care to name a better one? hmm

[makeme]

Yes its a perfectly written pop song.

[rickycabello123]

he luv to drop them hot teas!!! you are amazing writer too, the A team among the best debut songs ever

[Frappucino]

I'm glad to agree with him and anxiously waiting for the day he writes a song as half as good as this one

[shyboi]

Toxic is basically the best pop song ever and one of the best of all time overall

 

BOMT not so far behind, Britney's discography is easily the most influential this century, she shifted the music landscape 

[DawnAnti]

No but some of you aint ready for this conversation 

[dirrtydiana]

It's top 2 and it ain't #2 so yes he lied 

 

also Britney has much better songs tbh (imo oops, s4u, crazy, gimme more>>>)

[Soda Pop Queen]

I mean, sure.... in Max Martin's catalog and I'm saying that with all seriousness. Martin's songwriting (particularly his melodies and arrangements) peaked in the 90s.

Toxic / Lucky >>> 

[mike_int]

Personally I wouldn't put it in best 2-3 song ever written but it became a blueprint for pop songs for many years, that is indisputable fac

 

Maybe based on success or the fact it takes you in right after first second with the piano sample, yes its a great manufactured song.

He is entitled to his own opinion

In terms of song quality? Absolutely not. The best songs probably haven't even been heard. I think it was Lauren Christy of The Matrix fame who said she has drawers full of songs containing the most wonderful poetic material that no one gave a **** about. Even in terms of mainstream songs, you have so many songs that are way more respected and seen as the actual greatest songs; those like Purple Rain, My Heart Will Go On, Thriller, Bohemian Rhapsody, I Will Always Love You etc.  

 

However, in terms of crafting the perfect single to launch a massive pop career? Yeah. Ed is notorious for seeing things through a chart-based lens and in this sense he's probably very correct. This truly was THEE debut single in terms of building this teen pop girl image that has been replicated and referenced so many times. Possibly number-one on that front.

I get where he is coming from

 

it's odd because all of the guitar-singing acts like him, Taylor Swift, Lewis Capaldi, Harry Styles - have all shown huge love to Britney's early catalogue 
(when some others usually concentrate on S4U, Toxic, Gimmie More etc.)

 

And her earlier stuff really was what 1989/TD is now for us (with input by the same person)

so Classic Pop Candy no doubt

It's a basic pop song. It's great not gonna lie but it's not a top 3 well written song
