Oops!... I Did It Again is another producer-driven Britney Spears album: she co-wrote just one of its twelve tracks, the closer Dear Diary. Max Martin and Rami Yacoub wrote and produced the title track and most of the record, continuing the Swedish pop formula of her debut. Spears remains the performer rather than the author here.

Oops!... I Did It Again is the second studio album by Britney Spears, released in May 2000 on Jive Records and produced by Max Martin, Rami, Andreas Carlsson, and others. It was the fastest-selling album in history by a female artist at the time of its release, selling 1.319 million copies in its first week in the United States and debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. Spears co-wrote some tracks, including the lead single, which was entirely written by Max Martin and Rami; the album continues the sonic formula of the debut with a slightly more mature pop-R&B sound, with 'Lucky,' 'Stronger,' and 'Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know' as the follow-up singles. 'Stronger' reached number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the defining pop anthems of Spears's early career, with a production that anticipated the harder-edged electronic pop she would develop on Blackout. Oops!... I Did It Again has been certified nine-times platinum in the United States and is the best-selling album of Spears's career; the album's commercial scale and the speed of its first-week sales made it a reference point for pop album commercial performance discussions for the following decade.
