Written originally as a rock ‘n roll song with the title “Follow Your Heart”, it was written for singer Cyndi Lauper by songwriters Gardner Cole and Peter Rafelson, although it was never played to her. Since Madonna’s management was looking for new songs for True Blue, she accepted it, and altered some of the lyrics, while changing the composition to suit the dance-pop genre. As a result she was able to claim a co-writer credit for the song.

Bey does the same at times, even Madonna did it

Dear wordplay lovers,
Lovers of Beyoncé,
Fans of Formation.

Today I found out that “en formation” in French means that you’re in training, which means that “Okay ladies now let’s get in Formation” is a bilingual QUINTUPLE ENTENDRE!~

I hate that every thinks the HIVE hates every black female artist. Why are we always the ones who are blamed when EVERY fanbase does it? That Janet thread is making me feel so bad that everyone blames us for these things when they're the ones who ALWAYS attacks us. I know it's not that serious but still...

We just have incredibly high standards. Black or white, if your fave is not doing half of what Beyoncé can, why are we supposed to be even lowering our head for her?

That being said, Janet certainly deserves our respect.

Janet fans have always been very pressed and jealous of Beyonce. They're a very envious fanbase. They like to talk down on Bey a lot.

This is honestly one of her best pics of all time

Another expose from songwriter.

[sadnews]

"Beyoncé is a scientist of songs. I’ve never seen anyone work the way she works. She definitely changes the song structures. She can take two songs, say, “I like two lines, I like the melody then let me use that for a verse and a bridge and write the whole middle.” It’s more of a collaboration. You never know what she’ll like. I came to her with a bunch of songs and she was like, “I like that verse, I like the idea.” But she definitely doesn’t take things as is, at least not from me. I came in on the Jack White song [“Don’t Hurt Yourself”] and helped finish it."

For daddy lesson
"When I played it for her, I was like, “This is one of my favorite songs.” She was like, “This is my life.” I told her, “You know what, take it, do what you want with it.” She went and re-produced it, she changed some words, added the bridge, it’s hers."

I love the way she called Bey an "scientist". It's an interesting way to describe her. I feel most people who would work her way would turn songs in monsters in an ugly Frankenstein way, while Bey takes parts, re-writes, reproduces and recomposed songs and made them her own gems.

Bey is a wizard in the studio. How she took that Diva demo and made it listenable...good GAWD!

what I would do for just the vocal stems for Love on Top
