Britney Spears is not being reserved when it comes to revealing all her hurts in her memoir, including what she did professionally as a musician.

Fans are shocked by the disclosures in her brand-new memoir, "The Woman In Me," which just reached the stores.

Spears has everyone talking with her family issues and Justin Timberlake scandal.

However, Spears continues to open up about her career, which has produced a number of hit singles and enduring music videos, throughout the book.

She would prefer not to think about one of her videos, though.

Spears' 2007 breakthrough single "Gimme More" from her fifth studio album, "Blackout," signaled the beginning of a new era for the pop star who had spent the majority of the year in the news after having a public breakdown.

Although the song and its infamous "It's Britney, b*tch" beginning continue to be fan favorites, Spears admitted she doesn't like the single's accompanying music video.

Spears declared that she does not like the video at all because i's so tacky. While she did say the word, she implied it was done cheap, as the shooting cost was only $3,000.

Although terrible, it was effective for what it was. Spears is seen in the video speaking with pals in a pub before pole dancing there.

Even if Spears dislikes the "Gimme More" music video, Blackout is still a fan favorite. Spears herself likes it as well. "I felt so much freedom," said Spears. "Working with amazing producers, I got to play. I loved that no one was overthinking things and that I got to say what I liked and didn't like. I knew exactly what I wanted, and I loved so much of what was offered to me."

This revelation is quite sad, given how fans loved and still love the song. One can just read the comments to the music video and say it is phenomenal. While few commented on the actual music video, many said the song can be released now and still be considered fresh.

In a passage from the newly-dropped memoir, Spears also was honest about what she felt about her performance of "Gimme More" at the 2007 MTV VMAs.

Apart from touching on the backlash she received for "not having six-pack abs," the star also recounted the awkward run-in she had with her ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, whom she revealed she had a baby but had to abort, per the dad's wishes.

"It had been a while since I'd seen him," Britney wrote (via Page Six). "Everything was going great in his world. He was at the top of his game in every way, and he had a lot of swagger. I was having a panic attack. I hadn't rehearsed enough. I hated the way I looked. I knew it was going to be bad."

She continued, "There was a problem with my costume and with my hair extensions. I hadn't slept the night before. I was dizzy. It was less than a year since I'd had my second baby in two years, but everyone was acting like my not having six-pack abs was offensive."
