Britney Spears arrived with "...Baby One More Time" in 1998, her debut single on Jive and the title track of her 1999 debut album, and it's credited with redefining how the late '90s sounded. Max Martin wrote it and produced it with Rami Yacoub: sleek teen pop and dance-pop about wanting an ex back. It went to number one in more than 20 countries, outsold every other single in the UK in 1999, and has sold more than 10 million copies.
Nigel Dick's video, with Spears as a student singing and dancing through a high school while eyeing a crush, was voted the best video of the '90s by Billboard in 2011. Rolling Stone later called the song the greatest debut single of all time, and it resurfaced on the 2010 compilation NOW That's What I Call the 1990s.
