Quote:
"Lucky" received general acclaim from music critics. A review by the NME staff said that "Lucky" is "perhaps Britney's finest moment. The ultimate mallrat, bittersweet teenage symphony." They considered the song Spears' version of "Where Did It All Go Wrong?" by English rock band Oasis, and went to describe its lyrical content as "a heart-rending tale of life at the top of the teen pop tree, transformed into an anthem for dramatic, moody 12-year-old girls everywhere by Max Martin's scary talent for teenybop lyrics."
As Britney's sophomore album Oops!...I Did It Again turns 15, let's take a moment to appreciate this mastepiece.

I have to say: I was so annoyed by this song back in 2000.
I loved the video but I just didn't like the song.
Now, just like Oops...i see it's brilliance.
Yes i said it. i wasn't a fan of oops the song back in 2000. I still stanned and made...I mean asked my mother to buy the album for me though
Great song! It's so strange how it appears to foreshadow her future struggles with fame.
Yeah, that's almost scary tbh... It's like Max Martin knew all along what was going to happen in the years to come, what Britney would feel...
That is such a special song
