Content



"Complicated" is a mid-tempo country pop ballad where the female narrator expresses her fear of admitting her strong feelings to the object of her affection - a good friend, calling her feelings "complicated."

Music video



The music video was directed by Lisa Mann and premiered in mid-2001. It shows Johnson performing the song in several different areas of a large, round room with many ledges, trying to find her lover, but being unsuccessful every time. She tries to write a song, but throws the piece of paper, which in turn causes many other pieces of paper to fall on top of her. Many scenes show many different images of Johnson trying to catch up to each other, and one scent shows one image handing a phone to another. Eventually she does locater her boyfriend, and the video ends with them having fun together on the stairs and in an elevator. Scenes of Johnson performing the song against a white background with many flickering white lights, and laying down on a sofa are also shown.

Chart performance



"Complicated" debuted at number 55 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of April 21, 2001.
