My Only Wish
Britney Spears Feat. Justin Timberlake & JC Chasez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I took a walk in the snow.
Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love.

Santa can you hear me
I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off
It just said this
I know exactly what I want this year.
Santa can you hear me.
I want my baby (baby, yeah)
I want someone to love me someone to hold me.
Maybe (maybe, maybe maybe.) he'll be all I hope in a big red bow

Santa can you hear me?
I have been so good this year and all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here
He's all I want, just for me underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here.
Santa that's my only wish this year.
Oohhh ohh yeah
Christmas Eve I just can't sleep
Would I be wrong for taking a peek?
Cause I heard that your coming to town

Santa can you hear me? (yea yeah)
Really hope that your on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Ohh please make my wish come true
Santa can you hear me
I want my baby (baby)
I want someone to love me someone to hold me
Maybe (maybe maybe) they'll be all the love under the mistletoe

Santa can you hear me
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here
He's all I want just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here Santa that's my only wish this year
I hope my letter reaches you in time
Bring me love can call all mine
(yeah yeah) cause I have been so good this year.

Can't be long under the mistletoe
He's all want and a big red bow
Santa can you hear me (hear me?)
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want. just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here (ohh yeah) Santa that's my only wish this year
Oh Santa can you hear me? oh Santa
Well he's all I want just for me underneath my Christmas tree




Oh I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Britney Spears' "My Only Wish (This Year)" portray a sense of loneliness during the holiday season. The singer takes a walk in the snow and observes couples holding hands and going out together, while she seems to be the only one without romantic company. She then addresses Santa Claus, asking him to grant her one wish - that her true love will arrive this Christmas. She wants someone to love and hold her close, and is hopeful that he will come wrapped in a big red bow.


The song emphasizes the singer's need for companionship and love, as she reflects on her own pursuit for happiness. She has been good all year and sends Santa a letter with her Christmas wish, hoping that he will listen to her plea. The upbeat music adds a touch of optimism to the lyrics, painting a festive picture of hope and anticipation.

Romans 10:9

9Β That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Matthew 16:24-26
English Standard Version
Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, β€œIf anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul

I almost thought this was real but I know Britney would not be ready for this. I love her so much. What a beautiful pure soul ❀

@rebecca8525

I’m glad it wasn’t real. That would just be cruel; to reunite Britney with her ex-boyfriend on national television when she wasn’t expecting it, especially since the breakup was so painful and highly publicized.

@JonDeth

Pure? lol! Lady, I'm the secret boyfriend she hid from the world and have known her since she was 13. She literally destroyed my life after she cheated on Justin with me 20 years ago and he lied about taking her virginity.

I kept my mouth shut for over 20 years but as usual, she came back on October 20th, our "anniversary", bullied me into having sex with her again, then married the dimwit she's with now. I messaged him, told him what happened and they spent a month apart! lol

My brother is a powerhouse name in film, TV and music video production BTW. The worse I was treated by industry women, the better jobs they gave him until now, he's rich, powerful, every major name and studio hires him and I'm stuck living in poverty and disability from being injured.
These people are all frauds and liars. I stopped watching TV 14 years ago.

@matthinz242

Too bad she’s a nut

@user-is3gk3tz8t

Is it AI or real??

@chelsey1087

That ending πŸ˜‚ Also I know this video is edited, but Britney’s cute smile, giggles and laugh throughout this video is the cutest thing. I love her smile so much πŸ₯°

@robertotodd

When she really smiles she is beautiful but in that case they are recited smiles and she seemed a bit annoyed, it was still the time of conservatorship.

@jackwoods9604

Both Were on Top of The World Back in The Day But Britney Was at Another Level....Some Could Say She is a Legend
