After meeting with producers Max Martin and Rami Yacoub in Sweden, the singer recorded several songs for the album, including %22Lucky%22. The song tells a story about a famous movie star named Lucky, who, despite seemingly having it all – fame, wealth, beauty – is truly lonely and unhappy on the inside. It received critical acclaim from music critics, who considered its melody and rhythm as sweet and catchy, and noted the lyrics to be about Spears herself.%22Lucky%22 achieved commercial success worldwide, peaking at number one in Austria, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, while reaching the top ten in several European countries. In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number five, and is Spears' tenth best-selling single in the country, having sold over 225,000 copies there. An accompanying music video was directed by Dave Meyers, and portrays Spears as herself and a melancholy movie star Lucky, who just want to have some fun in life. Spears has performed %22Lucky%22 in a number of live appearances and in two of her concert tours.
