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:
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
“If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing ... I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
