three MTV VMA nominations.Īlso like …Baby, it didn’t actually win any. But just to note, in 2000 Oops… was nominated in the categories of Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Viewer’s Choice. Nigel Dick, who directed the trendsetting music video to Britney’s hit single “ …Baby One More Time“, was also put in charge of the creation of the video for this track.Īnd like the one to …Baby, the Oops… music video earned Britney Spears and co. So one of the purposes of this song was to set the record straight, that Spears did in fact know what time it was. And the fact that she is not some innocuous, run-of-the-mill teen is something which her current boyfriend is learning the hard way. This statement speaks not only to the storyline of the song but also Britney’s career at the time, as the masses had difficulty deciding whether she was an innocent teen or a sexualized adult. In other words, she was sort of portraying both of those roles simultaneously. Indeed the thesis sentiment of this song may not be so much that she is careless in the way she treats romantic interest. Rather as noted in the chorus, it may be that she is “not that innocent”. So the more-common understanding is more like the vocalist has already done this to a number of different guys, with the current addressee being her most-recent victim.Īnd again, the singer isn’t proud of this addictive tendency she possesses to break dudes’ heart. But at the same time, she definitely doesn’t come off as being overtaken by self-guilt either. But such an understanding wouldn’t really make sense. Or let’s say it’s not likely that he would keep being fooled by the same woman who habitually dumps him.

Narrator is a Serial HeartbreakerĪnd on the surface, it sounds as if she is regretting doing so to this same dude over and over. So the lyrics of the song serve two purposes. First is to let this guy that honestly, she isn’t that serious. And secondly it features Brit sort of beating up on herself for once “again” making the mistake of playing with someone’s heart. Or simply put, she led the addressee feel the two of them were an item when in fact, at least in her mind, they aren’t.

Or more accurately the vocalist let her playful, we can say even somewhat-insensitive romantic side get the best of her.
