The song was written by Swedish songwriters Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. Their inspiration for the song was a girl going through a breakup who is begging for her ex-boyfriend to call her back. But the Swedish duo mistakenly thought that "hit" was American slang for "call"—leading to the title line "Hit Me Baby, One More Time."
