On this night in 1999 you were listening to... Britney Spears

A Friday Flashback to get your weekend started…

BEFORE THE HEAD-shaving, the 55-hour marriage, the breakdown and the paparrazi, there was the Britney Spears of 1999.

Rejoice in all her ‘innocent schoolgirl’ glory with this classic pop love song that kicked off a thousand imitations.

But none will ever reach the heights of Brit.

Ah, those were but simpler days, eh?
