Background
"Genie in a Bottle" is a song by the American singer Christina Aguilera from her self-titled debut album (1999). Pam Sheyne, Steve Kipner, and David Frank wrote the track; the latter two produced it. RCA Records released "Genie in a Bottle" as the album's lead single on May 11, 1999. A soul-pop, teen pop, and dance-pop song with elements of R&B, "Genie in a Bottle" uses sexual references to address themes of self-respect and abstinence: Aguilera's narration affirms to a love interest that to be with her, they have to know the right way to please her.
