The Plot: The video starts with Britney and her boyfriend in a hammock. Cuts of her cuddling with the guy beside a fire are also included. We also see her and her boyfriend on the seashore doing a love scene. Inside a tiki hut, Spears exclaims the words she wants her boyfriend to know. In the second half of the video, she is seen on a tree where her boyfriend reaches for her. There are also scenes where she is running on the beach and her boyfriend is chasing after.
Britney knows the guy cares about her and loves her, but she wants him to tell it to her. This video is about expressing feelings to each other.

History:
The video, directed by steamy lensman Herb Ritts, features 23-year-old model in a series of tawdry embraces with Britney - who wears hot pants and skimpy bikini top - rolling around on a a sent and stroking each other near the sea. The video was so sexed up that Lynne Spears had to put her foot down and insist that some of the most extreme footage be edited out. Britney won some of the battle with her mother, but not all of it. Some of the scenes stayed in at her insistence.

Facts:
- The guy in the video is French model Brice Durand;
- The premiere of the video was held for St. Vanentine's Day, but due to some reasons (see "History"of the video") it was delayed;

- Allegedly, the sexual scenes caused Britney's then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake to become jealous;
