Born To Make You Happy’, the fourth single to be taken from Britney’s debut album, was released in January 2000 and shot straight into the top of charts around the World, securing her status as a pop phenomenon.

Between recording her second album, Britney went on an extensive worldwide tour.

From the sweet melody of "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart," to the driving funk of "Baby One More Time," to the funky reggae beats of "Soda Pop," to her soulful take on the Jets hit "You've Got It All," Britney's lively, assured vocal style is intoxicating. "I want to an artist that everyone can relate to, that's young, happy and fun," she says.

Despite a refreshingly adolescent attitude, Britney's life has hardly been traditional. "I've done the prom thing, but it's only once a year," she notes about her unconventional teenage lifestyle. "I need to sing and I love to travel."

A huge Mariah Carey , Michael Jackson and Madonna fan, Britney has been scrutinized by the media with reports of a breast augmentation, and a love affair with England's most eligible bachelor, Prince William.

After the success of her first album, it wouldn't have suprised many onlookers if she'd disappeared, replaced by the next big thing in Girl-Pop.But she didn't! Britney came back with a second album, that had the same kind of infectious pop songs as the first, but now with a more sophisticated, sassy sound.

With the Britney Spears hype nowhere near over, she returned to the music scene in 2000 with her follow-up album, entitled Oops!... I Did It Again. With a hit video accompanying the hit title track (in which Ms. Spears has definitely done it again, this time in a red leather catsuit), a second worldwide tour in support of her album, and millions of fans, Britney has definitely accomplished what few artists ever accomplish, at the mere age of 18.

The album  debuting at #1 in the U.S.A., Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and 15 other countries worldwide.

The title track and first single was "Oops! I Did It Again". As Britney said herself - "I'm not really doing anything different this time around but I am really growing up, as a person and that just all flows with the overall sound and feel of this record. There’s no master plan! I’m just gonna be me and hope it all works out!"

It certainly did work out!  Britney, armed with more maturity had produced an album that strengthened her position as the most successful (and most iconic) singer since the emergence of Madonna. The title track, which deals with romantic mis-intentions, was written and produced by longtime collaborators Max Martin and Rami and has already broken the record for first week adds at CHR/Pop radio with 155 adds.

"It’s an incredible song!" Britney declares, I think it’s even better than

"Baby One More Time!" Also incredible is the video whose futuristic/Barbarella concept was Britney's idea.

In regard to the emotional depth of the album, Britney asserts, “ I don’t want to just be some singer who sings a song just to sing it.  When you sing a song with feeling and do your all, you connect, and that’s crucial to me. Especially since I think that the songs on this album are ten times better than on my first album, so I really want my fans to feel and hear how much these songs mean to me.”

Along with her rigorous schedule and the release of her successful 2X

Platinum home video “Time Out with Britney Spears” in late 1999, Britney

and her mother have written a book entitled Heart To Heart. As if that

weren’t enough, Britney has also created the Britney Spears Foundation

in conjunction with the Giving Back Fund. Its first endowment is the

formation of a performing arts summer camp for underprivileged kids in

Massachusetts. "I’m so happy to be able to give kids the opportunity to

learn about amazing world of dance and music that I’ve have been lucky

enough to make such a big part of my own life."

The 8 times platinum Oops!... I Did It Again spawned number 1 singles like "Lucky," "Stronger" (in which she performs a lap dance to a chair), and "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know." One listen to "Oops!.. I Did It Again" and Britney will make a believer out of you - one more time.

The most noticeable aspect of the single, the video and the album is

maturity, which is just what Britney had in mind.
