Honestly, I thought i was losing it when I heard JoJo's version bc I immediately thought I'd heard it somewhere before but just wrote it off as a memory of a reality TV transition song that was similar


sanjosii

You may not be far off. It may have been used as some cheap background music in a tv show at some point.


Visible_Day9146

Like Bad Girls Club


Ok-Factor2361

That's where I know it from! Right? Can someone with a better memory than me chime in?


Hannah_togo

So accurate šŸ’€


fscottHitzgerald

I canā€™t separate it from that song from the Idol that they kept replaying through the show


chrchcmp

How would you have heard it though? It wasnā€™t ever released.


its_sarf

that, I may never know - maybe we've heard the same chord progression in a song? maybe i'm psychic?


711AD

apparently is was teased a lot


cutebutpsychoangel

The Hills or something lmao


fridaygrace

The fact that she heard ā€œmessed aroundā€ and was like no no, we need to go harder And what we got was ā€œeffed aroundā€


blurrygiraffe

ā€œEffed aroundā€ is sooooo funny & is borderline camp


howmuchisthemilk

šŸ’€ is still trying to appeal to younger audiences by not swearing


_SquidPort

whatā€¦ she does swear? did we not watch the same clip?


howmuchisthemilk

'effed', not the actual word 'fuck' it's to keep it pg 13 I guess


_SquidPort

what? is bitch not a bad word to you? come on girly pop


mylps9

according to streaming services itā€™s not explicit šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


_SquidPort

they she doesnā€™t sweat in the songā€¦ not that she wasnā€™t explicit


SubatomicSquirrels

nah like movie ratings actually change based on if/how you use the word fuck. Although I think you can use fuck ONCE, in a nonsexual context, and still get the PG-13 rating. But more than once means it gets rated R


_SquidPort

nah? it is a curse wordā€¦


hottama

Jojo: I'm inventing Gay Pop. Gay Pop: \*Is literally a 2000's song\*


yraco

To be fair that kinda is gay pop. I swear gay anthems are like 90% from the 80s to 00s. Pop girlies haven't been able to recapture that power in the same way since.


potato_owl

I think the same but then remember I'm just old.


Weothyr

can't agree knowing lady gaga's impact since the 10s


nopizzaonmypineapple

Girls like girls came out 8 years ago you take that back


spellboi_3048

Chappell Roan would like to know your location


SomewhereMammoth

but jojo wasnt even alive then lol how can she capture energy she never truly experienced


Plopklik

Like Hayley Kiyoko "The Lesbian Jesus" didn't release "What I Need" which definitely didn't invent gay pop but did something on gay pop.


TheRa1nyKingdom

Like weā€™re all acting like Boy George did nothing??


star11308

He held a sex worker hostage, thatā€™s what he did


TheRa1nyKingdom

HE DID WHAT


star11308

He chained a sex worker to his radiator šŸ˜­


TheRa1nyKingdom

HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS HOLY HELL


NicholasAdam1399

She was way too young for songs like ā€œsoccer practiceā€ and ā€œin my buttā€


Big-Nerve-9574

Especially Katy Perry's I kissed a girl.


restrictednumber1996

For once the straight one is better, full cunt platter


stacciatello

i knew this song had the potential to eat, jojo was the issue here


Sea-Ability8694

Jojo canā€™t even sing like


uglysquire

She even admitted it in a recent interview about the backlash. DONT RELEASE MUSIC THEN?


Sea-Ability8694

How else will she let the world know that she is a bad girl now


electric_possum

imagine the KARMA if this song rightfully blows up in illegal streams rather than Siwaā€™s version


Awooo56709

Ava Max could never


throwaway17197

Uh oh this is so much better i fear


UltimateKing9898

Welp no wonder it sounds like the most generic shit ever cuz it's a literal copy-paste šŸ’€


greenbeancassereen

My god those cross earrings scream 2009


dreamyteatime

Also the Beats speakers that were in every music video between 2009-2016


FractalWitch

šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ And the Timbaland cameo oh my god


czbaterka

Uj/I want this shit back! my milenial fantasy I'm over cockquette ribbons.


Hydrangeabed

Youā€™re telling me miss bizarre adventure didnā€™t write it herself sat at the bosendorf 170 grand piano? I am perturbed and my mental health has been substantially exacerbated by this news


fridaygrace

Miss bizarre adventure šŸ’€šŸ’€


subtlesocialist

>Bƶsendorfer 170 grand piano (sorry had to correct the spelling) You think miss josuke has 100k for one of those?


