"Anticipating" was the fourth French single to be released from Britney while I Love Rock 'N Roll was released as the fourth European single. The track was released during the second quarter of 2002.

The song was written and produced by Brian Kierulf, Josh Schwartz, as well as co-written by Britney herself. The track was featured in a commercial for Toyota's car, the Vios. Britney explained the song as, it was okay to go out with your friends and have fun, but something always reminds you of your last boyfriend. Because of that, you're not having fun anymore. "I'll be anticipating, this is our song they're playing. I wanna ride with you, you're feeling this right, let's do this tonight."

[edit] Music video

Having no time to shoot a proper music video for Anticipating, the performance from the Live from Las Vegas concert was used in place of a video. In it, Britney and her female performers dance around the stage in colorful outfits. Then, Britney hops into a pink car and encourages the audience to sing along. The video was originally intended to be an animated video, featuring a cartoon Britney cruising around Paris (because of its release in France) in a convertible.
