==Background and development==

Prior to becoming t.A.T.u. Yulia and Lena had auditioned as members of Neposedy, a group produced by Ivan Shapolavov and his business partner Alexander Voitinskyi. Shapolavov has said the two girls stood out from the rest of the those that auditioned; however, 14-year old Katina was initially the only one chosen for the band. She sang "[[It Must Have Been Love]]" by Swedish pop duo [[Roxette (band)|Roxette]] and later recorded a demo release of "Yugoslavia" for the "[[1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia]]".<ref>[http://www.ok-magazine.ru/exclusive/item16832.php "t.A.T.u.: "Мы и сейчас иногда целуемся!""] Ok-magazine.ru. Retrieved 3 August 2011.</ref> When both Lena and Julia were casted for the group (under the name 'Taty'), the began to record their first record. Then, in 1999 the group released "[[200 Po Vstrechnoy]]", which became successful in Poland and Russia. While the album was in development, their producer Alexander Voitinskyi left the production, leaving the album unreleased. However, Shapolavov later signed [[Elena Kiper]] as the new co-producer and co-writer for the album.

With the success, Shapovalov decided to sign the group to [[Interscope Records|Interscope]] and its parent [[Universal Music Group]] at the headquarters in Russia. After this, the group decided to called themselves "Tatu". However, an Australian rock band also produced under the name, thus the band later used upper and lower cased letters to distance themselves from the other musicians. t.A.T.u. released their first Russian album under the name "Тату", which is short phrase for Та любит Ту (Ta lyubit Tu)", meaning "this girl loves that girl".

The group started recording the album in Trevor Horn's home studio in [[London]], [[England]] and having some recording sessions in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]]. When the group were signed and ready for recording, both Yulia and Lena felt it was easy to understand [[English language]].<ref name="muu"/> Julia stated that Martin helped her with punctuation, while Lena was speaking English before production off the album.<ref name="muu">[http://www.muumuse.com/2012/11/10-years-in-the-wrong-lane-an-interview-with-t-a-t-u.html/#more-34102 10 YEARS IN THE WRONG LANE: AN INTERVIEW WITH T.A.T.U.]</ref>

| quote = It was great [...] I think he was involved in some translations because we wanted to keep the meaning of the songs, and to keep the structure specifics. I think that Martin is a little bit of a fan of t.A.T.u, so he was really trying hard to make us big everywhere! We had an opportunity to work with great producer, it was valuable experience. I am talking about Trevor Horn. And in general, just imagine: Two girls are coming from Russia, which is another world compared to the USA, working with a high class producers and writers and management. Everybody is so professional. Working with Martin and Interscope in general brought us to an absolutely different level.

[[File:Sergio Galoyan 3.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Sergio Galoyan (pictured) was one of the main producers of the album.]]

According to [[Allmusic]], [[t.A.T.u.]] have been known for "eurodance, europop, electronica and pop rock" music through their career.

According to [[Discogs]], the album is influenced by musical genres of electronic, pop, rock, europop, [[pop rock]] and [[Pop ballad|balladry]].<ref>http://www.discogs.com/tATu-200-KmH-In-The-Wrong-Lane/master/92889</ref>

===Music and lyrical content===

"Not Gonna Get Us" is a [[eurodance]]-inspired song.<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/album/release/200-km-h-in-the-wrong-lane-argentina-bonus-track-enhanced-mr0001188798 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane [Argentina Bonus Track] [Enhanced] www.allmusic.com.</ref> According to [[Allmusic]], the song has music influences off [[pop music|pop]], [[dance-pop]], [[eurodance]] and [[rock music]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/not-gonna-get-us-mw0000546484 |title=Not Gonna Get Us - t.A.T.u. : Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |publisher=AllMusic |date=2003-03-18 |accessdate=2012-11-07}}</ref> The song "Opens with a throbbing electro beat which then builds to the shrill chorus."<ref name="dusk411">{{cite web|author=Traveling To The Heart |url=http://dusk411.joeuser.com/article/65811 |title=Traveling To The Heart » Music Review: t.A.Tu. "Not Gonna Get Us" |publisher=Dusk411.joeuser.com |date= |accessdate=2012-11-07}}</ref> "[[All the Things She Said]]" was the first single released, but the second track on the album. The song opens with dreamy, [[Trance music|trance]]-gated [[synthesizers]] and then shifts into a guitar-based [[pop rock]] style with Trevor Horn's trademark huge drum sound, but also lightens up to include softer [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] sounds in the middle eight.<ref>[http://blogcritics.org/music/article/single-review-tatu-all-the-things/ Dreamy Synthersizers] Single Reviews on Blogcritics Music</ref> The third single "Show Me Love" was released in [[Poland]]. The song was described as "neutral"<ref name="popmatters"/> "[[30 Minutes]]" was later released from the album as the fourth single. The song has been described as an "slow atmospheric ballad."<ref name="popmatters"/> It was also described as "a wonderfully mellow song nonetheless."<ref name="sputnikmusic"/>