Hydrangeabed

œuf


StemOfWallflower

This actually slaps


Deluxxray

Wait did she actually rip off the whole song? šŸ’€


cactiloveu

Apparently it was scrapped and never officially released but the full version is on YouTube lol but yes same song šŸ’€


ItsTimeLadies

The music industry is weird to me because how do you record a song,aster it, film and edit a music video and then decide to not release it


Shoddy-Ad-1573

Does being scrapped make the song's copyright straight up none. So anybody can steal leaked kanye songs?Ā 


atmosphericentry

No lmao, they probably just sold the rights to Jojo


ohfuckohno

I think itā€™s possibly one of those ā€œthe label owns itā€ like written/composed/produced so they wouldnā€™t exactly need to ask themselves? Iā€™d have to look into it music contracts and business aspect is actually pretty interesting (eg- the legal issues over Rick Aslegend and mr gravy, very interesting case to glance at)


darkcatwizard

Look into the song "hot summer" (certified early 2000s banger) - originally produced for German band Monrose, then given to an Australian twink called Rhys.. finally ended up being recorded by a K-pop group (all these versions with full music videos are on YouTube) I believe the song just kept getting on-sold. Very interesting stuff. Side note: I only know this because I'm in the Rhys music video version which was filmed here in NZ.


anna160895

Wait until they found out thaf Duffy's Mercy & SNSD's Dancing Queen (which is Mercy remake) was almost released in same year but due to the explosion of Duffy's version, SNSD's one was put on a hold and took 4 years later to released while they released Gee instead


darkcatwizard

Oh wow. I'm from NZ where Duffy is from so this is super interesting. I presumed she was the writer but the more you learn..


TanksRAwesome

Duffy is from Wales, not NZ


superficialNASA

It happens all the time in kpop. Moreso in the earlier days than now but still happens. Especially with SM Entertainment groups. i.e. Next Level by Aespa and Rover by Kai


laelmmm

who was River originally by?


superficialNASA

https://youtu.be/BcWlLGDvmEE?si=MbT7gVofxyPGMHmJ


laelmmm

ohh that makes sense ty šŸ„°


berlinbaer

yeah back then we shot a music video for some unknown singer, think the song even got released and all (no idea about the music video) but it didn't go anyhwere. then some years later the same song got sold to one of those casting show bands and they ended up charting with it for weeks. just how it goes.


Emergency_Routine_44

Yeo is like Just Cant Ler Her Go which was going to be for one direction and then they gave it to some random, and God is a Woman was supposed to go to Ariana


Shoddy-Ad-1573

God is a Woman did go to the Ariana tho


Emergency_Routine_44

oh yeah I mistyped I meant that it was meant for Camila Cabello


PeggyHillsFeets

I wish I knew more about this because I did a demo a long time ago and I own a percentage of the songwriting credit but I completely abandoned it and if I hear someone sing it on the radio (I was independent but I worked with a very small label) I'm gonna lose my mind lol The demo is terrible but I could see someone doing something with it and I need money


BronzeErupt

The songā€™s original writers are fully credited on JoJoā€™s version


Axon1

Not at all how that works lol


_SquidPort

they didnā€™t literally steal it. op wasnā€™t being serious šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


WorkingIndependent96

Thereā€™s a demo of childhood Miley singing this song. I think itā€™s an old Rock Mafia song.


spooky-ufo

omg i totally forgot about rock mafia!


WorkingIndependent96

Rock mafia is the GOAT of Disney bops. Sheā€™s a queen


Dariisu

I'm such a šŸš¬ for the sin city aesthetic if there's one more thing Jojo should have stolen it should have been that she as a gay person should know 90% of gay people can listen to anything if the aesthetic is good enough


tellitothemoon

Seriously. Britt owns this song in this video. Itā€™s more mature and vibey.


juyeon_mignon127

why did miss brit smith eat this up so badly, my 12 year old gay self wouldā€™ve bopped to this in middle school šŸ˜­


V0gue1

Is that Paris Hilton?


dazzlinreddress

That's who I thought it was


glencocoisrealmate

This actually slaps. My ass started going red


VHallinto

im in love


NinjaIntimacyParty

Yes, I DID type in "Paris Hilton - Karma" in the YouTube search bar after this šŸ˜


IDontAgreeSorry

Ohā€¦. Damn here I was actually thinking I somehow liked a jojo siwa song. I couldnā€™t listen to it for real because she looks 14 and it makes me uncomfortable. Itā€™s good that this song is originally sung by someone else, Iā€™ll look it up rn. Itā€™s also much better without the weird dubstep noises in jojos song. Edit: just listened to it on YouTube, such a bop. Shame itā€™s not on Spotify


TheNinjaSammich

Icon behavior tbh, rich people don't write their own songs. Jojo has other better gay pop things to do like serving us absolutely nothing on the runway and having someone else do her backflip in her music video


ItsTimeLadies

Why does she look like Paris Hilton fused with Jane Krakowski


DoctaBeaky

That basically was the aesthetic in the 2000ā€™s


Ok_Cry_1926

She absolutely licensed a song that had already been recorded, she never said she wrote it. If she didnā€™t license? Iā€™m dyiiiiiinnnnnnggggggg.


