It’s crazy how Brit Smiths version tells a story and she actually feels the guilt while jojos version just seems meaningless. The song makes so much more sense now.
ikr? like in Jojo's version, the "thou shall" parts are so confusing. and after watching this MV, it makes sense cause she's talking to a preacher(or a pastor? idk what it's called)
@@rednad0814yes. She’s in confession telling her sins (cheating) and saying that she regrets everything she did. Much better production in the song as well.
Yeah for real in jojos version it makes no sense, like the music video is just flashy costumes and set designs for seemingly no reason and gives Disney channel vibes. This one is more real.
Timbaland’s influence on music is enormous. For her to even go down that path on a 13 year old song that he produced… Dumb JoJo. And also just fckng arrogant.

@lisell000 Oh that makes sense, I'm glad it was leaked but I didn't think it made sense that they were allowed to release it after another person has paid for it. Thanks.
She's trying to move away from her family friendly image which (under normal circumstances) would be understandable. But the fact she couldn't even commit to the bit is all the proof I need to know that this is all a way to cover-up the XOMG POP! stuff.
and the incredibly awful mixing work on jojos version, I have 6+ years of experince in mixing and mastering music and Brit Smiths version is literally how I do all my own mixes, I cant listen to jojos version it hurts, like physically hurt my ears to listen to it
wow, the "thou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat..." part actually makes sense in this version; the whole song is a confession. Why is Jojo on a boat???
The "Thou shall not lie" sounds kinda forced on Jojo Siwa's in my opinion As much as I love electro pop _sigh_ Jojo Siwa destroyed the vibe though and it doesn't sound that pleasant to hear :
Wow this was released in 2024 even though it was recorded in 2012, how did JoJo find the song if the song was unreleased? did someone in the company give her the file of the song? JoJo Siwa was accused of plagiarism and she said I don't know this singer
The credits never went to Jojo siwa for producing or writing but she still took the idea because she didn’t link to the original performer. Which was Brit smith.
The song made so much sense with this MV, it was telling a story about cheating. Jojo just created the most random scenes and didn't gave the song justice. Wish this will be officially release cuz this is so muchhh betterrrr
I also like how in this version, she’s kind of remorseful about her cheating and she knows what she did is wrong. Whereas in Jojo’s version it’s just basically a diss track against her ex.
I find it funny how the song is about a girlfriend cheating and a boyfriend cheating, a song about Straight people, and then JoJo says it’s a new type of music called Gay Pop keyword Gay
It was bad because of the context that the lyrics were referring to. Brit's version fits the video's narrative and it's mature theme, but Jojo's just looked like a diss track to her ex and the dark lyrics doesn't fit her when all of us know all she did in the past was being an energetic rainbow bright girl.
"thou shalt not lie" makes more sense here since she's in a confessional booth in this video. It seemed out of place in JoJo's video because she's literally just kissing and touching girls on a cruise ship 😭
@@maylily820yeah the visuals looked nice for jojo siwa but they didn’t make sense the song is still decent for being teen pop from the 2010s her voice still needs to evolve though some parts were giving her previous kids music
This is the first time I have understood every single word. She sings it so clearly, with perfect pronunciation. It's a critical skill that not many singers can do, and it makes such a difference.
Me too. I watched Jojo's version about 3 times, and I literally thought someone wronged her and she's wishing karma upon another person. Here I've realised it was the singer's persona who did something wrong and is experiencing karma.
You could run this video through a MP3 converter and upload it to Spotify as a local file 🤷 The only way it'll get on Spotify is if someone uploads a podcast of it.
Interesting to think that if Jojo had never made her version of this song, this precious gem would have potentially forever stayed hidden from us. Thank you Jojo, and thank you Brit
@@idkyouho "Y’all didn’t care or know sht about this girl until Jojo sang the song.": That's a strange thing to say when Brit's song and video were never released, which is neither our nor her fault.

I’ve solved my own mystery. I was wondering why my foot was tapping to jojos song. It was so cringe with no story, yet I’m over here liking the song! NOW it makes sense. The song is amazing. The music video is the bow that ties it together. An actual story!!! You really did deserve better Brit
Because we were all remembering Jojo with her Bowo's😅.." i'm a bad girl"?... Wenn?.. The song doesn't match that girl at all. Happy to see Brit Smith version (the music video, because the sound is almost the same) With Jojo Siwa it's so agresive and just too much. With the humping etc wich she also did infront of the audiënts in Miami /pride night...Ridicilous and cringe 🥴
She had the looks, she had the voice, she had the song, I don’t understand why she never took off cause this is amazing. She could’ve been one of the main pop girls if this was released.

Kinda crazy that there are probably tons of music artists like Brit Smith whose careers never got the chance to take off. We always hear about the success/dream-come-true stories from musicians and you tend to forget lots of people don't make it.
I know everybody is talking about the song but dammit we also should talk about the video. I love the style. The video being mostly in black and white with the occasional bold color. No over the top visuals or weird choreography. It's mature and simple. The entire "Thou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat" lyric motif makes sense in a music video set in a church. It's cohesive and makes the video feel more like an art piece rather then just visuals to accompany the video. It's a confessional. The lyrical motif makes no sense on a cruse ship/island themed music video.
she's never claimed to have written it, i've seen her talk about it 3x and in all 3 interviews she said her team found the song and played it for her lol
@@codys3084 she literally said she wanted to create a new genre of music so forgive me for assuming she actually contribuited to this song and that it wasn't a decade old lol

@@obamiumsussygaming2107 yes ik that lol, I’m saying this original song got over 1M really fast because of that jojo song that sounded the exact same as the original song
@@joannahrabinaexactly. That enabled her to claim “writing” credits. So pathetic. I want this version on Spotify now so I can stream the shit out of it. The sheer audacity of JoJo coming off all the XOMG pop stuff.
@@sanriogirlzMiley was 20 during her Bangerz era. The main thing that ruined Jojo's version is the childish, over the top video. And of course, her inability to sing.
her label failed her by convincing her to go with a different song, she could've had a huge career, kinda sad tbh, she has a lot of talent, and from the interview with her she seems like a very sweet and humble person
Honestly, seeing the song this way, it’s a pretty catchy song. I wish they released it in 2012 like they had planned because it definitely would have gotten popular.
Literally obsessed with this song now. How amazing that there are hidden gems, capturing the spirit of cultural eras gone by, just waiting to be heard.
Just so you know, since JoJo owns the rights to the song Brit Smith will not get any royalties. Although considering how poorly Spotify pays their creators listening to it there is probably the best way to stream it while giving JoJo the least about of royalties
@@vitariio_I sing it though, I didn't felt that guilty, before I knew this version, I kinda felt guilty singing the Jojo Siwa's version, but the Brit Smith's version? It's really nice and a banger 🗣️🔥🔥
I know Brit hasn’t released music in a long time but we seriously need to give her the flowers she deserves! This version is so much more fun and fitting with the song! She killed it
Brit said in an interview that she wanted this song to be her debut single and it was going to be until the label decided to change it so it was never released. But this version is AMAZING!

Yeah for real in jojos version it makes no sense, like the music video is just flashy costumes and set designs for seemingly no reason and gives Disney channel vibes. This one is more real.
the fact jojo re-record this song and said that she's "inventing" a WHOLE New Genre called "Gay Pop" is wild to me

jojo likes to steal other artist's songs to claim they were hers.
and the incredibly awful mixing work on jojos version, I have 6+ years of experince in mixing and mastering music and Brit Smiths version is literally how I do all my own mixes,
I cant listen to jojos version it hurts, like physically hurt my ears to listen to it

jojo can’t sing meanwhile brit can there is a huge diference lmao
wow, the "thou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat..." part actually makes sense in this version; the whole song is a confession. Why is Jojo on a boat???
"why is jojo on a boat" I just laughed at my laptop so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The "Thou shall not lie" sounds kinda forced on Jojo Siwa's in my opinion
As much as I love electro pop _sigh_ Jojo Siwa destroyed the vibe though and it doesn't sound that pleasant to hear :
i think the boat is likely a nod to the cruise drama, but i completely agree. makes much more sense in this context
I keep thinking this. The song made no sense before XD
Why is she on a boat? Why is she crab walking out of the ocean? I need answers.
song is actually a banger when sung by a talented artist
...and produced by timbaland. ;)
But this version has some depth, there's some depth in the production. And her voice has a lot of personality which fits this song very very well.

