Contents

Production

After finishing her ...Baby One More Time Tour and vacationing for 6 days, she returned to New York City the week of September 20, 1999 to begin recording her follow-up to her debut. She however didn't start recording the bulk until November 1999. The album contains contributions from Max Martin, Eric Foster White, Diane Warren, and Babyface, among others.[15] The only songs that were recorded at Max Martin's Cheiron Studios from November 1–7, 1999 were "Oops!... I Did It Again", "Walk On By", "What U See (Is What U Get)", and "Don't Go Knockin' On My Door". The songs "Stronger" and "Lucky" were recorded, but the final mixes weren't complete until January 2000, along with the album's first single, "Oops!...I Did It Again". "Where Are You Now" was recorded in November at Cheiron and finished at Battery Studios, NYC in January 2000.

On January 7, 2000, Spears was about halfway through the recording process of the album. Spears had been working on the (then untitled) album both in the U.S. and in Sweden. Spears said that this time around, "The album will be a bit funkier and edgier than [her] previous material". At the time she was in New York City recording new songs and finishing up songs she began working on in November and December.[15] "When I did the first album, I had just turned 16. I mean, when I look at the album cover, I'm like, 'Oh, my lordy,'" she said. "I know this next album's going to be totally different--especially the material. I just got finished recording the first six tracks in Sweden two months ago, and the material is so much more funkier and edgier. And, of course, it's more mature because I've grown as a person too." Spears was heavily pressured for the follow up album due to ...Baby One More Time's" huge commercial success: "It's kind of hard following ten million, I have to say. But after listening to the new material and recording it, I'm really confident with it."[16] "Can't Make You Love Me"'s instrumental track and melody were recorded in the fall of 1999 in Sweden, with Britney recording the vocals in mid-January at Parc Studios in Orlando, FL.[17][18] Her cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was recorded with Rodney Jerkins at Pacifique Recording Studios in Hollywood, CA from February 24–26, 2000[19][20] after attending the 42nd Grammy Awards. Diane Warren's "When Your Eyes Say" was recorded at Battery Studios New York on Friday, March 3, 2000, which preceded her TRL appearance that day. Footage of this recording session appeared in a MuchMusic documentary. It was one of the last songs recorded for the album as most of the album's tracks were recorded between November 1999 and January 2000 in Stockholm, Sweden and New York City.

During the release of Oops!...I Did It Again, Spears told that "I mean, of course there's some pressure," Spears says. "But in my opinion, [Oops!] is a lot better than the first album. It's edgier - it has more of an attitude. It's more me, and I think teenagers will relate to it more." Geoff Mayfield, director of charts at Billboard, adds that the decision to release Oops! less than a year and a half after Spears' debut amounts to "very smart timing. My philosophy is, when you have a young fan base, get 'em while they're hot."[21]

Reception

Critical

Initial critical response to Oops!...I Did It Again was generally favorable. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received a score of 72, based on 12 reviews.[22]

Entertainment Weekly's David Browne says the best of the tracks undermine the criticism that all teen pop is merely perky smiles and choreography. A slew of producers and writers, most notably Max Martin, ditch the Tinkertoy feel of Spears' first album and replace it with palpitating, bass-heavy constructs.[23] MTV Asia gave the album 8 stars rating saying "the album has the dodgy title, the fans generally feel that Britney has improved quite a bit, and that this is a brilliant second album. Britney is armed with a more mature and seasoned pop star look, stronger and poppier songs, and of course, extensive media exposure.[24] The album received generally positive reviews from critics resulting in the reviews being more positive than Spears's previous album. Rolling Stone gave the album a 3.5 rating calling the album "fantastic pop cheese, with much better song-factory hooks than 'N Sync or BSB get", this was a huge step up from the 2 star rating they gave Spears for her previous album.[25]

Allmusic gave the album a 4 star rating saying "It has the same combination of sweetly sentimental ballads and endearingly gaudy dance-pop that made ...Baby One More Time".[26] NME reported (with a score of 8 out of 10) that "She's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form," though it also refers to her as an "evil genius" and rather cynically compares her music to the addictive drug ketamine, based on the drug's tendency to blank the user's mind and thought processes.[27]

Controversies

Copyright suit

Spears and her recording and publishing companies have been sued by two musicians claiming two of her songs were copied from their tune. Michael Cottril and Lawrence Wnukowski filed a copyright case against Spears, Zomba Recording Corp, Jive Records, Wright Entertainment Group and BMG Music Publishing.[28]

According to Mr Cottrill and Mr Wnukowski, Spears' What U See (Is What U Get) and Can't Make You Love Me are "virtually identical" to one of their songs. A spokesperson from Spears' record label in the UK, Jive Records, was unable to comment on the case. The two tracks in dispute from "Oops!...I Did It Again".[28]

However, Mr. Cottrill and Mr. Wnukowski claim that in 1999 they authored, recorded and copyrighted a song called "What You See Is What You Get". They say this song was submitted to one of Spears' representatives for consideration on a future album. It was rejected, they say, but add that Spears' What U See (Is What U Get) and Can't Make You Love Me are based on their tune.[28]
