Did you know that Britney Spears’s megahit '...Baby One More Time' (1998) came about because of a misunderstanding?
Swedish songwriter Max Martin thought 'hit me' meant 'call me' – a tiny language mix-up that ended up creating one of the most iconic pop songs of all time.
For more than two decades since, Max Martin has shaped global pop culture, writing chart-topping hits for artists like Taylor Swift and The Weeknd.
A small mistake with a massive impact.
Oops… we did it again! 😉
