Remixes

After being hired by Jive Records to create a remix for "Oveprotected", Rodney Jerkins revealed that the label "needed a remix that's crazy." Jerkins said the remix has "an old-school-type rhythm, which I think is kinda cool because it's an element never had, but I still gave it her edge. I was up all night rocking that joint. same lyrics, I just reproduced the track." "The Darkchild Remix" was initially being sent to radio stations on mid-March 2002; however, the remix was only released on April 1, 2002. The remix was heavily played in dance clubs, and Jerkins said he wasn't surprise with the popularity of it, since " reinvented herself. Everybody thought she was gonna come back with another 'Oops!... I Did It Again', but she went left and came with the 'I'm a Slave 4 U' joint, which is basically a club banger. You gotta big up people who reinvent themselves. I always said she was gonna be one of the people that's gonna be around for a minute, because I see that in her." Finnish musician and record producer Jaakko Salovaara also created two remixes for the track, titled "JS16 Dub" and "JS16 Remix". The latter was included on the promotional soundtrack of Spears' debut movie, Crossroads (2002).
