\n\tBritney Spears<\/a> wants everyone to remember who did it first.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Saturday (Oct. 17), the 44-year-old pop superstar took to Instagram<\/a> to comment on \u201ca lot of girls\u201d who have seemingly copied the \u201ccomplete image I used to have when I was younger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpears\u2019 lengthy post was accompanied by a video of herself dancing for the camera in a long-sleeved white button-down shirt tied at the waist, a short light gray skirt and red boots. The clip was soundtracked by Chris Isaak\u2019s 1995 song \u201cBaby Did a Bad Bad Thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd yo that\u2019s cool but at least mine was real,\u201d the \u201cToxic\u201d singer wrote. \u201cI was that nerd in school that was real as hell\u2026 the world has become fake\u2026 people who are actually real get hated on\u2026 which is a shame.. ok.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough Spears didn\u2019t name anyone specifically, her comments may allude to the schoolgirl look she popularized in her 1998 music video for \u201c\u2026Baby One More Time,\u201d which has surpassed 1 billion views<\/a> on YouTube. In the Nigel Dick-directed visual, Spears dances through high school hallways in a tied-up white shirt, pleated skirt and braided pigtails. <\/p>\n

\n\tShe may also be referring to other memorable looks from her early career, including the red catsuit from \u201cOops!\u2026 I Did It Again\u201d<\/a> and the crop tops and low-rise pants she sported during her \u201cI\u2019m a Slave 4 U\u201d<\/a> era.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTo all the girls who say I\u2019m History\u2026 I\u2019M PROPHECY,\u201d Spears continued. \u201cI\u2019m the original apple B school girl who did backflips and backhand springs and fell in love with people on every set I ever went to\u2026 these years were precious so young and naive\u2026 the world has been hateful to me and I\u2019m still standing, living, and dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpears wrapped up her post with a final thought on beauty and appearance, adding, \u201cPS no makeup makes you look WAY younger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe post comes after Spears released \u201cShe\u2019ll Never Be Me,\u201d a previously unreleased song<\/a> co-written with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake and collaborators Bradley Daymond and Alex Greggs. The track arrives ahead of the Nov. 6 release of the 25th anniversary edition of her 2001 album Britney.<\/p>\n