"[[How Soon Is Now?]]" was the band's last single released from this album and was also the fifth track on the album. It is a cover version of [[The Smiths]] single [[How Soon Is Now?|with the same title]]. The song "is transformed by scorched synths, furious power-chords and Lena or Julia’s defiant roar “You Shut Your Mouth”, into an angry punka blast."<ref name="drowned"/> "Clowns (Can You See Me Now?)" was the sixth track on the album. The song was written by Trevor Horn, Ivan Shapolavov and Valeriy Polienko. People had noticed that unusual style in the lyrics<ref name="sputnikmusic"/> It was also scheduled to be the last single, but this plan was scrapped. However, for a promotional release, ''200km/h in the Wrong Lane'' was re-issued in their native Russia under the name ''t.A.T.u. – Clowns''. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/tATu-Clowns/release/1626608 |title=t.A.T.u. - Clowns (CD) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=2012-04-10}}</ref> It has a synthpop and electronica style.

"Malchik Gay" ([[Russian Language|translated]] to: Gay Boy) was the bands seventh track on the album. [[Allmusic]] had named it as an album highlight because the lyrics, which were written by their producers, had received a lot of attention. The theme of the song specializes with [[homosexuality]]. The song is an [[acoustic music|acoustic]] song, and has said the song shows "some genuine emotion in here that is well portrayed in the singing."<ref name="sputnikmusic"/> "Stars" was the eighth, and final original track on the album. The song "tries for smooth world-pop with an extended Russian rap, but doesn’t linger in anyone’s memory after it’s over."<ref name="popmatters"/> The remaining tracks on the album include the Russian versions of "All the Things She Said" and "Not Gonna Get Us", an extended version of "Show Me Love" and a remix of "30 Minutes." Some editions of the album also feature the song which t.A.T.u. sang at Eurovision in 2003, [[Ne Ver', Ne Boysia]], as well as a remix of Malchik Gay and a remix of "[[All the Things She Said]]".

''200&nbsp;km/h in the Wrong Lane'' received mixed reviews from critics. [[Entertainment.ie]] gave it a favorable review, awarding it three stars. They had said "A teenage lesbian duo from Russia may sound like a marketing man's fantasy rather than a living, breathing pop band." and finished saying "Tatu's novelty value won't, of course, last forever. But for now, they're as entertaining as anyone in mainstream chart music."<ref name="entertainment"/> James Martin from ''PopDirt'' was very positive by saying "But all this cynicism seems irrelevant when you actually sit down and listen to 200KM/H in the Wrong Lane." He carried on saying " On the contrary 200KM/H In the Wrong Lane is one of the most innovative and unique pop records in very recent history."<ref name="popdirt"/> ''[[Sputnikmusic]]'' was generally favorable. They stated "I know, I know, I know. Tatu are a stupid manufactured Russian Euro pop band with their only bit of originality [...] However I believe that this album could just be worth that second glance." They later finished "My verdict on this album is simply this: if you consider yourself open-minded in your music taste, check it out. You just might be surprised."<ref name="sputnikmusic"/>

Michael Osborn from ''[[MusicOMH]]'' was positive, saying "Short it may be, but TATU's initial English language offerings are fresh-sounding pop songs of such a high pedigree, that this is an album which will be played to death." They later talked about the girls being on top headlines about the controversy and he stated "Ignore all the headlines - this intriguing Russian act has the ability to hit all the right notes with their music alone, and have more than just one mammoth smash to offer."<ref name="musicomh"/> David Merryweather from ''[[Drowned in Sound]]'' called the album "the first pop masterpiece of the year" and encouraged people "Don’t pretend you don’t care."<ref name="drowned"/>

However, Stephen Thomas Erlewine from [[Allmusic]] rated the album two stars out of five, by stating "It makes no sense to discuss 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane, the first album by Russian dance-pop duo t.A.T.u., without focusing on the gimmick, since that gimmick is the band [...] Of course, gimmicks have always been central to pop music, including much of the greatest pop music, but few have felt as tawdry as t.A.T.u."<ref name="allmusic">Allmusic.

[[Allmusic]].</ref> He ended by saying "With those relentless, gloomy beats and those voices that cut against the grain, it's easy to concentrate on nothing but the gimmick, because it's more fun to talk about Russian teenage lesbians than listen to this noisy, oppressive murk."<ref name="allmusic"/>

Todd Burns from ''[[Stylus Magazine]]'' awarded the album with a D rating, and gave it a mixed review. He said "It’s obviously pop product and probably not worth the money to buy, but certainly essential pop listening if only for the already European released singles." However, he was positive towards the single releases, calling them "phenomenal confectionary pop constructions."<ref name="stylus"/>
