Short summary
In 2004, Britney Spears recorded a cover of "My Prerogative" with Swedish production team Bloodshy & Avant, who produced her single "Toxic" from her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003).
Bloodshy & Avant recorded the song at Murlyn Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
Spears recorded the vocals at Teldex Studios in Berlin, Germany.
Spears' cover of "My Prerogative" is musically different from its original version, with the bass and new jack swing sound replaced with a synth-pop sound, synthesizers and elements typical of Bloodshy & Avant productions.
Jennifer Vineyard of MTV commented the cover could be interpreted as a statement on Spears's life and the media reaction to some of her decisions at the time, including her engagement to American dancer Kevin Federline.
In the United States, "My Prerogative" failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 but charted in Billboard's Top 40 Tracks and Mainstream Top 40 at numbers 22 and 34, respectively.
"My Prerogative" has sold 374,000 paid digital downloads in the United States.
On November 15, 2004, the song debuted at the Australian Singles Chart at number seven.
It received a gold certification by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments over 35,000 units.
The song debuted at number seventeen in New Zealand.
On November 7, 2004, the song debuted at number three in the United Kingdom, during a competitive week of new releases, only surpassed by Eminem's "Just Lose It" and Destiny's Child's "Lose My Breath".
According to Official Charts Company, the song has sold 130,000 copies in the UK.
The song also reached success throughout Europe, peaking at number one in Finland, Ireland, Italy and Norway, number two in Spain and number three in Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia), Denmark and Germany.
It also reached top ten positions in Austria, Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
The video premiered on MTV's TRL on September 16, 2004, and on BET's 106 & Park on January 18, 2005.
The music video for "My Prerogative" was filmed in August 2004 at The Paramour Mansion in Silver Lake, Los Angeles and was directed by Jake Nava.
Rolling Stone in their article "Britney Spears: The Complete Video Guide", compared it to Madonna's performances of her 1984 single "Like a Virgin".
According to Spears's mother Lynne, the video was "about capturing gorgeous close-ups and very subtle movement" since Spears could not do any choreography due to her knee injury at the "Outrageous" music video shoot.
According to Jennifer Vineyard from MTV, the clip had the style of pornographic films from the 1940s and 1950s.
On July 2007, American basketball player LeBron James covered "My Prerogative" at the 15th ESPY Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California, wearing a wig and Hammer pants.
