When I started working with Max Martin in Sweden, he played the demo for ' Baby One More Time ' for me, and I knew from the start it ( was one ) of those songs you want to hear again and again. It just felt really right. I went into the studio and did my own thing with it, trying to give it a little more attitude than the demo. In 10 days, I never even saw Sweden. We were so busy. -- Spears talking to Chuck Taylor of Billboard. In June 1997, Spears was in talks with manager Lou Pearlman to join female pop group Innosense. Lynne Spears asked family friend and entertainment lawyer Larry Rudolph for his opinion and submitted a tape of Spears singing over a Whitney Houston karaoke song along with some pictures. Rudolph decided he wanted to pitch her to record labels, therefore she needed a professional demo. He sent Spears an unused song from Toni Braxton ; she rehearsed for a week and recorded her vocals in a studio with a sound engineer. Spears traveled to New York with the demo and met with executives from four labels, returning to Kentwood the same day. Three of the labels rejected her, arguing audiences wanted pop bands such as the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls, and `` there was n't going to be another Madonna, another Debbie Gibson, or another Tiffany. '' Two weeks later, executives from JIVE Records returned calls to Rudolph. Senior vice president of A&R Jeff Fenster stated about Spears 's audition that `` It 's very rare to hear someone that age who can deliver emotional content and commercial appeal. (... ) For any artist, the motivation -- the ' eye of the tiger ' -- is extremely important. And Britney had that. '' They appointed her to work with producer Eric Foster White for a month, who reportedly shaped her voice from `` lower and less poppy '' delivery to `` distinctively, unmistakably Britney. '' After hearing the recorded material, president Clive Calder ordered a full album. Spears had originally envisioned `` Sheryl Crow music, but younger more adult contemporary '' but felt all right with her label 's appointment of producers, since `` It made more sense to go pop, because I can dance to it -- it 's more me. '' She flew to Cheiron Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, where half of the album was recorded from March to April 1998, with producers Max Martin, Denniz Pop and Rami Yacoub, among others. Martin showed Spears and her management a track titled `` Hit Me Baby One More Time '', which was originally written for American group Backstreet Boys and R&B group TLC ; however, when the song was submitted to them, they rejected it. Spears later claimed that she felt excited when she heard it and knew it was going to be a hit record. `` We at JIVE said, ' This is a... smash ', '' revealed the label 's A&R executive at the time Steven Lunt ; however, other executives were concerned that the line `` Hit Me '' would condone domestic violence, later being revised to ``... Baby One More Time ''. Spears recorded her vocals for the song in March 1998 at Cheiron Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Spears revealed that she `` did n't do well at all the first day in the studio ( recording the song ), I was just too nervous. So I went out that night and had some fun. The next day I was completely relaxed and nailed it. You got ta be relaxed singing '... Baby One More Time '. '' The song was produced by Denniz Pop, Martin and Rami, and was also mixed by Martin at Cheiron Studios. Thomas Lindberg played the guitar, while Johan Carlberg played the bass guitar. Background vocals were provided by Spears, Martin and Nana Hedin. Spears also recorded a track called `` Autumn Goodbye '', written and produced by Eric Foster White, that was released as a b - side to ``... Baby One More Time ''. The track was recorded in 1998 at 4MW East Studios in New Jersey. ``... Baby One More Time '' was released as Spears 's debut single on October 23, 1998, by Jive Records, when she was only sixteen years old. Spears has named ``... Baby One More Time '' as one of her favorite songs from her entire career, naming `` Toxic '' and `` He About to Lose Me '' as the other two. Like TLC and Backstreet Boys, British boy band Five were almost considered to record the song, according to their former manager Simon Cowell, who would work with Spears in the second season of the American version of The X Factor in 2012, in his autobiography Sweet Revenge. Music and lyrics ``... Baby One More Time '' A 20 - second sample of the song 's chorus, features Spears singing `` Hit me, baby, one more time ! '' Problems playing this file ? See media help. ``... Baby One More Time '' is a pop song that lasts for three minutes and thirty seconds. The song is composed in the key of C minor and is set in the time signature of 4 / 4 common time with a moderate tempo of ninety - three beats per minute ( Andante moderato ). Songwriting and production is largely based on previous Cheiron productions, most notably Robyn Carlsson 's `` Show Me Love '' which shows similar song scheme, drum patterns, wah guitars and piano hits. Spears 's vocal range spans over two octaves from E ♭ to the high - tone of G. The song begins with a three - note motif in the bass range of the piano, an opening that has been compared to many other songs, such as `` We Will Rock You '' ( 1977 ), `` Start Me Up '' ( 1981 ), `` These Words '' ( 2004 ) and the theme song of the film Jaws due to the fact the track `` makes its presence known in exactly one second ''. According to magazine Blender, ``... Baby One More Time '' is composed by `` wah - wah guitar lines and EKG - machine bass - slaps ''. Claudia Mitchell