ShadeIena Posted July 20 Posted July 20 (edited) Selena Gomez is/was a machine of making hits but she rejected a couple of songs that ended up being hits or at least modest fan favorites. These songs are based on the receipts of public music repertoire sites and songs in circulation on the l-word market. There might be some other missing tracks that are not publicly known, some demos already leaked. I am not including reference demos to her. Also let me know if I forgot any other additions! Pre debut era: Hurry Up and Save Me - Released by Tiffany Giardina due to Selena having too many songs on the soundtrack (Selena's still on the BGVS) Kiss & Tell era: Female Intuition - Jordyn Taylor (Rejected for the lyrics being too mature) A Year Without Rain era: Red Light - Malese Jow (Selena's demo remains unleaked) Fefe Dubson - Stuttering (Also rejected by Miley Cyrus): When The Sun Goes Down : Give Your Heart A Break - Demi Lovato (Selena's demo remains unleaked) ref Jaden Michaels Celeste Buckinham - Crushin' my fairytale Stars Dance: Miss Movin' On - Fifth Harmony (Ref Julia Michaels) Big Banana - R3hab , Havana Brown & Prophet For You - Greatest Hits: Tini - Great Escape - Rejected for scrapping the whole album that was supposed to have this song that later turned into a greatest hits album to fulfill her contract. Selena's demo leaked in 2020 Bang - Recorded by Britney Spears for Glory. The song was produced by RockMafia and nobody ended up releasing it. Britney's demo leaked in 2021 Revival: Aston Merrygold - Get Stupid - Rejected probably because it did not fit the sound of the album Haim - Walking Away Love is A Game (Reworked as Love Is The Name) - Released later by Sofia Carson with the new rework. Ref Bonnie Mckee Stars by Demi Lovato Roll Em Up - Alli Simpson ft Jack Jack - Originally was a collaboration with Cody Simpson (Both cowrote the song) and Alli loved the song so much that asked them for give her the song. It was almost a single, thankfully it didn't cuz the lyrics are kinda cringy. (Selena and Cody are still doing BGVS on the chorus) Major Lazer, Dj Snake & MØ - Lean On Probably one of her biggest scraps. It was scrapped due to Selena still working on Revival and wanting to go radio silent for the released of Good For You. Thankfully Sel and Dj Snake continued to work together. Diplo ended up shading her for not releasing this song and other two he worked with her for Revival. Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do Addison Rae - Obsessed Droplet era , Scrapped SG2 and Rare: Jax Jones & Ella Henderson - This Is Real. Selena's team rejected the song because they thought Jax Jones was too unknown for her. Selena's version leaked fully in 2021. He tried three times to release this song and ended up shading Selena because she refused. Britney Spears & Tinashe - Slumber Party, not really a reject but Britney was heavily inspired of Revival and was sharing a lot of creative team for Selena. Selena was the first option to join on this song before T but since she ended up going to rehab she never recorded the song The Chainsmokers - Paris : The duo wanted Sel to hop on this song. Apparently she never recorded it. They later collaborated on an unreleased version of Back To You OneRepublic - No Vacancy Anitta - Goals: Part of her sessions with Pharrell - Selena's demo leaked in 2021 Lauv & Troye Sivan - I'm So Tired (snippets of her version are around) Bahari - For What Is Worth Anitta - Veneno : Another reject that was picked up by the Brazilian artist. Selena's version was on circulation around 2019-2021 Julia Michaels - Issues: Originally for the 2016 sessions of the album, Selena encouraged Julia to release this and start a solo career. Little Mix - Sweet Melody: The producer said Selena was not looking for this sound for the album YUNGBLUD - Falling Skies ft. Charlotte Lawrence : Part of the 13 Reasons Why Soundtrack that Selena executive producer. Probably scrapped due to her having too many songs in. Selena's version was featuring One Republic / Yungblud. There still some Selena Adlibs on the BGVS Seven Minutes - Maria Parrado Claudia Valetina - 4:15 DJ Snake & Justin Bieber - Let Me Love (Originally was meant to be a Selena's solo version with different lyrics but her label wanted a Justin duet version, she ended up stepping down of the song) A few snippets leaked from her solo version. And yes, she did finish the song. DJ Snake said she didn't so people could stop asking about it. There still some mixed Selena BGVS. Clean Bandit , Demi Lovato - Solo : Selena's version contained Cheat Codes as well Thomas Rett - Renegades (Selena's feature on this song was removed) Revelación: Coco - Elena Rose : Selena talked about this song but it ended up being scrapped SG3: Julia Michaels - Lie Like This NOTD , Kensie - Worst Thing , there are some Selena and Julia BGVS . Normani - Take My Time Perrie - Tears , Selena's version snippets are around, it's a different instrumental Edited July 21 by ShadeIena 6 2
KillingYourCareer Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Wow! Those songs would all be much rarer had Selena recorded them 2
PillowCase Posted July 20 Posted July 20 If she released 4:15 it would have been at least a modest success. All it was missing was a star to make it happen. 1

All it was missing was a star to make it happen. TBH the only songs I wish she kept are Lean On , Let Me Love You , Slumber Party and Paris, the rest are kinda forgettable or the singers that got them were good. Edited July 20 by ShadeIena

Tbh I didn't know the song before I saw that interview where she reveals it was meant for Selena's 2017-18 scrapped album. It sounds really cool
Minto Posted July 20 Posted July 20 not one source for selena recording give your heart a break 1 1 1

Pavement Princess Posted July 20 Posted July 20 That long ass scroll waiting for a semi interesting song. I guess this is what I should have expected for songs pitched to SG. Issues was cute. 2

The deleted tweet was asking about Lean On and other scrapped songs she did with him, DJ Snake also mentioned it on a French radio interview that I can look up 2

WaterDiamonds Posted July 20 Posted July 20 41 minutes ago, Post Malone said: We want sources Many of these are confirmed by the artist/songwriter themselves or because we have snippets of Selena's versions so tbh I don't doubt anything about the thread 1
WaterDiamonds Posted July 20 Posted July 20 The way everybody and their mammas has songs rejected by Selena or written for her in mind, yet bitter hags on ATRL will try to convince you she has no impact in the music industry whatsoever 3
