Lucky (Britney Spears song)
"Lucky" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her second studio album, ''Oops!... I Did It Again'' (2000). It was released on August 8, 2000 by Jive Records as the second single of the album. After meeting with producers Max Martin and Rami Yacoub in Sweden, the singer recorded several songs for the album, including "Lucky". The song tells a story about a famous movie star named Lucky, who, despite seemingly having it all – fame, wealth, beauty – is truly lonely and unhappy on the inside. It received critical acclaim from music critics, who considered its melody and rhythm as sweet and catchy, and noted the lyrics to be about Spears herself.
"Lucky" achieved commercial success worldwide, peaking at number one in Austria, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, while reaching the top ten in several European countries. In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number five, and is Spears' tenth best-selling single in the country, having sold over 225,000 copies there. An accompanying music video was directed by Dave Meyers, and portrays Spears as herself and a melancholy movie star Lucky, who just want to have some fun in life. Spears has performed "Lucky" in a number of live appearances and in two of her concert tours.
==Background and composition==
In 1999, Spears began work on her second studio album ''Oops!... I Did It Again'' (2000), in Sweden and Switzerland.

Upon returning to the United States, the singer revealed in an interview with MTV News that: "I just got back from Sweden, and did half () the material (''Oops!'' ) over there. I was really, really happy with the material, but we had () limited time to get so much done. So I've just really been in the studio nonstop, which is cool, though."〔 Spears recorded her vocals for the song, the first week of November 1999 at Cheiron Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.〔 "Lucky" was released on August 8, 2000 as the second single from the album.
