Originally on Britney’s 1998 debut, the track was re-recorded the following year for the soundtrack to Drive Me Crazy, which accounts for Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier appearances in the music video. The single peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 13, 1999:

Happy Third Decade, Britney!
