Haha no, it's a small artist and Beyoncé did not record it. What I will say is that she has at least once placement on Renaissance. Happy hunting!

Awesome!!!! I've actually been sitting on another Renaissance era song that Beyonce's team requested and the artist kept it for herself. We also already have an ACT III reject that's released by a previous songwriter discussed here (yes, it's rock!). I've been waiting for ACT III to drop so I can post about them trilogy style, but for now I'm keeping them on stealth mode for now until someone else finds the info

"Ego" was originally recorded by Jamie Foxx, and the unreleased "I'm Alone Now" was originally demoed by CeeLo Green for Whitney Houston: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZIPqh5gIzH/?igsi=NjZxdjVjNHdzZDJq Ceelo Green Sings Demo of Unreleased Song Intended For Whitney Houston (Circa 2007) - Straight From The A [SFTA] – Atlanta Entertainment Industry Gossip & News

It looks like "Born To Love You" leaked at some point on the internet under Unknown: Danja Blog: Danja Discography There's a bit of hope there, the fact that it's been online and someone's heard it. Same with "Erotic." Hopefully they don't stay lost forever I've also been doing a lot of digging into Anesha Birchett's 2005/6 Darkchild demos. There's the ones A Common Channel posted from her shelved album sessions, but I found a lot more too. Some went to Megan Rochell, Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, a male artist or two... I'm thinking at least one could be from the B'Day sessions, but I'll figure that out the more I dive

Any registration with Victoria Riddick, Treshon Jenkinz, and Falon King (probably more names) is fake unfortunately haha. Sometimes there's real songs registered with one of them registered as a songwriter, but that just means the credits are unreliable. But yeah, all of those titles are fake

Not yet, but I have an idea of someone who might. They're just a little hard to come by I haven't found it, but I have an idea who might have it. I'll try reaching out to them at some point

Did I ever mention a title from the B'Day era that she mentioned in 2006, "Play Me Your Love"? I remember the transcript being on a blog and I remember it was in NYC (I believe she lived there at the time): "All the songs on this album have real energy because it's coming out in the summer and is mostly up-tempo. "One of the most fantastic tracks is called Play Me Your Love. It's high energy but very soulful." EDIT: Found it here Caught On Camera

I was going to save this info for when I started posting for Beyonce's self-titled era, but since David Guetta said that it was originally for Rihanna, I also wanted to share that in this article, Ester Dean said that it actually started out in a Beyonce writing session in the Hamptons: 'Songland' Stars Have a Message: 'Creativity Wins' During Coronavirus It was probably a Wrecking Ball situation where it was written during a session for one artist, but by the time the song was fully conceived, it was considered for a different artist instead.

This track by Yummy Bingham was also submitted to B'Day but rejected. It was being sold on the Motown Records website before Yummy's debut album released. "Originally for Beyonce but rejected ( Big, Big Mistake Mlle. Knowles ), Ms Bingham wrote this with Rockwilder. Her debut solo album The First Seed is expected for a 2006 release. This single Will be as big as in '06 as Amerie was in '05, believe!!" These 2 The Clutch x Rich Harrison tracks have also been on my radar since they fit the bill for B'Day + were made around that time, but no solid confirmation yet. "Here I Am" was recorded by Erica Rivera and Natasha Thomas (hasn't leaked), and Little Bit was recorded by Erica Rivera (hasn't leaked)

I probably misread the source at the time, I'm not sure if it was ever considered as a single. But it was definitely replaced by Deja Vu, which ended up being the lead single

Finally posted an extended snippet of "I Can't Go On". I'm gonna see if I can possibly buy the full demo from the source! I also want to share this track that is most likely from the B'Day sessions judging from the credits (Rodney "Darkchild Jerkins, Delisha Thomas, LaShawn Daniels, D'Mile, Anesha Birchett) Linda Kiraly - Can't Let Go

Exactly!

I feel like waking up some discussion here, so I wanted to share this that I found today. I was going into Solange's unreleased discography, and this track is actually a Beyoncé demo from around 2007, but no one has seemed to catch on for all these years The first verse begins with "I'm Bey by day, but by the time the sun goes down..." Solange- Electric Blue - YouTube

"Not The Only One" by Amerie confirmed to be originally for Beyonce somewhere in this podcast (I don't have a timestamp, but someone brought it to my attention):

According to the lyrics, the song seems to be a fun track dedicated to Barbados Livvi and Rihanna are both Bajan, but Rihanna specifically has a special connection to one of the places that Livvi puts emphasis on. 1988–2002: Early life Rihanna's parents' house in Bridgetown, just a few meters from the city's harbor Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, on February 20, 1988.[4][5] She is the daughter of Monica (née Braithwaite), an Afro-Guyanese accountant,[6] and Ronald Fenty, a Barbadian warehouse supervisor of African, Irish, English, and Scottish descent.[7][8][9] Rihanna has two younger brothers, Rorrey and Rajad Fenty, as well as two half-sisters and a half-brother from her father's previous relationships.[10][11] She was raised in a three-bedroom bungalow in Bridgetown and helped her father sell clothes at a street stall.[12][13] Her childhood was affected by her father's alcoholism and crack cocaine addiction, which strained her parents' marriage.[14][15][16] Rihanna has spoken about witnessing her father physically abuse her mother, describing her as "one of the strongest women I know, if not the strongest".[17][10] In Verse 2, Livvi says: It doesn't matter where you from in town [?], Briggs, or Bridgetown (Bridgetown)
