If you're been begging "Gimme More" for "Crossroads," you're in luck: Britney Spears' first feature film as a leading lady is cruising back into to theaters in October.

The 2002 film written by Shonda Rhimes is getting the big screen treatment once more on Oct. 23 and 25 only, bookending the release of Spears' memoir "The Woman in Me" on Oct. 24. Start doing your vocal exercises now because the screenings, dubbed the "Crossroads Global Fan Event," will include a sing-along featuring two of Spears' "Crossroads" tunes.

In the film, Spears played the shy and sheltered Lucy, who is "Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" as the songstress' track included on the soundtrack is titled. She longs to connect with her absentee mother (Kim Cattrall) against the wishes of her dad (Dan Aykroyd). Lucy and her besties, Kit (Zoe Saldaña) and Mimi (Taryn Manning) on a road trip to California with the handsome Ben (Anson Mount).

The trailer is worth a rewatch to refresh your memory and also because Spears sings NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye." She and boy band member Justin Timberlake were pop's power couple when they dated from 1999 to 2002 (and even attended the film's LA premiere together).

'Crossroads' movie soundtrack special edition will remix Britney Spears songs

As if that isn't enough to make Spears fans feel "Lucky," RCA Records is releasing a "Crossroads: Special Edition" soundtrack on Oct. 20. The compilation will feature three new remixes of Spears tracks: "Overprotected" (Richi Lopez Remix), "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" (Snakehips Remix) and "I Love Rock 'N Roll" (Frank Walker Remix).

Last year, Spears confirmed on Instagram she was writing a memoir, describing the process as "healing and therapeutic… it's also hard bringing up past events in my life," she wrote. "I've never been able to express openly!!! I can only imagine that I do sound childish but I was extremely young with those events took place."

In August, Spears' husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce after one year of marriage.
