The song was written with the American singer Janet Jackson in mind,[4] but was initially offered to the Australian singer Kylie Minogue, who turned it down.[5] Minogue said she "listened to a snippet of it in the record-company offices and decided against it". She said she was not angry when it became a hit for Spears: "It's like the fish that got away. You just have to accept it."[6]

"Toxic" is a classic dance-pop and techno-pop song, featuring elements of South Asian music.[10][11][12][13] It features varied instrumentation, such as drums, synthesizers, violins, and high-pitched strings.[14][15] It also contains surf guitar, that according to Caryn Ganz of Spin, "warps and struts like it's been fed into The Matrix." The music was also compared to the soundtracks of the James Bond film series.[14] The hook of "Toxic" samples a portion of "Tere Mere Beech Mein", from the soundtrack of the 1981 Bollywood film Ek Duuje Ke Liye.[16] However, it is not lifted verbatim from the score and mixes two different sections of the piece for the introduction section; later in the song, the cut-up sample is dropped in favor of a re-recorded string arrangement to improve the quality of the melody as evidenced by the multitrack recordings available on the internet.[17] Spears' vocals on the song are breathy.[15] Some of the refrains were inspired by pieces of classical music, such as "Flight of the Bumblebee", "Eine kleine Nachtmusik", and "Dumky Trio".[citation needed] NME described the song as presenting "piercing strings, hip-hop beats, eastern flavour and a dangerous escapade with temptation."[18]

It won Best Single at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards.[35] Pitchfork named "Toxic" the third-best single of 2004, writing tha "finally, [Spears] just acted like an adult, rather than constantly reminding us she wasn't a girl anymore".[36]

In December 2003, it was announced by MTV News that after trying to choose between "(I Got That) Boom Boom" and "Outrageous" to be the second single from In the Zone, Spears had selected "Toxic" instead.[37] She described it as "an upbeat song.
