Britney Spears' haunting Everytime lyrics as she makes apology after abortion
Britney Spears' fans are certain her 2003 song Everytime is about her abortion with ex Justin Timberlake.
The Toxic singer has revealed that she fell pregnant with the pop star's child, but decided to have an abortion as he thought they were "too young" to have a baby. Britney speaks about the difficult time in her memoir, The Woman in Me, in which she lifts the lid on her highly publicised life.
In extracts of the book seen by People Magazine, Britney writes that her then-boyfriend "wasn't happy" when she told him she was pregnant. She claims he said they weren't ready to be parents, which led to her ending the pregnancy.
In the book, which was released worldwide on October 23, Britney writes: "But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young."

If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father."
She added: "To this day, it’s one of the most agonising things I have ever experienced in my life."
