"Oops!... I Did It Again", written by the Swedish music producer Max Martin, is the first single from American pop singer Britney Spears's 2000 album of the same name during the second quarter of 2000.
The song was written and produced by constant Spears suppliers Max Martin and Rami. The upbeat dance track describes toying with a new lover and thinking of love as a game.
"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 most famous singles of the teen pop revival at the turn of the Millennium. The music video for this song also ranks among her most famous, and began to more openly express a sexually-provocative Spears.
This track has been covered by Max Raabe, Richard Thompson, Bowling For Soup, Children of Bodom and The Last Dance. It was parodied as "Oops! I Farted Again" by Bob Rivers, although it is sometimes misattributed to "Weird Al" Yankovic. 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]

[edit] Music video
Shot at Universal Studios in California and directed by veteran Spears collaborator Nigel Dick, the music video for "Oops!...I Did It Again" begins with a room of scientists conducting research for life on Mars. The Astronaut picks up an image of Spears [Which happens to be the UK Album Cover] and by contacting their astronaut on the planet, they find there indeed is, via Spears. Riding down on a platform, Spears makes her way into a dance scene with the other 'martians', wearing a tight-fitting red catsuit. This continues for a while, and includes cuts to Spears lying on a type of a stage, wearing a white, 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. Spears walks away before he can say anymore, taking the necklace. The video became her fifth to retire on MTV's TRL.
Throughout the video, the camera zooms in and out on Spears' face in various spots. Accidentally during the filming of the video, the camera came in too close and cut Spears on the top of her head, she quickly got stitches and managed to go through the end of the filming.
The Greatest Hits: My Prerogative DVD, released in 2004, contained an alternate version of the video where viewers sees a medium shots of Spears dancing in her red catsuit from beginning to end. Cuts from these are featured in the original video clip.
[edit] 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 2000 MTV 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.

[edit] Chart performance
"Oops!" reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became a success at Top 40 radio, going to the top 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.

The singles topped the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles for six consecutive weeks, the chart is published by Billboard's sister magazine Music & Media. 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.
"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 over 423,000 copies and earned a gold BPI award.[4]
The single sold 5,995,000 copies worldwide in the year 2000 alone making it the third biggest selling single of that year.[5]
