On this day, Britney Spears changed pop music forever with the release of “…Baby One More Time.” 💗
Written by Max Martin, the track was originally offered to TLC (who turned it down!) before landing in the hands of a 16-year-old Spears, fresh out of The Mickey Mouse Club. The now-iconic music video, filmed at Venice High School in California, almost didn’t feature the schoolgirl outfit, Britney herself suggested it after rejecting a more futuristic concept. The gamble paid off: the single shot to
#1 in 19 countries, sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and turned Britney into an instant global superstar.
