What was the first Britney's song you have listened in your life?

[Oprah Winfrey.]

First song was Baby one more time of course but the first time I heard it was on a children’s movies called robots I was 5 or 6 at the time and kept replaying the scene, and I think that’s the moment I turned gay lol Idek at the time that was a Britney Spears song

But you never heard her on the radio or something? Idk how could anyone escape Britney back then, or where are you from?

At least here in Latin America she was very popular, you would hear her at the super market, at the malls, even if you didn't watch MTV, her videos would play on Nickelodeon and Fox Kids too, she would be on the news, magazines, Pepsi ads, etc.

Never listened to her on the radio. I was two young and only care about Saint Seiya and other animes at that time. I live in a small town. No cable TV. No personal computer. No access to internet... No money to buy original content, piracy ruled a few years later, but still hard to find her music.

Eu só lembrava das gozações a respeito dela no Casseta & Planeta. (Virginey Sperms).

[All I remember were the jokes about her in "Casseta & Planeta" (TV Show).]

(You Drive Me) Crazy as a 6th grader in the Middle East, and been hooked ever since. 

[Rachel Green Geller]

I don't really know. I became a fan during the Circus era when Womanizer came out, but when I started diving into the Britney universe I realized I knew many of her songs. I'll take a guess and say BOMT.

[SlayOut]

Subconsciously, it was probably Baby One More Time. But the first song I ever bought was Gimme More and the rest is history!

[dahum]

It was either Crazy or Oops back in 2000 when i first watched their music videos on tv being included constantly in western music programs and specials.

From the Middle East and was 10/11 years old and was learning the dance moves with my sister and having a blast.

The moment i truly fell in love with her and became a big fan was during the balcony scene from Lucky and thinking WOW she’s the most beautiful woman i’ve ever seen singing such an incredible song sonically.

Hello @PablitoXS if you wanna come over (me), don't let me be the last to know, hun 

 

----

ad for the question, the first song I have listened to was Overprotected... it was recorded in a compilation (pirate) my mom had in CD and I fell in love with her since then.

[ElenaB]

it was bomt. i was at a restaurant with my parents and the video came on tv and i asked them who that was. my dad said she was one of the spice girls that was going solo  but my mom told me she was a new singer called britney spears  i was only 6 and i felt completely mesmerized by that girl! i thought she was the coolest! 

[vzlafan]

I remember that in my hometown everybody was talking about her, but i was like WTF i falled in love with Xtina First, but when she dropped Oops i did it again i just falled in love with her, when mtv latin american was airing Oops at the same airing sometimes and You drive me crazy, Born to make you happy and From the bottom of my broken heart wasn't realized on MTVlatin , even when the oops era was finishing mtv dropped the "britney weekends" and it was just amazing spending your weekend watching britney tv specials 

[Eternalhouse]

Surprising it's not baby one more time for a lot of you guys and I like it for some reason lol.

For me

It was the iconic three piano notes starting bomt.

Duh dah dah (boom! Oh baybah baybah)

[BSfan4Ever]

I don't know if it was Gimme More or Baby One More Time 

(I don't drag me, I've only been a fan of Britney since 2020 )

[Alex Murr]

I think it was Crazy but I didn't pay attention to it, then I listened to Oops and I liked it too, but I only liked those two songs, by the Britney era I became a fan. 

[ifuseekjoey1]

Baby One More Time when it debuted on TRL! I'll never forget rushing home from school hoping to catch Britney's videos!

[X_M]

Baby one more time, in 1998, omg i'm old

[The Femme Fatale]

Man it was so long ago lol, I’m pretty sure it was …Baby One More Time because I remember I wanted the radio to play it all the time but I don’t remember the exact date I heard it (I was 6-7 years old), I do know that I remember hearing Sometimes a lot on the radio though.

Lol at “one of the Spice Girls that was going solo.” I feel Britney would love to be from the UK since she always talks highly of the UK and she loves to pull out a British accent every once in a while.

[OriginalDull]

Baby One More Time. I was seven or eight, and there used to be an infomercial that would come on and I would drop everything to go listen to it. I remember very clearly my grandmother or someone saying, "she's not even old enough to order her own CD!"

[MasterMindz]

"Sometimes" was my first interaction with Britney

BOMT in 1999

Honestly same. The only difference is I discovered her music in 2013.

 

It was through Womanizer as well, I heard it in the club and was so mesmerized by the unique sound of it and catchy chorus that I had to google it up when I came home, I was surprised when I saw it was by THE Britney Spears! Because ofc I knew who she was, that she was a big celebrity, but never really knew anything about her career except movie Crossroads which I got in 2005 on DVD (and still have it😂)

I knew mostly about her private life (paparazzi, shaving head etc.) because of the news, but wasn't in pop culture at all. 

 

And then after Womanizer I realised how many Britney songs I knew, I was shook😱from the first second I recognised Crazy, Lucky, Overprotected and Not A Girl, FIRST SECOND!! That's how overplayed they must had been on the radio when I was little, because that's the only way I could hear them! 

 

Interestingly enough, BOMT wasn't familiar to my ears. Oops, Slave and Toxic only partially, like choruses or something🙈 

 

But to finally answer your question: no, I'm not sure which Britney song I heard first it could be either one of those that I heard as a kid on the radio...
