This is a whole new thing, isn't it? Yet another milestone in Haley's continuing musical adventure has been achieved. Having a songwriting credit on another artist's album is a very cool thing, and the better Grimmie's album does the more exciting it becomes. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, Haley will have yet more artists using her songs and she can cement her reputation as a songwriter. This, along with the successes she is bound to have with her own singing, is what makes up the foundation of a solid career. To the future!

Yeah I wonder if all her other leaked songs were given to other artists as well.Anyway its exciting. Its closest thing we're getting to new Haley music being released to the public. Im excited to read reviews of Christina's album to hear what critics and fans think of GYT.

You forget the promise of a possible new song in less than a week

She doesn't do a bad job w the song, feels like she's behind at the beginning... the further away from the initial shock of Haley 'giving away' a song, the more ok I'm with it

Haley's got so much untapped potential, why not explore them all?

More milesones ahead

Do you think Haley will be able to 'cover' her own song live? I wonder if there might be some kind of agreement that Haley doesn't perform it live until a certain period of time for this song to get it's potential earnings ...?

Bought it for Haley- just the one song. Christina didn't do horribly on it.

She's on tour with Selena!

That's awesome. And with her giving Haley credit, Haley could earn herself a few more new fans.

(Obviously, not by thousands..but if 50 people check out Haley's album because of this..that's always a good thing.)

Selena Gomez's stepfather, Brian Teefey, is her manager. Nice connection

Comparing the two versions, I really do like Haley's better. Grimmie does a good job but sounds a bit more generic. I like how Haley brings more bite to the song and has more character to her voice. My hope is that Grimmie's and Selena Gomez's little fans hook onto GYT and look into Haley's music. I know they'd like what they hear.

I agree. I definitely like Haley's version better. But I doubt I'd ever hear a song where I didn't like Haley's version better..so that's not quite fair.

Haley has a lot of songs that would work well in a group setting. (Like this one) And seeing as Girl Groups seem like they're about to make a come back, maybe she'll get a few songs in there.

Ditto on that from me... although .. who knows what the kids who make pop sensations like better? They might not like the stylizations Haley uses that we just find amazing. Christina does a very good job in some parts
