We always knew Britney Spears wasn't literally asking someone to physically hit her when Baby One More Time was released back in 1999. But there was always a little bit of ambiguity around the subject. Well, now the story behind the iconic (yes, it IS iconic) chart-topper. Baby One More Time has been uncovered, and it's not what we thought at all.
Baby One More Time [ENHANCED CD] - Amazon.com Music. Listen to any song, anywhere with Amazon Music Unlimited. Debut album contain anything else that remotely approaches that instant hit single. (You Drive Me) Crazy. On the front and back is well done, and the vinyl comes with a free digital download.

The track was penned by Swedish songwriter Max Martin and Swedish/Moroccan songwriter Rami Yacoub, about a girl who has just split up with her boyfriend. The two Swedes thought that 'hit' was slang for 'call' in the states and so penned the lyrics as a way of saying 'call me baby one more time'.
