Lucky
♥Britney Spears♥ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a story about a girl named Lucky

Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for make-up, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say

She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say

She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night? (Oh)

(I, I, yeah, oh) Whoa
Best actress, and the winner is Lucky (whoa)
(I, I, yeah, oh) Whoa
I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News
Standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky
Oh my God here she comes

Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?

She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there is nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?

And they say she's so lucky (so lucky), she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

(She is) She's so lucky (so lucky)
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking




If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

Overall Meaning

The song "Lucky" by Britney Spears tells a story about a Hollywood star named Lucky who seemingly has it all but feels unfulfilled and empty inside. Lucky's life is portrayed as a facade where she is constantly in the spotlight and praised for her apparent success, beauty, and talent. However, she feels lost and trapped in an image and a dream where there is no one to wake her up. The lyrics reflect Lucky's emotional vulnerability as she cries in her lonely heart at night, wondering why she still feels incomplete when she seemingly has everything she could ever want. The seemingly perfect life of Lucky that the world sees is contrasted with the sadness and loneliness that she feels.


Throughout the song, the phrase "Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?" is repeated to reinforce the idea of Lucky being an object of admiration and envy. From an outsider's perspective, she seems to have it all, but the song suggests that there's more to her than what meets the eye. The lyrics highlight the pressure that many celebrities face to maintain a certain image and live up to the expectations of others.


Overall, "Lucky" is a poignant commentary on the emptiness that can come with fame and fortune, and a reminder that what people see on the surface may not reflect the reality of someone's inner world.
