What is an NFC tag?
An NFC tag is a small, programable chip; they are often part of a sticker that is placed somewhere. Most modern phones support NFC. When NFC is enabled on your phone, you simply tap your phone to the chip and the chip will perform the function it's programmed to do – in this case, it will send you a notification that links you to the song on Spotify.
Please note, if you don't have NFC enabled on your phone, this action will not work, but you will still have a super cool looking keychain, and since you bought this keychain, you probably have other ways of listening to the song ;)
About "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera
"Genie in a Bottle" was released in June 1999 as Christina Aguilera's debut single, written by Steve Kipner, David Frank, and Pam Sheyne. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its first week — one of the strongest debut single performances in years — and stayed there for three weeks. Aguilera was 18 years old. The song's production blended teen pop with light R&B influences in a way that would define a certain strand of late-90s radio, and the music video's visual language (belly chains, low-rise jeans, a slightly mystical desert setting) became a mood board for the era. Aguilera would go on to show a dramatically different artistic range with her second album Stripped in 2002, but "Genie in a Bottle" remains the song most immediately identified with the beginning of her career — and with a very specific feeling of summer 1999.
