"...Baby One More Time" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
The song is composed in the key of C minor and is set in the time signature of 4/4 common time with a moderate tempo of 93 beats per minute (Andante moderato).
The song has been included in lists by Blender, Rolling Stone and VH1.
"...Baby One More Time" reached number one in several countries, including the United Kingdom, where it earned double-platinum status and became the country's best-selling song of 1999.
Director Nigel Dick's original idea for this music video was to have Britney Spears walking on a giant vinyl record that was spinning on a turntable. Spears hated the idea, and suggested instead to have the video take place in a school to reflect the lives of her potential fans. Spears also wanted to incorporate dance scenes into the video. She later chose the schoolgirl outfit during a wardrobe fitting.
