Max Martin: 'Happy 24th birthday to [You Drive Me] Crazy' 🧡

[Pirre]

If there would be only 1 (Britney) song I could play for the rest of my life. It's definitely this one 🙏🏻🧡🥳😍

It's the ultimate 90's bubblegum pop anthem. And Britney released it 🧡🙏🏻

The ultimate gift for me was that I never expected to see Britney in Vegas twice AND she would perform my favorite song. 🧡 I can honestly say. Life was made 🙏🏻

PS: **** THIS **** THAT NEXT YEAR THIS WILL BE 25 YEARS OLD. 

I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE'RE GETTING OLD 🥀⚰️💀

 

Nevertheless, happy birthday you beautiful song 🧡

[Eternalhouse]

Great post. 

[princessmimi]

Happy 24th bday to one of Britney's best and catchiest songs!

Ironic how this genius of a man will promote a Britney song with a complex collection of photos, behind the scenes and various other clips... took the time and wrote a sound description with interesting trivia. Max, you're a lovely gent!

 

Also ironic how the best remixes for this specific song are available only on vinyl.

[PokemonSpears]

[BlackoutITZ]

You drive CRAY ZAY I just can't sleep

This was the bridge to her becoming an icon and precursor to OIDIA. It should've been a number one had they released an official single. 
Has the Britney elements:
1: Memorable intro
2: Polished pop production 
3: Dance break 
4: Leaves us wanting more

Which remixes are you referring to? I would love to hear them.

It was indeed lovely that Max (or his team) took the time to share such an in-depth text about the intricacies of the song and the variations between both versions. All OG fans should read it!

PS: Just read that this is not Max's original account? Well, shame, because it was a wonderful post.

"The newly recorded vocals of the 'Stop Remix!' show the emergence of the drawl that would keep characterizing Spears' way of singing, with a delivery leading to deliberate mispronunciation. The vowel sounds in lyrics such as "Bay-bay, I’m so into yew…", "Tell MAY…you’re so into ma-a-a-ay" and "that I'm the on-LIE" (instead of "only") sound at the same time different, exaggerated and pronounced mistakenly in the remix, making the song even more fun, memorable and appealing"

WHAT ??? I never noticed that this is a difference between the album version and the Stop remix

It's a fun song but it's not even top 5 on the album it's on.
