Composition
"Oops!... I Did It Again" is a teen pop and dance-pop song that lasts for three minutes and 32 seconds. According to Jocelyn Vena of MTV, the song's lyrics "reflected Spears' evolution from naughty schoolgirl to intergalactic sex kitten." The song is composed in the key of C-sharp minor and is set in time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 94 beats per minute. The song's vocal range spans from C♯3 to C♯5. A review of Billboard noticed the song's similarity in sound to that of Spears' debut single "...Baby One More Time", while noting that the beat sounded similar to the remix of "(You Drive Me) Crazy". "Oops!... I Did It Again has a basic sequence of C♯m–A-G♯ as its chord progression. The song's bridge features a dialogue that makes reference to James Cameron movie Titanic (1997) "But wait a minute isn't this? Yeah, yes it is. But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean at the end? Well Baby I went down and got it for you. Awe you shouldn't have".

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
