This was gonna end up being the 4th single off the "Britney" album but the "Austin Powers" movie deal came up and she ended up remixing the "Boys" track and released that, I think that was a huge mistake not releasing "Lonely" I think it's considered as a lost hit :'( It would of been huge >:(
Anyways here it is, what do you think?

I honestly don't remember how it goes. But I do remember not liking it as much as most of her fans liked it.

I like this song. But i always felt like it was a copy of Janets "what about" from "the velvet rope."
I don think it would have been a hit at all. It definately wouldnt have done better than "boys."

I was soo pissed that they didn't release this as the 2nd single!! >:( This is the 3rd best song off of the Britney album behind Slave and Anticipating. It would have done so much at pop and would have been a huge hit.

This is my favorite track on the album. I love the edgier rock production, it compliments her somewhat weak voice by disguising its faults.
Very catchy

there is already a thread on this. Its ok but it shouldnt have been a single and it wouldnt hav eben a hit. its a rehash of Janets "what about" IMO. "Anticipating" was the only song that needed to be released, that wasnt.

I agree that it should have been a single - wonderful song and it shows a different side to Britney! She's good when she's ANGRY  |

It was great at the time, although I'm a bit bored of it these days compared to some of the others...
The real problem was them not even including Before The Goodbye on the US version of the album when it should have been the 2nd single.

Was 'I run away' meant to be on the Britney album? Because that's hands down the best songs she's ever done in my books.

These are two of my most favorite songs from her ever and It's a damn shame that neither of them were singles on the 'Britney' era. I think they both would've done very well. It's also a shame that sh!t like "Boys" got to be a single, and good songs like these got left in the dust. Both songs are AMAZING.

AGREED!!! Replace Outrageous Overprotected with Lonely and Boys with Cinderella and it would have been a done deal!!!
And to this day, I still picture in my mind what that Cinderella video would have looked like... I picture Britney in this beautiful sparley blue gown with glass slippers, long, curley hair with a tiara on running down these castle steps in slow motion... MAN!!! That would have been such a hot vid.... And the Lonely vid I picture it being JUST HER dancing in abandoned, dark basement, talking to the camera like it was her bf....HOTNESS!!!!

Definitely one of the best from the "Britney" album. This should've been a single, along with "Let Me Be" and "What It's Like To Be Me".

This would've definitely made a better single than "Boys" IMO. As much as I like Britney, "Boys" was fucking annoying. This is good though.

This was one of my favorites on the "Britney" album. She pulled off the songs that she worked on with Rodney Jerkins pretty well.

This was one of my favorites from the “Britney” album.
I’m not sure if I picked up on the Janet “What About” rip off that it kind of is.
I so hear that now.
I must have because that’s one of my favorite songs off of “Velvet Rope”.
I’m not sure if I liked “Lonely” at the time more than “Boys and Overprotected”, but I certainly liked it more than “I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman.
Who’s bright idea was it to release that…?
