Music video

Spears in the video for "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart."

Directed by Gregory Dark, the music video for From the Bottom of My Broken Heart begins with Spears packing her belongings as she readies herself to move away from home. She is upset because she knows that she is going to miss her first love. Throughout the video, we see scenes of the two from their past, including one where they climb up onto a windmill. Towards the ending, we see Spears waiting at a bus stop while at the same time her first love is driving quickly to come see her one last time. However, by the time he finally gets there, she has already left on her bus. The video premiered on an episode of Muchmusic's Combat Zone. The video also became her fourth to retire on MTV's TRL. This is the first video where no dance is involved.

Chart performance

"From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" was successful, as it peaked within the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to its chart-topping placement on the Hot 100 Singles Sales; this would later lead to a Platinum certification. However, for the first time for a Spears single, airplay proved weak, and the track failed to crack even the top fifty of the Hot 100 Airplay. The single was later ranked at number seventy-seven on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart for 2000.

As "Born to Make You Happy" had just been released in most international markets, "My Broken Heart" was released in only a couple of other regions, one of which was Australia, where her local record company were given the choice between "Born To Make You Happy" and "My Broken Heart". They plumped for the latter, probably unwisely, as it just barely made it into the top forty there, while "Born To Make You Happy" was a commercial hit in the UK.
