The beginning of the song's chorus, "Oops, I got 99 problems singing 'bye, bye, bye' / Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me / Better hit me, baby, one more time", references six songs released between 1998 and 2004: "...Baby One More Time ", "Oops!... I Did It Again ", "99 Problems ", "Bye Bye Bye ", "The Next Episode " and "Ride wit Me ".[ 7] In an interview with Polish music magazine luvPOP , Anne-Marie explained the song: "It is all about that year, when I was that age just listening to that music that I loved at that time. You know, Christina Aguilera , Missy Elliott . All of these songs...Yeah, it just takes me back to that time."[ 8] In a March 2017 interview, she mentioned Alanis Morissette as a big influence on her while growing up.[ 9]
