In 1998, not many people knew who Britney Spears was. The then-teen had been playing various shows and even opened for NSYNC but she was about to explode onto the music scene with the release of her debut single, "...Baby One More Time," in October of that year.
The song ended up being extremely popular, earning Spears a number of different accolades, including a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Spears’ debut single transformed pop music, opening the door for other female artists and ushering in a new era of pop.
In May 2020, Rolling Stone named "...Baby One More Time" the best debut single of all time, which is impressive, to say the least.
In an interview with the magazine way back in 2000, Spears opened up about the song, saying that she wanted her voice to sound "kind of rusty."
"So much attitude in that song,” Spears continued. "I was so happy because there’s a lot of good songs out there, but it’s rare when you can take a song and really put your name all over it and put your personality into it."
The track, which was featured on Spears' debut album by the same name, received high praise worldwide, topping the charts in more than 20 countries and even hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The music video for the song is one of the most iconic in pop music. It features Spears dressed in a school girl outfit and was a source of inspiration for girls around the globe for years. In November 2024, Billboard reported that the music video joined the billion views club.
