"Oops!... I Did It Again" is a pop song recorded by American singer Britney Spears from her second studio album of the same name. It was released on April 11, 2000, by Jive Records as the lead single from the album, and her sixth single overall. It was written and produced by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. The lyrics refer to a woman who views love as a game, and she decides to use that to her advantage by playing with the emotions of a boy who likes her. Its bridge features spoken dialogue which references the hit 1997 film Titanic.
Upon its release, "Oops!... I Did It Again" received many positive reviews from music critics and some noted similarities to Spears' debut single "...Baby One More Time". The song was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001. Commercially, it peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. It topped the charts in at least 20 countries, including Australia, Denmark, and Spain.
The accompanying music video was directed by Nigel Dick; it depicts Spears dancing on Mars dressed in a red bodysuit. With her singing, she addresses an astronaut who has fallen in love with her. It went on to receive three nominations at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Spears has performed the song live on tour, for Oops!... I Did It Again, Dream Within a Dream, and The Onyx Hotel, as well as for her Las Vegas show, Britney: Piece of Me.
