“I Wanna Go” is the third official music video and single from American pop singer Britney Spears‘ seventh studio album, Femme Fatale.
The music video which was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero was filmed in Los Angeles, California – and premiered on Britney Spears’ official YouTube VEVO channel in mid June 2011.
The music video features Guillermo Diaz (who has starred in movies such as Half Baked, and television shows Chapelle’s Show, Law & Order, and Weeds.)
The video begins at a press conference where Spears, wearing a cropped Mickey Mouse top (paying homage to her days in The New Mickey Mouse Club), is being asked ridiculous questions such as, “Is it true you banned junk food, smiles, candy, sunshine and laughter from your Femme Fatale tour?”.
Fed up, Spears says to the reporters: “Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you’re cool, fuck you – I’m out”, referencing a scene of the film Half Baked (1998).

Lyrics for Britney Spears – I Wanna Go
[Verse 1:]
Lately I’ve Been Stuck Imaginin’
What I Wanna Do and What I Really Think, Time To Flow Out
Be A Little Inappropriate Cause I Know That Everybody’s Thinkin’ It When The Lights OutShame On Me
To Need Release
Un-Uncontrollably[Chorus:]
I I I Wanna Go o o, All The Way ay ay
Takin’ Out My Freak Tonight
I I I Wanna Show ow ow
All The Dirt ir irt
I Got Running Through My Mind (Repeat)[Verse 2:]
Lately People Got Me All Tied Up
There’s A Countdown Waiting For Me To Erupt
Time To Blow Out
I’ve Been Told Who I Should Do It With
To Keep Both My Hands Above The Bl-an-ket
When The Lights OutShame On Me
To Need Release (*laughs*)
Un-Uncontrollably…
