely on the person on the left when Britney is by the car you see the person scratch her crotch.
