Song information
"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. Psychological repression, or simply repression, is the psychological act of excluding desires and Impulses (wishes Fantasies or feelings 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. Preadolescence is a stage of human development through Childhood that occurs in a child's years before Adolescence. Radio Disney is a radio network based in Dallas Texas in the United States broadcasting music and other content targeted at Children and young
The song has been covered by Sara Bareilles, The Dan Band, Speedway, Thrice, Ten Masked Men and Evil Adam and has made an appearance on Konami's Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2. Sara Beth Bareilles (bəˈrɛlɪs born December 7 1979 is an American Singer-songwriter and Pianist. The Dan Band is a band from Los Angeles California, created by actor/comedian Dan Finnerty.

The group was founded in 1998 by guitarist/vocalist Dustin Kensrue and guitarist Teppei Teranishi while Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 is the tenth home version of Dance Dance Revolution to be released in the United States.
Parodist 'Hawaiian Ryan' also recorded a spoof of the song, called "Weenie In A Bottle", one of the tracks from his Saving Ryan's Privates album. This parody is often incorrectly attributed to "Weird Al" Yankovic. A parody (ˈpɛɹədiː US, [ˈpaɹədiː] UK) in contemporary usage is a work created to mock comment on or poke fun at an original work its subject Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (ˈjæŋkəvɪk born October 23 1959 is a Grammy Award winning American singer Musician, actor satirist
According to Christina's early songwriters who appeared on the documentary series Driven, Christina was not convinced that the track would highlight her voice. Her songwriter claimed that there was a "battle" between Christina and her producers because Christina wanted to display the power and audacity in her voice, whereas her producers would hold her back. In order to enable Christina's voice to be the central focus, she performed acoustic sets and appeared on television shows accompanied only by a piano.
In Aguilera's 2006 album, Back to Basics, a track dedicated to her fans titled "Thank You (Dedication to Fans. Back to Basics is the third full-length English Studio album by American pop / R&B singer Christina Aguilera . . )" used samples of Genie in a Bottle. Extracts used such as "I feel like I been locked up", "My body's saying let's go", "oh, oh, oh", "Come on, Come on" and "Baby, Baby, Baby". Aguilera refers to the lock up mentioned in the beginning of the song to her being a prisoner of her dreams.
