...Baby One More Time (song) "...Baby One More Time" was released as Spears's debut single on October 23, 1998, by Jive Records, when she was only sixteen years old.[13] Spears has named "...Baby One More Time" as one of her favorite songs from her entire career,[14] naming "Toxic" and "He About to Lose Me" as the other two.[14] Like TLC and Backstreet Boys, British boy band Five were almost considered to record the song, according to their former manager Simon Cowell, who would work with Spears in the second season of the American version of The X Factor in 2012, in his autobiography Sweet Revenge.[15]
