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. Aw, you shouldn't have".

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
