Someday (I Will Understand)

"Someday (I Will Understand)" is a single from Pop singer Britney Spears originally released from the EP/Bonus disc of the "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic... The DVD & More" during the third quarter of 2005, though the song was later included in its "Hi-Bias Signature Radio Remix" form on the "B in the Mix: The Remixes" compilation and on the Asian, European and Japanese pressings of the EP "Chaotic".

"Someday" was written by Britney herself two weeks before she learned of her pregnancy with her first child, Sean Preston Federline. That was so far the only time that she plays an instrument in recording a song; she plays the piano on this record. The track was produced by Guy Sigsworth, who also produced "Everytime", another Spears song similar in instrumentation.

Music video

The music video for "Someday" premiered on the finale of Britney's reality show Britney and Kevin: Chaotic. In the video, a pregnant Britney is found about her home on her bed and looking out onto her yard, which includes a statue of an angel and leaves falling from the trees. This was the first of Spears' videos to be shot entirely in black-and-white. Britney said that the best word to describe the video was "simplicity", and that both the song and video perfectly captured the point she had then reached in her life. The video was directed by Michael Haussman and produced by Nina Wong for Person Films.

No release date was set for "Someday" in major international markets such as the United Kingdom and Australia, though the single did receive airplay in continental Europe. It reached the top ten in Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland and became a moderate hit in the rest of the European countries where it was released.
