Jamie Lynn Spears Talks Country Career & Competition With Big Sister Britney

While Britney Spears enters the next chapter of her career with a Vegas residency (no big deal), her little sister Jamie Lynn Spears launched her career on a very good note with her debut country single “How Could I Want More” — and there’s more tunes coming soon, as the younger Spears promises in an interview with Billboard that “a full album is in the works.” Excellent!

As for competition between the “Chillin’ With You” collaborators, Jamie Lynn insists there’s none: “Me and Brit, I’m sure no one believes me when I say, there is no rivalry! You have to remember that we are 10 years apart, so I always saw her as a second mom. We have fun like only sisters can, but we don’t have that young sibling rivalry. She was one of the first people to call and tell me how proud she was of the success of [“More”], so charts won’t come between me and her — never will!” Well, so much for that.

As for the song itself, she says the meaning is, well, kinda self-explanatory: “It’s about having everything, and still struggling with wanting more. My experience was with a relationship at the time, but I think it’s very relatable in many other situations, as well. We have all had those times in life. I sang this song when I was in a vulnerable place, and I believe that translates onto the record. The honesty behind my voice in that moment is what I think everyone can connect to.”

On that note, let’s revisit the video for this impossibly lovely song:
