WaterDiamonds Posted July 22 Posted July 22 (edited) Britney's always been a muse for songwriters since her debut, and considering landing a song on one of her albums gave you not only a big paycheck, but also a sweet spot in the music business, it's no wonder why she had the entire industry at her feet at some point. Sadly, you can't always catch the big fish, so many of the songs originally meant for her weren't used, and ended up being released by other singers instead. In this thread I'll compilate all of those tracks. Feel free to give me a heads up if I forget anything! Also, I'll only be adding Released songs that are Rejects, not Reference Tracks, and most all of them are confirmed, rumored ones will be tagged as such. Enjoy! Baby... One More Time Era I'll Be There For You: Recorded with Eric Foster White during March of 1998, but didn't make the cut, and was released by Aina Quach 12 years later for her 2010 album "What I Want". Love Is On: Recorded with Eric Foster White during the same sessions as Autumn Goodbye in April of 1998, also didn't make the cut and was given to the Filipino star Sharon Cuneta for her 2001 album, "All I Ever Want".

He Loves You Not: Produced by David Frank and Steve Kipner, given to the girl band Dream right before Britney had the chance to record it. Is it Love?

Released in 2004 as the lead single of her debut album with the same title. Grafitti My Soul: Written and produced by Xenomania, recorded in 2002, but Jive Record, didn't like the song because of it's atypical song structure and for lacking a proper chorus, so it was dropped.

See My Side: Written by Robin Carlsson, Klas Ahlund and Bloodshy & Avant.

Must Be A Reason Why...: Originally titled "King Of My Castle", the song was produced by Lucas Secon and intended to be on The Singles Collection with a feature by a female rapper, but Britney's version was left unfinished, time after the track was then picked up by Shayne Ward but he didn't get permission to use Britney's vocals on it, so she was replaced by J. Pearl. Pulse: Not the same song as In The Zone's Pulse!!! Produced by Fraser T. Smith and written by Shelly Peiken and Kasia Livingston, who sings the reference track. Written for Britney but rejected and instead released by Mandy Capristo as a Bonus track from her 2012 debut album, "Grace". S&M: Produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee and written by Ester Dean, the track was on hold for both Britney and Rihanna, but Rihanna was faster and secured the song for her fifth album "Loud", released in 2010.

Sayonara (Rumored): Produced by Greg Kurstin and written by Coco Morier along with Bonnie McKee, who also sings the reference track. Despite Bonnie saying the track wasn't for Britney, it was created at her writing camp in 2010 the same day as "How I Roll", which probably means she just had a lapsus. Released by Miranda Cosgrove on the Japanese edition of "Sparks Fly", issued in 2011. Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You) (Rumored): Produced by DJ Frank E, written by Lauren Christy, Justin Franks and Jacob Luttrell, who sings the reference track. Myah Marie said Britney recorded this song and it was meant to be her single at some point, but one of the songwriters of the track, Lauren Christy said she wasn't aware of Britney recording it, but that at some point David Guetta wanted to hop on the track with Akon and Lady Gaga, which only adds to the confusion. Released by Enrique Iglesias as a single of his 2010 album "Euphoria". Wet (Rumored): Produced by Stargate and written by Ester Dean, who presumably sings the demo. A Britney Spears related podcast said this track was first offered to Britney but she rejected it, but due to their dubious reputation, this should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Released by the K-Pop band Rania on their 2017 EP "Refresh 7th" both in English and Korean. Hey Ma: Originally meant as a collaboration between Pitbull, Romeo Santos and Britney, but the track was picked up by Fast and Furious for their soundtrack and they decided to change up the singers so it was better suited for the vibes they were going for.

Released by Kylie Minogue as the lead single off her lastest album "Tension". Secret (Shh): Produced by SOPHIE and Jodie Harsh. Karen Kwak, Britney's A&R during the Glory recording process, wanted this track for her, but she couldn't get it and Charli XCX released it as a part of her 2016 E.P "Vroom Vroom" instead. Sucker For Pain: Produced by Alex Da Kid and most likely recorded during july of 2015.

W FACE: Produced by Andrew Goldstein, written by Jesse Saint John and Lola Blanc, who sings the reference track. The song was originally titled "SLAY" and was made for Britney but it got rejected. Released by J-Pop singer Kumi Koda for her album "W Face - Outside" in 2017. When I Rule The World: Produced by SOPHIE. Britney really wanted to record this track in 2015 for an early version of Glory, but LIZ didn't let her get her hands on the track and released it herself the same year. Get Low (Rumored): Produced by Zedd, supposedly meant to be a collaboration between the producer and Britney, but things fell through. Britney's version of the track was in circulation at some point. Released with the former One Direction member Liam Payne featured on it in 2017. Peek A Boo (Rumored): Produced by the duo Moonshine, a demo in english that could've been pitched to Britney is partially available online. The original source talking about this song being for Britney was a fake BreatheHeavy insider who claimed it was pitched to her for Glory, but the writers of the track never mentioned sending the song to Britney, which only it makes this more unlikely to be real. Only adding this song to the list because the snippet tagged by King Bob sounds legit; a 1 minute Bounce is also circulating online but it's clearly made with Artificial Intelligence and doesn't even share the same lyrics as the King Bob snippet. Released by the K-Pop group Red Velvet for their 2017 album "Perfect Velvet" in 2017. The Middle (Rumored): Another unsuccessful attempt of a collaboration with Zedd, Britney allegedly recorded a version of this song in 2016 but it was never released. The track ended up being released with Maren Morris as it's vocalist in 2017 after going through many singers' hands, including the likes of Camila Cabello and Charli XCX. Trophy (Rumored): Produced by SOPHIE. A reliable source said that a Demo of the track was sent to Britney during the Glory recording sessions but it was rejected.

There's more songs that's I could've added but they also aren't confirmed and I find them highly unlikely to be really sent to Britney anyway. And thank YOU for reading
Buffy Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Some of those songs seem to be out of her vocal range. Not even Myah Marie can come to the rescue (Beautiful/Christina and Better In Time/Leona) unless the arrangement was totally changed to fit her voice.
TouchinFree Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Out of all these, Padam Padam ( although I'm not too crazy about the song itself) would have sounded perfect with Britney's voice. Would like to hear a mixed version of Umbrella if that even exists even though I think it was meant and made for Rihanna. Also shocked at " The middle".
ShadeIena Posted July 22 Posted July 22 I didn't know about Middle of Nowhere omg. I think it's missing from Glory that song that ended up being on Kpop, a Britney snippet leaked a couple of weeks ago but I can't remember it/find it 1

Tbh that could've been one of they reasons why they weren't recorded/ or released (in case of Better In Time). I think 2006 Britney maybe could've pulled off Better In Time because she was in a sort of vocal prime at the time, she has some impressive adlibs in both Everybody and Just Let Me Go but I'm sort of delusional so idk.
poki Posted July 22 Posted July 22 This is so cool! Thank you for this I see some jabs towards Dua and Christina

I think it's missing from Glory that song that ended up being on Kpop, a Britney snippet leaked a couple of weeks ago but I can't remember it/find it Ooh Peek A Boo, the King Bob snippet could be real, but there's a one minute bounce that is being passed around that is made with A.I, let me add it to the unconfirmed section.

poki Posted July 22 Posted July 22 22 minutes ago, TouchinFree said: Out of all these, Padam Padam ( although I'm not too crazy about the song itself) would have sounded perfect with Britney's voice. Would like to hear a mixed version of Umbrella if that even exists even though I think it was meant and made for Rihanna. Also shocked at " The middle". Over the years I've heard claims that Britney's version exists and doesn't have the "ella ella eh eh" section. That's like the most catchy part of the track so I could see why Britney's label rejected it if it really didn't have it at the time.
SimpleKindofLife Posted July 22 Posted July 22 The research is excellent clearly she won't have a problem finding producers/writers if she ever decides to do music again 1
illia Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Love threads like these. First Rihanna, then Selena, now Britney Thank you 1

I can see 1998 Britney potentially pulling off Better In Time. She had big pipes back then before they forced her to do the baby voice. But that's the only era I can see her doing a song like this. Her vocals changed too much for the worse since then. 1
BlueBlue Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Padam Padam is a perfect song for Britney. I hope she finds passion for music again one day 1
NI-CK Posted July 22 Posted July 22 thanks for all the work! interesting too see how many songs were given to Asian artists, even like 20 years ago. I totally get why many songs were rejected but damn there are some real losses. Look Who's Talking Now would have been such a kii and perfectly matches Britney. Big Spender, Down Boy & Download Me could have been cute b-sides to Circus (even though they sound more like Blackout). State of Grace remains one of her best unreleased songs. 1

Tbh I was shocked while doing all the research too! it just goes to show how global Britney is. Some friends who are into K-Pop and J-Pop often tell me how she basically set the bases for how the idols should be like, so it's no wonder why her sound became trendy in Korea and Japan during the late 2000s. Also, according to Google, she's HUGE in China, being one of the biggest western celebrities there along with Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne, which explains why local stars like Genie Chuo also had interest in replicating her sound, crazy, huh?
Exodus Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Definitely could have heard J Simp's "Final Heartbreak" and BoA's "Look Who's Talking." I'm shocked about Rachel Stevens' "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex." It ended up with the right singer.
