Britney Spears thanked her fans for two decades of support yesterday as her hit single "...Baby One More Time" turned 20-years-old.

"It’s hard to put into words what today means to me… 20 years ago, the world heard my music for the very first time!" Britney wrote on Instagram, along with behind-the-scenes footage from the music video. "So much has happened since then… but what I really want to say is thank you to my amazing fans who have been there for me since day 1. Your support over the years has meant the absolute world to me!! Love you all!"

In 1998, a then 16-year-old Britney hit the scene in her pigtails and now notable school girl outfit -- arguably changing the pop music era and catapulting her to the title of "Princess of Pop."

"...Baby One More Time" appeared on the singer's debut album of the same name and the song topped the charts in 19 countries, according to ABC Radio.
