Britney Spears' breakout hit

The song, which was written and produced by long time hit-maker Max Martin, recalls Spears regretting her previous decision to end a relationship and how much she wishes to reconcile because of what he means to her, emphasizing how much she wants him to "hit me baby one more time".

As a result of its international success, the single is generally perceived as Spears' signature song. Its accompanying music video is also perhaps her most well-known, and is famous in the way that it has come to symbolize the late '90s teen-pop revival. The schoolgirl outfit that Spears performs in for parts of the video has also become one of her unofficial trademarks, an easily-recognizable public way of representing her, and something that has been used in spoofs multiple times to easily show that someone is impersonating her. ...Baby One More Time is ranked at No.25 on Rolling Stone & MTV's 100 Greatest Pop Songs of all time ^[2] and it's the 38 best song all time in United World Chart ^[3] and #5 in the chart from 1999 to the present (only behind Cher's Believe, Shakira's Hips Don't Lie, James Blunt's You're Beautiful and Madonna's Hung Up).^[4] A signature song is the one song (or, in some cases, one of a few songs) that a popular and well-established singer, or band, is most closely identified with, even if they have had success with a variety of songs. ...

Music video

Directed by Nigel Dick, the ...Baby One More Time music video is what arguably fueled the single to become a success. Its original setup, however, was in high contrast to what eventually became the final product. The plan was to have the video in a cartoon-like environment, in a likely attempt to attract the audience of younger children. However, Spears was unhappy with this, and argued that the set should be a bit more mature. So, the childish nature of the primary plan was scrapped, and instead was replaced with Spears' idea for the video to be shot in a school. Spears also came up with the concept of tying up the uniform shirts to bare her midriff. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Shot at Venice High School in California, the music video for ...Baby One More Time begins with Spears in a particularly boring class right before the end of the day.

After this, Spears is outside, now adorned in an athletic outfit. Along with a couple of other students, she performs a number of gymnastic moves before heading back inside. She is then sitting on the bleachers in the gymnasium watching a basketball game. Her love interest in the video is revealed. After this short segment, Spears begins her final dance routine and the video ends shortly afterwards, revealing that the whole thing had actually just been Spears' daydream.
