According to the employ at Interscope records "New Day" was never Alicia's single, 50 Cent initially wanted Rihanna on the hook, but Alicia's told him she would like to do the vocals, which she did, but Swizz beats leaked out the solo version before the official version.

I would rather Alicia Keys over Rihanna since Rihanna always does hooks. It would be another "Live Your Life," "Run This Town" or "All of the Lights." 50 Cent and Alicia Keys collaborating together is interesting also since they had a feud. It's even more interesting that Keys wanted to be on the song.

Thanks for the info!

I like this a lot, more than alicia's solo version! and thank god rihanna is not on this!

But 50 Cent said "**** Alicia Keys" two years ago. I'm so confused.

Maybe J records wanted a buzz single / featuring before she releases her first single.

Was alicias version released to the radio ? if not, then I don't see a problem.


By the way, the production on the official version is different, and on the verses you can hear Alicia doing background vocals.

She'll slay as usual

[BadKidBrodie]

I like it

[J-esper]

I like Alicia's version more, but this is okay/nice

I'm mad they cut the intro and the outro

I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard it'll be on iTunes tomorrow (Tuesday). They should release it on Monday imo, so hopefully it might be able to debut on the Hot 100 (although I doubt it will).

Could be worse. It's alright. The single is probably gaining airplay and it was digitally released just yesterday.

#43 on iTunes

Thank god they made remix of it and made it 1st 50 Cent single. Alicia needs better material for her solo lead single.

#40 now

#31 now
