Britney Spears is hitting us with one of her classics one more time. 

The pop star burst onto the scene in 1998 with the song “Baby One More Time”. The music video featured the then-17-year-old singer dancing in the school halls wearing a uniform and it became her first massive hit. The music video was named the best of the ‘90s by Billboard and voted the third-most influential video in the history of pop music by Jam!

The single itself topped charts in 22 countries and sold over 10 million copies. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the song at number one on a list of the 100 Greatest Debut Singles of All Time and at number 205 on their updated list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

24 years later, Britney is sharing a new version of “Baby One More Time” with her fans. 

In the singer’s own words, “I haven’t shared my voice in an extremely long time… maybe too long,” but she posted a video of herself singing an acoustic rendition of her debut single while doing her laundry. 

The video marks the first time that fans have heard the Grammy winner sing since her conservatorship was terminated last November.
