That’s why she’s always been a soul singer instead of just being a «regular» pop act out there. She’s a queen! ✨🤍

[SplendoreOceanico]

Christina has such a beautiful soul. So far from the portrait that many tried to paint of her. She's still connected to the girl that she was, the one that was dreaming of being a great singer, the one that wrote meaningful songs in Stripped and Back To Basics. Many forget who they are and get lost in their careers. But she's still there, I respect and admire that.

“I’m feeling like a little girl….”
Such a precious moment 🩷 this song truly shows Xtina soulfulness since the beginning of her career

[SplendoreOceanico]

So many popstars of her generation were considered to be the good girls and the greatest, but they turned out to be the exact opposite (and we can tell from recent news stories). And then there she is, Christina, getting emotional about this song because she remembers who she is. What an amazing woman.

[gabrielcarvalho]

You are my favorite singer. You will always be! 🩵🩵🩵🩵

[jakem]

She’s so emotional (no pun intended) these days, and I mean that in a good way, it’s like she’s not afraid to show vulnerability anymore

[tabularasaconfirmed]

Wow. Thank you for showing this incredibly vulnerable moment with us. And thank you to Heather for her beautiful music 🩷

[thelaralavery]

Everything coming back to her when she paused. I cried 😭 I’m so lucky to have grown up with you 🫶🏼

[alexandrelangevin]

This song is so special to me. The fact she did it for real after all these years make me so emotional. I was 7, too young at the time to understand all her songs, but years after years i understood who she really was and wich kind of artist she was. I'm so proud to be a fighter, for being there along the way, "by her side". It's such a beautitul, long and emotional journey and I can't be more happy to be part or this! Christina, I love you so much ❤

[Sejuani]

We are all lucky to have witnessed in our lifetime the mega talent that is Christina Aguilera. There could never be anyone in the future who can match her voice and artistry and Im super glad I grew up witnessing such gift! She is one in a billion!

[queenie]

I love seeing this side of her. Showing her own songs effecting
her in this emotional way. Showing she really feels what she sings and she’s always been my favorite singer . and forever will be

[UzFermini]

That's something very remarkable from Christina, she has been very real about her feelings and that ain't it easy. But she's got so much emotional intelligence to go through the challenges of life.

[mikedeldf]

So much nostalgia and love in this video. Remember the very beginning of the superstar she is now. ❤

[valentinagori]

Xtina, you and Heather made one of my favorite songs of yours. Your emotion, your vulnerability. That’s what i love of you. You are such a strong and vulnerable woman and singer. No one like you.. you are such a treasure 🩵💙 love so much this tender song.

[jeniestra.]

Gorgeous video. Thank you Heather for always being there for our girl.

[xtinamultimedia]

Now I'm tearing up too... This song is just so special. Watching you and Heather together really hits me in the feels. Thanks so much for sharing this vulnerable moment with us. It's beautiful how you're still so connected to that little girl inside. You’re truly authentic, Christina.

[ALEJANDROVILLALOBOS]

Celebrating 25 years of career and still going strong, Xtina, I admire you and love you a lot, you are the last one standing of your generation❤ and Heather, thank you for protecting our girl when she was just a little girl trying to make it in that savage world.

[kikikombucha]

This was my favorite song on this album. I was a young teen and we moved out of my country and I was going through it. This album and song got me through the storm. I even did a demo with this song when I was pursuing music. ILY XTINA ❤

[paulrivas_]

[anthonyhudson]
