Is it true that "Battle Royale" is a rejected Britney pitch from the "Femme Fatale" sessions? I saw someone on YouTube claiming it was but, for some reason I'm not convinced. 

yes, sophie stern confirmed it was the 2nd song they did with pop & oak

I remember seeing a similar post of her like in 2016(?) right before she unvaulted the Stars In Your Heart video she posted a behind the scenes picture of her walking in the streets and caps saying it was an unreleased video from 2014.

Do u have a link/pic of it? I dived deeper into her IG and can't find anything  But also wouldn't it be kinda off though, Breaking Bonnie dropped all at once in 2013 and it was the first time we saw the clip of that MV... Could be that she's just as confused with dates as we are

thanks for the personal reception. I love Bonnie's songs. Does anyone know how to say she sings Britney's demos, "Sorry Adam" and "Love Is War" herself?

[Rain Starry]

Is the song X That Won'T Let Me Go also leaked? I just found the live version.

I believe Love Is War is demoed by Shelly Peiken and Sorry Adam seems to be attributed to either Hayley Steele or an artist called ELXXR. Bonnie didn't write these two, I think.

There doesn't seem to be a studio version unfortunately, only that one live recording.

I don’t have it but I remember seeing on a fan account of hers too! I’ll look into it.

Good night people. Does anyone have the songs Right Now (Dr Luke version) and Show Me Your Love that they can send me? grateful.

So what’s the truth of the breakdown at Epic? I’ve heard rumors that LA Reid was unhappy with American Girl’s performance and scrapped the project but I’ve never gotten the full story?

Was hoping Bonnie would’ve written a memoir or pitched a pilot telling her story by now….but who am I kidding?

I’ve always been curious because it seems strange to scrap a near-finished album with multiple videos shot because the lead single didn’t go Top 20. It feels like 2013-2014 was the tail end of that era where chart performance dictated everything.

So what do we know?

basically from podcast and interviews over the years and just fans guessing. she has said he didn't believe in slay anymore so he scrapped the single.ep she asked out of the deal. and everyone agreed she went on her own. she said she was able to take her masters with her but released the bombastic ep. it has been rumored she just got the master back in 2020 but that i don't really understand. she released stars in your heart a song she wrote pre epic but re recorded during epic and released sleepwalker without re recording it as she said she may have to do. which was confusing also. the epic situation wasn't her fault in my opinion. la reid did her dirty. he wanted her to do katy perry numbers with one song out.

This is kind of what I’ve gathered throughout the years but didn’t know about the SLAY tidbit and what was recorded prior to.

It’s so strange given she was touring with Karmin and only had 1 song out.

Thanks for the explainer!

Those songs remain unleaked, and apparently they're not circulating, so nobody seems to have them unfortunately

Genuinely curious to hear her demo of Lovebird. Strange that it hasn't leaked yet :(

So can we finally get the final of Slay? 🙏 I know it's out there 🔎

[Aftershock088]

Does anyone know if Bonnie had a song called ‘Rent’? She’s uploaded a video on Instagram ironically with the question ‘’How many unreleased songs do you have collecting dust on your hard drive?’’, and in the comments section there’s quite a few people referring to ‘Rent’ as though it’s recently been an unreleased leak, but I haven’t heard of that one or seen it on any lists 🤔