and Jacqueline Reid - Walsh, authors of Girl Culture : Studying girl culture : a readers ' guide ( 2008 ), noted the lyrics of the song `` gesture toward ( Spears ) longing for the return of an ex-boyfriend. '' Spears said ``... Baby One More Time '' is a song `` every girl can relate to. She regrets it. She wants him back. '' The lyrics, however, caused controversy in the United States, because the line `` Hit me baby one more time '' supposedly has sadomasochistic connotations. As a response, the singer said the line `` does n't mean physically hit me. (... ) It means just give me a sign, basically. I think it 's kind of funny that people would actually think that 's what it meant. '' Critical reception Spears and some of her dancers performing ``... Baby One More Time '' during The Circus Starring Britney Spears in 2009 Marc Oxoby, author of The 1990s ( 2003 ), noted the song `` was derided as vapid by some critics, yet tapped into the same kind of audience to whom the Spice Girls music appealed, young teens and pre-teens. '' Amanda Murray of Sputnikmusic commented, `` ( ''... Baby One More Time '' is ) well - composed, tightly arranged, and even with Spears 's vocal limitations it goes straight for the proverbial pop jugular. '' She also said that the song was a highlight in the pop music genre and added, `` There is little doubt that '... Baby One More Time ' will be long remembered as one of the cornerstones of pop music in general, and it is a strong front - runner as the prototype for the late 90s pop resurgence. '' Bill Lamb of About.com considered ``... Baby One More Time '' as Spears 's best song, saying, `` the song is full of hooks and a big mainstream pop sound. The accompanying schoolgirl video caused a sensation, and, when the single hit No. 1, Britney was assured of stardom. '' In a list compiled by Sara Anderson of AOL Radio, ``... Baby One More Time '' was ranked sixth in a list of Spears 's best songs. She noted the singer `` somehow made the school girl outfit and pink pom - pom hair - ties trendy again, worn by every tween in the succeeding years. '' Beth Johnson of Entertainment Weekly called ``... Baby One More Time '' a `` candy - pop - with - a-funky - edge smash '', while Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said the song was `` ingenious '', Brian Raftery of Blender called it `` a perfectly fine, slickly conceived pop tune. (... ) At the time, teen - pop was still a boys ' club, but while the guys were crooning about crushes, Spears was already planning the sleep - over party ''. Rolling Stone called it `` some of the best radio pop of the past decade - plus ''. NME considered ``... Baby One More Time '' `` incredible '', commenting that `` it 's a symphony of teenage lust as fully realised as anything Brian Wilson ever wrote -- a truly grand pop song that overwhelms any lingering undercurrent of Lolita paedo - creepiness through the sheer fanatical earnestness of its delivery. '' ``... Baby One More Time '' won a Teen Choice Award for Single of the Year and an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song. Chart performance The encore performance of ``...

After being chosen, Dick received criticism from his colleagues about wanting to work with Spears. He responded saying, `` It 's a great song. I do n't know anything about Britney. I never watched The Mickey Mouse Club. She seems like a great kid and she 's very enthusiastic, but I just love the song. It 's just a great song ''. The video 's original setup 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. Spears was unhappy with this, and argued that she wanted her video to reflect the lives of her fans and wanted to set the video in a school. Spears pitched this idea to Dick, and further explained she wanted the video to have dance scenes. The original setting was scrapped and replaced with Spears 's concept. Dick 's original idea for the wardrobe was jeans and a T - shirt, but during the wardrobe fitting Spears decided to change it for a schoolgirl outfit. Dick said that `` Every piece of wardrobe in the video came from Kmart, and I was told at the time not one piece of clothing in the video cost more than $17. On that level, it 's real. That probably, in retrospect, is a part of its charm. '' The knotted shirt design was Spears 's idea, she recollects saying, `` The outfits looked kind of dorky, so I was like, ' Let 's tie up our shirts and be cute ' ''. About the experience of shooting her first music video, Spears said, `` It was a wonderful experience. All these people there, working for you. I had my own trailer. It was an amazing experience ''. The music video was shot at Venice High School, the same school used to film the movie Grease. The video premiered on MTV and other video stations in November 1998. Synopsis Spears wearing the schoolgirl outfit in the song 's music video The video begins with Spears appearing bored in class at a Catholic high school. Her assistant Felicia Culotta played the role of Spears 's teacher. When the bell rings, Spears runs out into the hall and begins a choreographed dance in the corridor. After this, Spears is outside, now adorned in an pink athletic outfit, and seen in a car. 