how come she was able to afford to fully buy american girl’s recording

 

but couldn’t buy somebody’s gonna get hurt, i’d rather have that than either snatched or just as a 17th track. i guess buying a released song is easier than a completely unreleased song when they’re already refusing your masters?

She said that they let her "license" it, so Epic still owns the masters for that one. Both releases—the 2013 single and the album version—share the same ISRC code. That means by streaming the album, Epic still gets a percentage of it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

American Girl was released already, so although she has permission/the liscensing to include it, they still make their regular share of money from the song, and Bonnie doesn’t technically own it. Somebody’s Gonna Get Hurt wasn’t released, even tho it was intended to be, so theoretically, it might genuinely be easier for her to pay a fee and have them distribute the song, even though she is no longer signed.

Yes, that ss is for the demo - and your assumption about the final is a fair opinion to hold, I have no idea about the second mix. (Other than that it’s allegedly a stem edit.) But when I tried to tell you that Jocko produced the demo you disregarded everything I said,,, I just wanted to prove to you I’m not speaking out of my ass 😭

Honestly it’s my bad, I completely forgot about the first leaked demo 💀 I’m sorry if I came across as harsh, I just find this behind the scenes stuff so fascinating. I’d love to know exactly what Max Martin’s involvement with this song was, if there is any. 

And the second mix, which I’ve always called the final, actually IS a stem edit, but it’s pretty close to how the final is supposed to sound. I have the EBY recording sessions and it includes a mix down folder with the main studio mix, instrumental, acapella, etc. and the file in there is incredibly close to the second mix that leaked. It’s just missing a few harmonies during the chorus and bridge and some ad libs during the final chorus, but the instrumental is exactly the same.

Thank you for the info! I find this all interesting as well so dw ur not alone. Also, recently the credits were updated on the released Everything But You and Max is credited as a writer! So that might help? ❤️ :))

I know it’s still early, but when do you guys think we will be getting preorders for Vinyl?

[sunlightzone]

Wish we got Sexin' U on the album. always loved that song and vibe for Bonnie. 

[chimera]

[gordonna]

Y’all my lil Bonnie video hit 150 views 🥺👉👈 I know that’s not crazy or anything but I’ve never done anything like that so I’m really proud lol

I have no idea about the second "mix" that leaked, but I told you already that the version of the first demo that leaked was produced by Jocko. Max Martin is credited as a WRITER, but not a producer. (And because Spotify messed up the writers of the song, he wasn't there for a while, so I was very confused.)

Oh wow, thanks for this! So fascinating. Even tho the album has finally been released, it feels like there’s still so much mystery surrounding it. 

Also, how did you get these writing and producing credits if you don’t mind me asking?