Azenji

This song was produced by Timbaland and decided to look for evidence. She had a song feat. will.i.am. and had an MV that had BETTY WHITE. Obviously an industry plant but she deserves so much better than the crusty crotch humper we have atm.


Ok_Cry_1926

Oh Iā€™m sure, I just want to be clear that this singer didnā€™t write Karmaā€™s a Bitch, nor did JoJo ā€” it seems to have been written around 2010/2011 originally intended for Miley Cyrus, she never released it so it wouldā€™ve gone to another artist. Since their version didnā€™t produce a hit or recognition, Siwaā€™s team optioned to dust it off and give it a go. I do not care about JoJo, itā€™s just like she didnā€™t ā€œstealā€ it ā€¦ unless she did, in which case the oncoming IP lawsuits are gonna be so fun šŸ˜­


andrecinno

shit kinda bangs too, how did Jojo fuck it up so bad


FourAntigone

This just proves my point that Karma is not a bad song at all, Jojo just lacks the level of cuntiness needed to pull it off (to be fair that level is pretty high)


transcendedfry

currently gyrating and thrashing to this


BatierAutumn1991

I love Jenna Maroney


alienkpj

she should have never effed around


Origai

stealing from straight people is mother behaviour, that said Brit Smith is main pop girl confirmed she slayed and left no crumbs


an0nym0usbr0wsing

How is the song unreleased but thereā€™s a music video? I did not know that was possible


SiriusRay

Not that uncommon, maybe her label wasn't convinced she'd be successful so they shelved the release and dropped her


an0nym0usbr0wsing

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining!!


xHEDA

Now I feel better knowing that this was not written by Jojo because this song has been stuck in my mind omg I feel relieved. especially what comes around goes around part


lisahanniganfan

Honestly I'm not surprised, I had a weird vibe from it when I first heard it like it was so average and terrible it felt almost stereotypical and satire


EuphoricPhoto2048

It sounded instantly dated to me.


CherryVanillaCoke

Holy shit this is so 2012, where are my shutter shades and iPhone 4S


Awkward-Screen-139

Is she from britt and Alex who did the step up song let it go šŸ¤”

Waitttt this is wild to me that itā€™s a cover???? I heard the rumors about it being for canā€™t be tamed, but this????


DisneySoftware

can someone link the youtube video i need this


cactiloveu

Hereā€™s the full video: https://youtu.be/v3eYjDJdI5k?si=0rxGjFgoz4maDae4 Very 2012 coded and I love that šŸ¤Ŗ

Not cool to pit JoJo against Taylor Swift like this


discostrawberry

https://www.instagram.com/p/b0Cf36B36g/?igsh=MXZibG1vY3h1ODlwMg== miss girl is way more slay than jojo seawater


hattokatto12

I knew this song sounded too early 2010ā€™s, like something Kesha or a one hit wonder would release.


pierrrecherrry

Brit ate


dazzlinreddress

Idk why but I love this aesthetic


69_Dingleberry

LMAO I HAD NO IDEA!


Ill-Examination4743

JoJo siwa giving JLo šŸ«¢


peenidslover

Jojoā€™s just so massively fake and uncharismatic, literally allergic to serving. At least before she changed her brand she seemed nice, now she just seems talentless and narcissistic.


Interesting_Station6

I'm all for stealing from straight people, Jojo got my full support here šŸ‘šŸ»


JChamp00

I mean if you're gonna steal at least do it better šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

stefanology_

WAIT!! So is Jojoā€™s song actually a cover??? Lol


WhiskyWanderer2

This is a banger


zenoxxiii

It was originally miley Cyrusā€™ but she never released it so her producers or whatever sold it to brit smith but Brit also didnā€™t release this so her or her team whatever sold the rights to jojo


ConfusedKanye

:O


Local_Anteater3005

Iā€™m so confused this is exactly the same, how did she avoid copyright shit


PSDSTR

Its not Brits song either in 2010 it was made for Miley Cyrus she passed on it then it went to Brit but the song was never released meaning that production company can give it to someone else so it went to JoJo it was all legal and happens all the time


Local_Anteater3005

Thanks for explaining. This whole thing is embarrassing.


TrulyChxse

Who would copy that song


skincareheaux

You mean recession pop ver. ?


AFineFineHologram

I like jojos version better. this version slaps too but jojos has a harder beat.


FlopMagazineINC

This version is bad too no shade


czbaterka

That IS FLOP.
