#Britney oops i did it again britney serial

But it did top Billboard’s Pop Songs listing. And the song also went platinum or better in a handful of countries, including the UK. It did not, however, accomplish this feat on the Billboard Hot 100 as did …Baby. This track reached number 1 in approximately 20 nations. It managed to do so on the UK Singles Chart, the UK Indie Chart, European Hot 100 Singles and Canada Top Singles, amongst others. Accomplishments of “Oops!… I Did It Again” In other words …Baby was a major success that they wanted to emulate. And whereas Oops… did not quite hit on the same level, it still made ridiculous achievements nonetheless.

This is the lead single and title track from Britney Spears second album. It served the same purpose that another song featuring ellipses, “ …Baby One More Time” (1998) did for Britney’s first album.Īnd it’s apparent she was trying to reclaim the same magic (i.e. utilize the identical formula) in this one. For instance, Oops… was written and produced by Max Martin and Rami, which are also fundamentally the same roles they took on in …Baby.Īnd it was also recorded in the same location, Stockholm’s Cheiron Studios, which was the stomping grounds of Max Martin. Said music video was filmed in Universal City, a large part of Los Angeles owned by Universal Pictures. During its filming, which took place in mid-March 2000, Britney suffered a minor accident where a camera hit her in the head.įashion-wise, the clip was stylized by Estee Stanley. And it features Britney rockin’ what would become one of her trademark looks, a bright-red jumpsuit/bodysuit. That was an idea Brit came up with herself, as well as the visual being fictitiously set on the planet of Mars. three MTV VMA nominations.Īlso like …Baby, it didn’t actually win any. But just to note, in 2000 Oops… was nominated in the categories of Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Viewer’s Choice. Nigel Dick, who directed the trendsetting music video to Britney’s hit single “ …Baby One More Time“, was also put in charge of the creation of the video for this track.Īnd like the one to …Baby, the Oops… music video earned Britney Spears and co. So one of the purposes of this song was to set the record straight, that Spears did in fact know what time it was. And the fact that she is not some innocuous, run-of-the-mill teen is something which her current boyfriend is learning the hard way. This statement speaks not only to the storyline of the song but also Britney’s career at the time, as the masses had difficulty deciding whether she was an innocent teen or a sexualized adult. In other words, she was sort of portraying both of those roles simultaneously.

Indeed the thesis sentiment of this song may not be so much that she is careless in the way she treats romantic interest. Rather as noted in the chorus, it may be that she is “not that innocent”. So the more-common understanding is more like the vocalist has already done this to a number of different guys, with the current addressee being her most-recent victim.Īnd again, the singer isn’t proud of this addictive tendency she possesses to break dudes’ heart. But at the same time, she definitely doesn’t come off as being overtaken by self-guilt either. But such an understanding wouldn’t really make sense. Or let’s say it’s not likely that he would keep being fooled by the same woman who habitually dumps him.

Narrator is a Serial HeartbreakerĪnd on the surface, it sounds as if she is regretting doing so to this same dude over and over. So the lyrics of the song serve two purposes. First is to let this guy that honestly, she isn’t that serious. And secondly it features Brit sort of beating up on herself for once “again” making the mistake of playing with someone’s heart. Or simply put, she led the addressee feel the two of them were an item when in fact, at least in her mind, they aren’t. Or more accurately the vocalist let her playful, we can say even somewhat-insensitive romantic side get the best of her.
