Beyonce, speaking with MTV.com about the writing process of DC's third studio album "Survivor" commented:
Quote:
Beyoncé: Thank you, Kelly. I wrote and produced "Independent Women [Part 1]" and "Jumpin', Jumpin'." Then I did "Survivor" and "Bootylicious" and the label loved it. [Same with] "Nasty Girl," "Emotions," "Happy Face," and "Apple Pie a la Mode." The label kept saying, "Do another song, do another song, do another song." It wasn't planned. It wasn't something like I said, "OK, I'm going to take charge."

The original version of "Emotion" was actually written by Barry and Robin Gibb and recorded in April 1977 by Australian singer Samantha Sang. It was also released as a single in December of that year as well.
Not motha slaying us all effortlessly with vintage 1977 lyricism so easily.
Only the Queen of our generation could and would.
Discuss.
