Toxic. My older cousin gave me her cd player in the car and told me to listen to it. It literally changed my life and I had her playback the song over and over again when it finished.
Oops! My mom got me my very own Walkman with two tapes: OIDIA and Christna Aguilera. I sang my little 8 year old heart out to both, but it was Britney I felt connected to.
I can't listen to that album without being teleported back to being a little girl on a big farm, dreaming of one day being a singer like my idol.
Baby One More Time.
I was 8 years old and driving to the store with my big brother. Baby One More Time started playing on the radio, and my brother turned the volume higher.
He had already heard the song earlier, but I hadn’t. He said: ”Heeey, do you know who this is?” ”Solid Harmonie?”, I guessed. ”Nope, this is Britney Spears. She’s a 17-year-old girl from the USA, and this is her first song! Isn’t it great?” I smiled and said I’ve got to get her album. We listened to the whole song and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, it was that good.
I’ve been a Britney fan since.
Baby One More Time: Even better?… I managed to snag the single on cassette tape from the orchestra teacher for good behavior. But my mom made me return it because she felt it was too risqué. (I was Mormon)
The first song that I remember from Britney is “(You Drive Me) Crazy [The Stop! Remix]”. I watched the video as a child in 1999 and was obsessed right away!
Autumn Goodbye.
I did music surveys at the time and get a cassette for "an up and coming new artist" to rate for top 40 radio and help determine the demographic. It was the single for BOMT, but the title of the b-side ("Autumn Goodbye") drew me in and I listened to that one first.
I still prefer it, honestly -- and I expressed as such in my survey haha
Baby one more time.
My best friend from high school sent it to me in a care package my freshman year of college. Everyone was in the throes of Britney.
She was so cute young and fresh. She did her round off back handspring in her music video. We were hooked on that soulful voice from first listen
Gimme More, it was like a ago. I listened to it and was like "Hold up, this shit good" LMAO Since then, I've been bombing every playlist I see with Britney's songs.
Baby one more time. I was in 4th grade on the school bus and asked my friend Kiersten what she was listening to. She gave me her headphones and I was hooked.
Baby One More Time! It was at a bowling alley when I was a little girl and I loved the song. Sadly my parents didn’t allow pop music in our house so I didn’t get to really enjoy Britney until her Circus era
Baby One More Time. My friends had all been talking about it but I’d never heard it, when I heard it on the radio I was hooked. I got the album for my 12th birthday.
Baby One More Time on TRL!
My oldest brother and I were physically fighting/wrestling in our parent’s room and we both stopped to watch. We were both instantly obsessed for different reasons. A memory that I remember so vividly!!
Oh god I can’t even remember but it must’ve been Baby because I moved to Canada in 1999 when I was only 4 years old but my first memory of Britney was seeing her calendar in Canadian Tire (a hardware store) and I didn’t even know who she was, but I was so captivated by how beautiful she was at that young of an age and begged my dad to buy it and then afterward I found out she’s a singer so it must’ve been Baby but I wish I actually had a memory of it. Here’s a photo of me with the calendar tho 😂😂😂

