"Born to Make You Happy" is' the fourth and final single from pop singer Britney Spears in the United Kingdom and Canada
I don't really think that was last song to be released by spears EVER in the uk and canada, HIGHLY doubt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sultn (talk • contribs) 07:33, 27 October 2005.
- I don't have any knowledge of this, but my guess is that the problem arose from ambiguity in the original wording; does my correction look more correct? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
No US or Australia Release
[edit]Does anyone know why this is the case? I actually went to Britney's youtube account (BritneyTV) and tried to watch the video. They said "This video is not available in your country." I find it curious why they would limit people from watching it on YOUTUBE. Anyone have an explanation for this? Arnabdas (talk) 14:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Born to Make You Happy
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Born to Make You Happy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Bubblegum pop
[edit]69.14.99.128 is constantly changing the genre, adding "bubblegum pop" up. There is no reliable source that specifies the song genre as bubblegum pop. - Sauloviegas (talk) 17:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Was this a single in the US?
[edit]The article's lead currently says that "Born to Make You Happy" was released as a single "in European countries". But the article's "Background" section simply says that "Born to Make You Happy" was "released as the fourth single from ...Baby One More Time on December 6, 1999." And nowhere in the article is it explicitly stated that this song was *only* released as a single in Europe, although the "Commercial performance" section doesn't seem to make any mention of American charts.
So was this song only released as a single in Europe? If so, then that should be stated more explicitly somewhere (with references). --Jpcase (talk) 15:00, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Well, a quick Google search resolved the issue pretty easily. "Born to Make You Happy" *was* only released as a single in Europe. "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" was released as the album's fourth single in the US. I've gone ahead and updated the article to reflect this. --Jpcase (talk) 15:20, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
