It's so sad to look at how she was doing well (or as well as one could be doing given the circumstances) around Glory, and they did their best to ruin that. Whatever happened in 2019 seems to have been the worst of it all.
Yeah Britney obviously likes Work Bitch it's one of the few songs she mentioned in her book, so I'm cool with it.
I've honestly never gotten the hype surrounding Work Bitch. "The only song I kept from Britney Jean is Work Bitch" is something I see a lot, nope not for me. It's just as vapid, hollow and empty as the other songs on the record.
Glory remains one of her best though, it's a shame we'll probably never have a follow-up.

It's one of the best songs for a workout (and its fun).
Ah, I don't exercise so maybe that's why ddd
It’s not just you, I’ve always disliked it. I find the message behind it gross and she sounds robotic. I listened to Britney Jean once and haven’t returned to it since.
The sick thing is they didn't want her getting well or they'd have less justification to keep her under the conservatorship. Well it didn't work anyway, but still left her with a load of poor mental health and trauma.
Work Bitch is the only song I return to from that album, but even then I feel a little uneasy. I’ve been a huge Britney fan since Baby…, but after learning all that happened during the conservatorship - how they forced her to tour and record against her will, using her children as a bargaining tool - I feel conflicted by it all. The first four albums, remix and greatest hits, no problem. Glory, all good. But the rest… it’s hard to separate the music from the reality now.
I really like Work Bitch and it was a risky-ish, but good lead single choice. Her leads are interesting because they’re hit or miss commercially, but she always had a great second single waiting in the wings.
Not for me either, I kept Don't Cry and It Should Be Easy.
I know the latter is objectively a bad song, but I'm sorry, it makes me laugh because it's so weird. Especially love the line where she shades her boyfriend for being unattractive ("I know they're out there, them beautiful men, but you're my future baby, you're my right now") Poor David Lucado.
Work Bitch and Perfume are the ones I keep. Sometimes the ballads now and again, but I can't listen to that album in full.

I play Work Bitch a lot when DJing, and it always goes off. It’s defo a classic amongst the LGBT+s
Work bitch slaps!
The lyrics of Perfume have always given me "the ick" The whole marking my territory and I hope she smells it thing... It brings to mind dogs pissing on places to mark their territory.
Haha yeah I know that lyric is questionable!

The vocal when she performed it is great but the album version is Myah Marie.
