The song apparently came out around April 16th, possibly posted to JoJo's Facebook account, only to be subsequently pulled.
Report:
Quote:The song serves as a buzz track for her first album under ‘Atlantic Records’
Some comments on that report:
Quote:This girl has unreleased music that could have been 3 albums by now. Shes hungry for this. Let demi selena and miley know who started this s*** she’s about to kill the game
Quote:I haven’t heard from JoJo in years! I like her new song
Quote:Wow I’m very impressed! It’s been so long since we’ve heard from her and I really do believe this is her come back statement.
Quote:Nice song but she has to come harder. She’s been away for almost a decade.
Background:
At thirteen years of age, JoJo was the youngest solo artist to have a number-one single in the United States. The lead single from her second album broke the record for the biggest jump into the top three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, moving from number 66 to number three in one week.
She subsequently had contract and distribution issues:
Quote:On June 3, 2009, JoJo stated on her official YouTube account that she was waiting for her record label to sign a distribution deal to release her (third) album. In a few months time, nearly 20 of her songs were leaked through a YouTube channel. In August 2009, it was reported that JoJo filed a lawsuit in New York against her record label Da Family Entertainment for putting her in musical limbo. She reportedly sought $500,000 for her troubles and to be released from her contract.[40] JoJo was released from her contract in October 2009 and a deal was reached with Blackground Records to have JoJo's third album distributed by Interscope Records.
Quote:After Blackground Records lost their distribution deal through Interscope Records in late 2012, resulting once again in the delay of the release of an album, JoJo began recording new material specifically for a new mixtape to be released by the end of the year, as she "didn't want to keep the fans waiting for new music any longer".
Quote:On July 30, 2013, it was reported that JoJo had filed a lawsuit against her labels Blackground Records and Da Family for "irreparable damages to her professional career". Allegedly, minors cannot sign contracts that last more than seven years under New York State law and thus she claims that as her contract was signed in 2004, her deal should have expired in 2011.
In December 2013 both of JoJo's and Blackground's attorneys agreed to drop the case as both parties came to an agreement outside court. On January 14, 2014, it was officially announced that JoJo was released from her multi-year battle with the label and signed a new recording contract with Atlantic Records.