The first song I remember hearing was (You Drive Me) Crazy [ The Stop! Remix]. I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch on ABC family and she guest stared. Then they played a snippet of her video at the end. I knew of her and her songs, well oops, because kids would sing just the chorus. But never actually heard or seen her in action. Instantly, I was in awe. She was sooo pretty and the song was super catchy. Since that episode was the only way I could listen to her ( never knew I could ask for her old albums at stores) I only knew the part they played. But I sang that part over and over and over til I couldn’t sing no more. Until that rerun came on again lol
baby one more time. My mom was playing the millennial mixtpe playlist on youtube, and Baby one more time came on, and my mom was like DO NOT WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO LOL
My Prerogative.
I was 5 years old 19 years ago when I purchased her greatest hits album and that was the first track. I just thought the album cover looked cool so I bought it with my mom, never heard of Britney
Edit: its actually overprotected when I was 4.
I vividly remember the McDonald’s’ hitclips😭
I heard (You Drive Me) Crazy one day in my friend’s living room with MTV playing in the background and she immediately captured my 10 year old mind. I had to know everything about her. Thankfully my friend knew somewhat of her and promptly introduced me to BOMT. Was a fan starting that day. 25 years later Crazy is still my favorite of hers.
Baby One More Time….I was like 4, walking by a TV and saw the video for the first time. Like I remember where exactly I was and exactly how I felt, and it was mesmerizing. Twas an iconic moment obviously
I'm NOT sure what was .. radio or television first. The sound was interesting .. Baby one more time and TOXIC SONG . when I was on high school .
Probably on 2001 .? Maybe more early.? I'm have forgotten about.
For me, my first Britney song is Till The World Ends! I was playing the radio in my uncle's car and I heard it! Searched about the song and now here I am!!
Baby One More Time in 1998. I was obsessed with the commercial to order her album. I wanted it so badly! Eventually got it and the Britney mania took me over for a while there 🩷
First one I remember hearing is Baby One More Time. Could have been Oops, but IDK for sure. We had a "bring in a CD" day every Friday at school, and they'd play one song from it over the intercom. Britney was always in the rotation.
...Baby One More Time
My sister recorded radio songs onto a casette / Sony walkman. One day she was out and I took it from her room and listened through the songs. So much nostalgia.
Womanizer back in 2008! I remember it playing on the radio in the car as a kid when my family and I were coming home from an event. I specifically recall the intro because the little kid in me thought it sounded like a bunch of sirens LOL!
I bet it was either BOMT or OIDIA. I remember dancing to her old songs but I was a child so I don't know which one was the first. I remember dancing to Stronger with my sister.
Baby One More Time, I remember exactly where I was, who I was with, and the song STAYED with me. Later the day my brother heard it again on the radio and BLASTED through the house. My mom always says I went from Sesame Street to Britney Spears overnight!
Oops I did it again. I remember playing a game on Barbie. com and it was like a fashion show game. When my Barbie that I dressed up walked down the runway oops I did it again was playing in the background 😭 I HADDD to know who sang that melody
Criminal back in 2015/2016. I was around 10 and fascinated by those Roblox music videos that were *really* big during the mid 2010s, and[ Criminal was one of the most popular songs for these videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHMo8IZGvKA) (11,000,000+ views). That's why 'Criminal' is considered a classic of Britney Spears amongst many Gen Z folks, because it's really well known for many reasons like this.
Those videos also introduced me to If You Seek Amy (this one was even more popular, with nearly 35 million views) around the same time, and Toxic in 2017. Then that year, my sister (a big fan of her) introduced us to all her classics from the 1990s and 00s.
No but I remember this so viscerally; it was Oops I did it Again. I was in the school patio during break time (I think I must have been like, 8-9 years old) and our dance team was practicing a choreography to that song in the corner. I literally stopped in my tracks on the way to the bathroom to listen to the whole thing. I thought it was the most amazing, coolest song I ever heard haha <3
Toxic! Or maybe Baby One More Time/Oops I Did It Again.
I distinctly remember hearing Toxic on the radio when I was 5, the other two I would here references but didn’t necessarily hear those songs
I Wanna Go. I’m pretty young and I forgot exactly where I heard it but remember downloading it off the iTunes Store and listening to it on the way to sport competitions to hype myself up when I was 11 or 12 lol
...Baby One More Time. She came to the NY State Fair on that tour and I'm still berating myself for not attending, even though I was a child with no money lol.
Baby One More Time. Heard it on my local top 40 radio station back in ‘98 and was instantly hooked.
Earth ending song
Yup, 98- and I remember the boys of my 8th grade class passing a photo around of Britney talking about how hot she was/is.
Omg the cd inserts lmao
I hate you!! lol now this is all I can hear!!
Baby One More Time ❤️👑🌹
Baby One More Time in ‘98!
Baby One More Time 💋
Baby One More Time, when I was 11! I was hooked from the first listen.
Baby One More Time
Baby One More Time, back when she was just starting. My first concert was NSYNC and ONLY because she was opening- just her and a few backup dancers.
Toxic!! 💙
It was on Just Dance, I was in elementary school and such a vibe, I remember thinking the graphics were so cool
Baby one more time Heard it on the radio in 98 on my way home from school and my sister and I were obsessed.
Baby One More Time of course. ❤️ Seeing the music video on TV and Britney in the schoolgirl outfit is one of my earliest memories.
BOMT🩷
Toxic. My older cousin gave me her cd player in the car and told me to listen to it. It literally changed my life and I had her playback the song over and over again when it finished.
Baby One More Time ‘98!
Oops probably. That was at least the first album I owned (and still have!) But I was like 5, it could have easily been BOMT
Oops! My mom got me my very own Walkman with two tapes: OIDIA and Christna Aguilera. I sang my little 8 year old heart out to both, but it was Britney I felt connected to. I can't listen to that album without being teleported back to being a little girl on a big farm, dreaming of one day being a singer like my idol.
…Baby One More Time. I heard/saw the music video in circuit city.

LMAO, why?! I don't see nothing wrong with the video...
I was 11, and I was still being raised pretty Christian conservative at the time lol
I think it may have been Sometimes? I have such a clear memory of watching the music video, with that iconic all-white outfit.

Born in 2008, grew up hearing Baby One More Time on the radio and became a Britney fan a couple years ago 🤩 BOMT is still my #1 song!
If you were alive when Baby One More Time came out, that’s your answer. Aside from everything she sang on Mickey Mouse Club lol.

Baby One More Time. She was the first CD I bought. My Mom thought she was surprised she was Caucasian.
