In the United States and Canada, the song was released as the second single from her third studio album Britney; internationally, it served as the third. "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" is a song that speaks about the angst and heartache of adolescence. Spears considered the song inspirational and one of her favorite songs to perform.
"I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" received positive reviews from music critics. The song was considered to be Spears' standout statement on Britney, and was likened to the powerful ballads written by Diane Warren. However, it won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song due to the film that it was paired up with.

An accompanying music video for the song was filmed at Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona and directed by Wayne Isham, being released along with Crossroads (2002), Spears' first movie as a protagonist.
