The music video's original setup was in high contrast to what eventually became the final product. The plan was to have the video in a cartoon-like environment, in a likely attempt to attract the audience of younger children,
something Britney was unhappy with. She argued that she wanted her video to reflect hers and the lives of her fans and wanted to set the video in a school, pitching the idea to the director and saying she wanted the video to have dance scenes. The original setting was later scrapped and replaced with Britney's concept.
The original idea for the wardrobe was jeans and a T-shirt, but during the wardrobe fitting,
Britney decided to change it for a schoolgirl outfit. Every piece of wardrobe in the video came from Kmart and not one piece of clothing in the video cost more than $17 which was a part of the video's charm.
When asked about the knotted shirt design, Britney replied: The outfits looked kind of dorky, so I was like, 'Let's tie up our shirts and be cute'. About the experience of shooting her first music video, Britney said: It was a wonderful experience. All these people there, working for you. I had my own trailer. It was an amazing experience. The music video was shot at Venice High School, the same school used to film the movie Grease.
I apologize for disappointing you.