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, and she dances in the gymnasium. Her love interest is revealed sitting close to her, played by her real - life cousin Chad. After this short segment, Spears begins her final dance routine and the video ends shortly afterwards, and the bell rings and Spears leaves the gymnasium, revealing that the whole thing had actually just been Spears 's daydream. During the very beginning, Spears is seen with her sleeves down. Some people who see the music video may not recognize this, but when the bell rings, the sleeves of exactly the same gray - and - white shirt she is wearing are rolled up, even when she gets into singing. Reception The schoolgirl outfit is considered to be one of Spears 's iconic looks and is on display at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The ensemble caused controversy among parents associations for showing the midriff of a sixteen - year - old. Spears faced the criticism saying, `` Me showing my belly ? I 'm from the South ; you 're stupid if you do n't wear a sports bra ( when you ) go to dance class, you 're going to be sweating your butt off. '' In 1999, ``... Baby One More Time '' earned Spears her first three MTV Video Music Award nominations, in the categories of Best Pop Video, Best Choreography, and Best Female Video. In a list compiled by VH1 in 2001, it was listed at number ninety in the best videos of all time. The video was the first of fourteen of her videos to retire on MTV 's television series TRL. On its final episode, a three - hour special aired on November 16, 2008, ``... Baby One More Time '' was number one in their final countdown as the most iconic music videos of all time and was the last video to be played on the show. Wesley Yang in his essay `` Inside the Box '' in n + 1, compared the music video to Britny Fox 's `` Girlschool '' because it featured `` a classroom full of Catholic schoolgirls gyrating to the beat in defiance of a stern teacher. (... ) But that was a sexist video by a horrible hair metal band that exploited women. Britney Spears was something else -- an inflection point in the culture ''. The music video is also referenced in the music video of Spears 's 2000 single, `` Stronger '' where Spears sings, `` My loneliness ai n't killing me no more '' - a reference to ``... Baby One More Time '' where she sings, `` My loneliness is killing me. '' The music video is also referenced in the 2009 single, `` If U Seek Amy ''. After she comes out of the house dressed as a housewife, her daughter is dressed with a similar schoolgirl outfit while wearing pink ribbons in her hair. The video was ranked at number four on a list of the ten most controversial music videos in pop by AOL on September 29, 2011. In April 2014, the music video for ``... Baby One More Time '' reached over 100 million views on VEVO becoming Spears ' 5th music video to do so and making it the first ' 90s video by a female singer to receive a certification.

Baby One More Time. '' Spears was also criticized of lipsynching the song during her performance.

The song was also the encore of 2001 's Dream Within a Dream Tour. It began with a giant projection of a hologram of Spears onto a water screen. The projection gradually shrunk until Spears rose from the stage while wearing a plastic cowboy hat, blue hip - huggers, and a matching bra top. She began performing ``... Baby One More Time '' in a ballad version until reaching the end of the runway. Pyrotechnics surrounded the stage while the song changed to a more uptempo version with elements of techno.

In the 2012 poll created by The Official Chart Company and ITV to discover The Nation 's Favourite Number 1 Single of all - time, ``... Baby One More Time '' was listed as the seventh favorite song by the United Kingdom. In 2018, readers of the iconic German teen magazine Bravo ( magazine ) voted ``... Baby One More Time '' to be the biggest hit since its first music compilation was released in 1992. Spears became an international pop culture icon immediately after launching her recording career. Rolling Stone magazine wrote : `` One of the most controversial and successful female vocalists of the 21st century, '' she `` spearheaded the rise of post-millennial teen pop... Spears early on cultivated a mixture of innocence and experience that broke the bank ''. Barbara Ellen of The Observer has reported : `` Spears is famously one of the ' oldest ' teenagers pop has ever produced, almost middle aged in terms of focus and determination. Many 19 - year - olds have n't even started working by that age, whereas Britney, a former Mouseketeer, was that most unusual and volatile of American phenomena -- a child with a full - time career. While other little girls were putting posters on their walls, Britney was wanting to be the poster on the wall. Whereas other children develop at their own pace, Britney was developing at a pace set by the ferociously competitive American entertainment industry ''. Scott Plagenhoef of Pitchfork noted `` songs like Nirvana 's `` Smells Like Teen Spirit '', Dr. Dre 's `` Nothing But a G Thang '', and Britney Spears 's ``... Baby One More Time '' altered the landscape of pop culture so quickly in large part because they were delivered to all corners of the U.S. simultaneously by MTV. (... ) MTV 's ability to place a song and musician into the pop music conversation was unparalleled at the time, and by the end of the decade that meant absurd levels of both financial and creative commitment to music videos. '' PopMatters writer Evan Sawdey commented that Spears 's concept for the music video of the song was the one responsible for her immediate success, saying that, as a result, the singer `` scored a massive No. 1 single, inadvertently started the late ' 90s teen pop boom, and created a public persona for herself that was simultaneously kid - friendly and pure male fantasy. Her videos got played on both MTV and the Disney Channel at the same time, showing just how well Spears ( and her armies of PR handlers ) managed to walk that fine line between family - friendly pop idol and unabashed sex object.
