TLC: ...Baby One More Time

Swedish pop mastermind Max Martin initially wrote Hit Me Baby for the multi-platinum R&B trio TLC. While the group liked the melody, T-Boz flatly refused the track due to the lyrical phrasing, famously stating she would never sing "hit me baby one more time" due to accidental connotations with domestic violence. The track was reworked, handed to a teenage Britney Spears, and revolutionised modern teen pop forever.
