"Piece of Me" is a commentary on the effects of fame and media attention on an individual. The lyrics express the frustrations of constantly being in the public eye and the scrutiny that comes with it. From being labeled as "Mrs. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" to having her body constantly judged, Spears seems fed up with the media and those who judge her. She questions why people want "a piece of her" and highlights the double standards that exist in the entertainment industry when it comes to women's bodies. The song can also be interpreted as a defense of her actions and choices as a mother, musician, and public figure in the face of criticism. Ultimately, the song is a plea to allow Spears to be who she wants to be and live her life on her own terms without constant judgment and harassment from the media and the public.
