Synopsis!
Genie in a Bottle" is the first single and signature song from Christina Aguilera's debut album, Christina Aguilera. As her first major single, the song is generally considered her debut single (although technically she had released two songs prior to this). Released in mid-1999, the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, becoming Aguilera's first number-one single. The single also peaked at number one in the UK, also becoming her first number one single in that country. The single is generally considered to be one of her signature songs. The single earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2000; it also helped her win the Best New Artist Grammy that same year. "Genie in a Bottle" hit #1 in 18 countries around the world.

"Genie in a Bottle" was written by New Zealander, David Frank, Steve Kipner, and Pamela Sheyne and was produced by Frank and Kipner. The song's songwriting aspect has raised a minor scandal as apparently Aguilera co-wrote the song's B-section. Unfortunately, at the time Aguilera was unfamiliar with the legal aspect of songwriting, and did not submit a songwriting claim.

In her sexually driven debut single, Aguilera begins the song as a sexually repressed young woman stating that she feels like she's been "locked up tight for a century of lonely nights", and that she is waiting for someone to release her. She then sees a young man who sexually arouses her, making her exclaim, "My body's saying let's go". However, even though her hormones are "racing at the speed of light", she realizes "my heart is saying no". Nevertheless, Aguilera offers herself to the man by stating, "If you wanna be with me, baby there's a price to pay, I'm a genie in a bottle, You gotta rub me the right way".

The song's lyrics caused minor controversy at the time, as it was felt by some that Aguilera was too young to be singing such relatively suggestive lyrics, particularly as her music was marketed to young girls. The song was censored in some markets with tamer lyrics, in which Aguilera sings "you gotta treat me the right way" (instead of "you gotta rub me the right way"). The censored version was played in preteen-oriented markets such as Radio Disney.


.....Lyrics.....

(Come on, come on yeah!) ~ 2X Oh...
I feel like I've been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone, to release me
You're licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby (baby, baby, baby) ~Fade

Oh whoa...
My body's saying let's go
Oh whoa...
But my heart is saying no, no

If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Gotta rub me the right way, honey
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out

The music's playing and the lights' down low
Just one more dance and then we're good to go
Waiting for someone, who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby (Baby, baby, baby) ~Fade

Oh whoa...
My body's saying let's go
Oh whoa...
But my heart is saying no, no

If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free, baby, and I'll be with you

(I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Gotta rub me the right way, honey
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out) ~2X

Oh whoa...
My body's saying let's go
Oh whoa...
But my heart is saying no, no

If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do

If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free, baby, and I'll be with you

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out.....End
