"Oops (Oh My)" was a commercial success in the United States, peaking at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Additionally, it reached number five on the UK Singles Chart. English electropop band Ladytron covered the song on their 2003 compilation album Softcore Jukebox.[1]


Writing and composition


"Oops (Oh My)" is an R&B song featuring a techno-reggae rhythm,[2][3] built on a Casio-bass clarinet loop.[4] Although the song is widely considered to be about masturbation,[3][5][6][7] Tweet explained that "[p]eople can take their definition of what any song means to them, but for me, the song wasn't about masturbation—it was about self-love." She said she was inspired to write the song after watching an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show where a doctor advised people to look at themselves in the mirror naked in order to build self-acceptance. She added that it was "empowering" for her to write the song as she "felt like [she] didn't love [herself]" due to her skin color.[8]
