Britney Spears's hit single hits back at all of the sleazy tabloids and photographers who've devoted their life's work to making Spears look as tragic and trashy as possible to the public. However, no matter how clueless they portray her to be, "Piece of Me" is a clear statement that Spears knows exactly what her life has become. Spears acknowledges that regardless of whether she steps into the spotlight or tries to hide, the papparazi are "still gonna put pictures of [her] derriere in the magazines." The last line of the chorus identifies Spears as being "Mrs. She's Too Big, Now She's Too Thin," lashing out at the hypocrisy of tabloids, who can never be pleased with celebrity appearance or behavior, always needing to tear them down.
Overall, the song is a message of how the media stalks celebrities and says terrible things about innocent (and maybe sometimes, not-so-innocent) people. Spears speaks up for herself and other celebrities by mocking those who have targeted her and would like nothing better than for both her career and her personal life to self-destruct, thereby giving them something really juicy to put on their covers.
