No, it was for Beyoncé. Ryan said she was taking to long to record it so he was going to give it Leona.
Keep trying boo. You'll get it one day.
That's the exact opposite of what actually happened. Leona was the one who was taking too long to record Halo (It was supposed to be the first single off of Echo, just like Ryan had the lead single for Spirit with Bleeding Love) and Ryan wanted Halo released earlier then Leona was anticipating putting out an album -- IASF was released before Echo was. That's why he gave it to Beyonce, because Leona was taking too long to record the song. The Hive always getting the facts wrong.

Plus, the demo of Halo is horrible.

"I'm putting that rumor to bed right now. That song was written for Beyoncé. What happened was that Beyoncé waited long enough to record that song that I had no communication with her and didn't know if she was going to do it or not.
It was still completed and offered to Leona before Beyonce got her hands on it to move around some words.
Ugh. What a frustratingly reactionary response by her team to the performance of 4. Just promote more intelligently next time! I don't want Beyoncé doing a Loud; that's not who she is an artist.
No it's not. Neyo and Ryan have said that they wrote those songs and had them completed before they were given to Beyonce to sing, and then magically the credits were revealed for those songs and her name is all over them? How much did she actually contribute to these songs after they were already completed and written for other artists? Exactly.
Halo was for Leona Lewis originally. Irreplaceable was originally for Ne-Yo before they gave those records to Beyonce.
dead. Halo was not for Leona Lewis. It was for Beyonce. Ryan Tedder said it himself. Simon Cowell heard the song and wanted it for Leona, but Ryan said it was for Beyonce. Get your facts straight.

This has been stated several times but B'Day had a writing camp. This is nothing new. And trust Bey won't ever make a Loud, in terms of quality.
That’s happened before. Here’s my thing, when I write a song for an artist I want that artist to take that song and make it their [own]. If you listen to my version of “Irreplaceable” and listen to Beyonce’s version of “Irreplaceable”, its two damn totally different songs with all the harmonies and extra stuff she put in there. So yea, I gave her her writer’s credit because that counts. That’s writing. That harmony that you put right there. That little background part, I didn’t write that originally. You put that in there, so for her to take the song and make it her’s, I didn’t mind her saying ‘I wrote this song for my girls’ at a concert or whatever the case may be. Because in a way, technically, she did put her spin on it. If you gonna do it the exact same way I did it, you might as well let me keep it.”

The One Republic frontman admitted that he only tentatively offered the track to Lewis after Beyoncé initially took a long time to record it.
"There was this huge scandal that originally 'Halo' was meant to go to Leona. That was never the case," he told Alex and Lucy on Key 103's Inemand.

"I thought this would be a brilliant first single for Leona, which it would have. When you have a song as special as 'Halo', you don't want anyone else to sit on it. So sometimes you have to pull the whole, 'Well, I'm going to get someone else on it', to prove a poin
