I don't think I've ever actually thought about that song before, I was always a Christina Arugula kind of person, but is she telling her theoretical love interest to keep hitting her? Or is it like hitting on someone kind of slang?

Officially, it's 'hit me up' as in 'call me'.

But I don't think anyone involved (maybe apart from Britney) was completely unaware of the other interpretations.

And also around the same age as her so we just saw a hot chick and didn't think anything else.

Her music was aimed at teenagers. Horny teen boys wanted her, horny teen girls wanted to be her (some wanted her as well).

I don't rememeber the adults around me at the time caring much about her. Of course, I was more naive then so maybe there were people being creepy about it and I was thankfully shielded.

Actually, looking back, her music videos were definitely sexualized so thinking adults were telling then 16-17 Britney to dance and act like that is pretty disturbing.

To be fair, I would argue a good number of the users here were too young to even know or care about her age. Let alone listened or watched her music.

To put this in perspective, when Spears was 16, I was 6. I imagine that was the case for many here.

And then a judge ruled that it was OK for a man to sell Child porn of her when she was 10

Both the guys selling the child porn of her and the pro pedophile judge are dead now and never faced any real justice

So, are you saying you don't think it's sexual, or you think it's okay for a 16 year old to be sexualized in a video that will be broadcast nation wide?

I think she was a teenage girl, singing about teenage things, dressed how teenagers dress, appealing to a teenage audience.

Well I was in like 5th grade when that came out, so it wasn't weird for me to be crushing on her (which I did briefly), however it was weird that grown adults had her making songs like that in retrospect.

Man, remember how mainstream counting down the days until an underage actress/singer became 18 was? Like radio DJs would openly talk about it. There were websites.

basically the songwriters first language isnt English and he doesnt care that much about specific meanings of words if they sound good to him

https://www.stereogum.com/2191267/the-number-ones-britney-spears-baby-one-more-time/columns/the-number-ones/

Martin has referred to his approach as melodic math the scientific art of picking words that will submit to his melodies. Martin didnt grow up speaking English, but he did grow up listening to pop music in English, so the meaning was always secondary to the sound. Thats how he writes, too. Martin regularly mangles English-language grammar and slang because its not important to him. With Baby One More Time, he figured that everyone would understand the whole hit me, baby, one more time refrain meant call me, that it wasnt about violence or S&M. Jive changed Martins title to Baby One More Time, trying to avoid controversy. (Technically, the title is Baby One More Time, but Im not typing a million ellipses into this column.) It didnt work. Maybe that weird S&M frisson helped the song become indelible, inescapable. With everything else that we know about Britney Spears career, would you doubt it?
