"Oops!... I Did It Again" is the first single from Pop singer Britney Spears's 2000 album Oops!... I Did It Again.

The song was written and produced by constant Spears suppliers Max Martin and Rami. This upbeat Dance track shows a more dangerous side to Britney as she describes her toying with a new lover and thinks of love as a game as she proclaims "oops! I did it again."

"Oops!" is generally perceived as one of Spears' signature songs by the media and public, partially due to it becoming one of her most successful singles, but also because it, similarly to "...Baby One More Time," has become one of the more famous singles of the teen pop revival at the turn of the Millennium. The phrase "Oops! She Did It Again" is often used by the media, whenever Britney makes a public mistake or does something shocking. The music video for this song also ranks among her most famous, and began to more openly express a sexually-provocative Britney.

This track has been covered by Richard Thompson and Children of Bodom. The track was also the subject of a parody cover which claimed that it was "the original" 1932 recording by Louis Armstrong. Although convincing, the track is in fact a hoax.[1][2][3]

Music video

Shot at Universal Studios in California and directed by veteran Spears collaborator Nigel Dick, the video begins with a room of scientists conducting research for life on Mars. By contacting their astronaut on the planet, they find there indeed is, via Miss Spears. Riding down on a platform, Britney makes her way into a dance scene with the other 'martians', wearing a tight-fitting red catsuit. This synopsis continues for a while, and includes cuts to Spears lying on a type of a stage, wearing a white and skimpy outfit. Towards the end of the video, the astronaut gives something (insinuated to be the famous necklace from the blockbuster film Titanic that was dropped into the ocean during the movie) to Spears in order to proclaim his love for her. Britney walks away before he can say anymore, taking the necklace. The video became her fifth to retire on MTV's TRL.

Awards

"Oops!... I Did It Again" earned several award nominations, though it failed to actually win any. By this time, Spears had become an MTV favorite, and her three nominations at the annual Video Music Awards reinforced this. However, for a second year in a row, Britney was shut out completely. Still, she gave a very memorable performance the night of the ceremony with a medley of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Oops!" in which she tore off a black suit to reveal a light, flesh-colored one.

For a second year in a row, Spears was also nominated at the Grammys in the category of Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the single; again, however, she lost.

2000 MTV Video Music Awards Viewer's Choice Nominated
2001 Grammy Awards Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Nominated

Chart performance

The single ended up becoming a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, thanks to its number eight peak on the Hot 100 Airplay. In a somewhat daring move from her label Jive, "Oops!" was released only as a 12" single rather than a full CD single (like most major releases from high-profile artists were at the time). Critics believe that if the song had the commercial sales of a CD single to help it on the charts, it likely would've become a number one hit. Still, the track spent twenty weeks on the Hot 100, with a vast majority (fifteen) of them within the top forty; this later led the song to be ranked at number fifty-five on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart for 2000.

"Oops!" also became a success at Top 40 radio, going top ten on the Top 40 Tracks and Rhythmic Top 40, as well as to number one on the Mainstream Top 40. The song also holds the record for the most radio additions in a single day.

Internationally, the song was a top five hit across the board in all European nations, as well as Canada. It also hit No. 1 in Australia, but the single's release came during a change of distribution for the Zomba label there and the single was deleted after only a few weeks and its chart life was cut dramatically short. The follow-up single "Lucky" thus ended up eclipsing it in sales, despite only peaking at No. 3.

"Oops!... I Did It Again" became Britney's third UK number-one and for a short while she became the youngest artist to claim three number-ones. The single sold a total of 423,000 copies and became the 14th biggest seller of the year.
