TRIVIA
A majority of the footage in this special was shot on 35mm film, and directed by Nigel Dick, who also directed all three music videos, though he is not credited for directing the filmed material. Some parts are videotaped, most notably most of the footage in “Recording My First Album”.
Spears briefly makes a funny face when she says the word “attitude” in “Recording My First Album”. The video marks the first time Spears made a funny face in any of her visual appearances
GOOFS
After Nigel Dick’s first line of dialogue in the “Making Music Videos” segment for “Sometimes”, the text “Nigel Dick – Video Director” reappears for a split second before cutting to the next scene.
CONNECTION
Edited from Making the Video: Britney Spears: (You Drive Me) Crazy (1999)
BOX OFFICE
“Time Out with Britney Spears” is a video album, not a theatrical release, so it doesn’t have a traditional box office performance. It debuted at number two on the Billboard Top Music Videos chart in the US and eventually reached number one, staying on the chart for 68 weeks. It was certified triple platinum by the RIAA for shipping 300,000 units.

ALTERNATIVE ARTWORK
An alternative cover was featured in early promotional campaigns and marketing materials, differing from the official release. This unique design was also used in various advertisements, including one published in the Drive Me Crazy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) booklet—available for both the CD and audio cassette versions.
Such variations in artwork often appear during promotional cycles and can become sought-after collectibles, especially among fans and enthusiasts who appreciate rare and unique design details.
QUOTES
“When I was little, I always… I didn’t say, you know, I’m gonna be a superstar, or this is what I was gonna do, but I was always doing shows, like… like… I… my friends would come over, and we’d make these big shows, and I was so serious about it! You know, and I was the director, and… like… we would do stuff like that all the time, and then, you know, when I grew out of that stage, then I just got really involved with just listening to music all the time.” – Britney Spears
“When I was, like, 8 years old, I, like, began singing, and, um, I went to, like, “The Mickey Mouse Club”. I did that, it was, like, with a bunch of kids; it was a lot of fun. And I, um, came to New York, and I did an off-Broadway musical called “Ruthless”. I met an entertainment lawyer, and he sent me to New York when I was 15 at the time. And I was so nervous, you know, and I, um, got up in front of a bunch of his executives at Jive, and I sang, and he signed me, so that’s how I’m here today.” – Britney Spears in the “Recording My First Album” segment
“I filmed a Disney special, and it was really cool because I got to a see a lot of the people, um, from “The Mickey Mouse Club” that I worked with. It was really, really, a lot of fun to do, so, here it is, the Disney special. *grins*” – Britney Spears introducing the first of the two Disney Channel performances
“…the staircase, and… basically, everything, so, it was really cool, though, because I had, like, my vision of it, and, um, my first day to come in, and the studios were… for rehearsal. I walked in, and… it was the most amazing feeling because my band was up there playing, and they had the lights going, and it was my first time to see my own stage, and I was just like… *gasp* Oh my goodness. I… I wanted to cry; it was so cool.” – Britney Spears in the last filmed segment
