Britney Spears' 2009 hit, If You Seek Amy, is making headlines once again, more than a decade after it was first released. This time, however, it is not the foot-tapping music, but the meaning of the song that has left netizens astonished. The popular number recently made a resurgence after a TikToker highlighted a hidden meaning in its lyrics, pointing out that the phrase, "If You Seek Amy" was sung by Spears with a specific voice modulation and inflection, so that the syllables sound like "Eff You See Kay me," which translates into "F**k me." Ever since then, netizens have taken to social media to express their disbelief about the hidden meaning. Reactions have been pouring forth not just on TikTok, but also on Twitter, where people have been taken aback at the unexpected revelation.
