"My loneliness is killing me (and I) I must confess, I still believe (still believe). When I'm not with you I lose my mind. Give me a sign. Hit me, baby, one more time."
One of pop icon Britney Spears' biggest hits, "Baby One More Time," was released in November 1998 and hit #1 on the Billboard chart in January 1999 when she was just 17. The song stayed on the charts for 32 weeks and the album of the same name sold 13 million copies worldwide.
