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:
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“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)
