Now this are the sorta tales we prefer would catch headlines with little fires everywhere. Ciara divulged that her classic jam, “Goodies,” released in 2004 was actually contemplated for the Princess Of Pop Britney Spears.
Ciara chit chatted during her “Level Up” radio show on Apple Music thee following:.
“So here’s a crazy story about this…when I had this record, I knew that it was a very, very special record. And I worked so hard on this record and this industry can sometimes bring you incredible challenges, hence why I love the power of having my own record label. Unbeknownst to me, it was myself and a lot of the other artists on the roster, we all went to Jive Records, because changes were happening at Arista Records,”
“And when we went to Jive, I had the song ‘Goodies.’ I had to re audition again, to be picked up and to be made a priority on the label. I did that, had a showcase, rocked it. Okay, boom, check. Had this record, but not knowing that behind the scenes, there was a conversation about this song being potentially taken from me and given to an artist like Britney Spears, who was on the same roster as me. I learned about the story later, but the crazy thing for me is that if I would’ve known about it then, I would have fought tooth and nail. It was because it’s a record that I actually was a part of creating. I was heavily involved in the writing side of it as well.”
Now this enthralling story we’ll filed under our own title, “Pop-Jeopardy”. A gem of an anecdote wth Ciara and the and only Britney!