Technically the song was originally by Miley Cirus, but there’s no recording of Cirus singing it
@@tar7983no its not hers she doesnt even have writing credits she was given the song as a demo
Well it got scrapped so 🤷🏼♀️
It’s a scrapped Miley Cyrus song which became Brit Smith‘s song and was then taken down I think, and idea taken by Jojo Siwa.
The credits never went to Jojo siwa for producing or writing but she still took the idea because she didn’t link to the original performer. Which was Brit smith.
The song made so much sense with this MV, it was telling a story about cheating. Jojo just created the most random scenes and didn't gave the song justice. Wish this will be officially release cuz this is so muchhh betterrrr
Yes because jojo made me think the song was a diss to her ex i was so confused. I really like this version
It's about how Jojo brings the concept. If she done something like this instead, she won't get that unecessary hate train 😭
The only part of JoJo’s MV that really makes sense with the song is the choreography on the boat because you can see her holding two girls at once.
I also like how in this version, she’s kind of remorseful about her cheating and she knows what she did is wrong. Whereas in Jojo’s version it’s just basically a diss track against her ex.

@@IvanaSantinihe did produce it. His name is in the song credits on Spotify.
This has aged better in a dozen years than the new cover has in a month. Life can be a strange phenomenon sometimes.
That’s cause it’s timbaland! Of course it’s a great beat
Karma’s a bitch
It’s so sad that this never ended up getting officially released. This would’ve been a HIT in 2012
Omg Fr 😭😭
they just released it as a single today!
@@jesuspablomiros4715 OMG WHAT. LOL
I could see this in one of the Just Dance games if it weren't for the title lol
She just released it as a single in apple music and Spotify guys!
Kinda crazy that there are probably tons of music artists like Brit Smith whose careers never got the chance to take off. We always hear about the success/dream-come-true stories from musicians and you tend to forget lots of people don't make it.
And often those who get ahead have sold their soul to the devil/Diddy..
@@cuteanimalseverywhere7620yeah right
@@cuteanimalseverywhere7620diddy? Did you misspell daddy lmao

Yes ma'am! Imagine what Brit Smith would have been.
This would have fit perfectly between "Somebody I used to know" and "Wrecking ball."
If this song was officially released back in the day, this 100% would have been on my “2010’s nostalgic songs” playlist
I know everybody is talking about the song but dammit we also should talk about the video. I love the style. The video being mostly in black and white with the occasional bold color. No over the top visuals or weird choreography. It's mature and simple.
The entire "Thou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat" lyric motif makes sense in a music video set in a church. It's cohesive and makes the video feel more like an art piece rather then just visuals to accompany the video. It's a confessional. The lyrical motif makes no sense on a cruse ship/island themed music video.
Much better than Jojos pennywise concept
@@ethanchasejackson It's a legit jumpscare whenever I see her 💀
Reminds me of the sin city movies, I dig it.
No over the top visuals? You must be joking
@@skippygirl959 It's pretty standard for music videos from the early 2010's. I'm comparing it to those.
I'm just glad the beginning actually sounds like "bad girl" instead of "bagel."
“I was a bagel”
“I did some bathing”
😭😭
I was a bagle😂
....I had to go back to the other beginning after reading this comment 😂💀💀💀
@@sleepypup samee
The audacity for Jojo to start appearing on Billboard to talk us through the "process" of "creating" this song is beyond audacious to me
fr she keeps talking about her inspiration and stuff... dude you wrote NOTHING??? wtf
@@kazakukog no wait, she did write one line - she *changed one word in a line.* she changed the "messed around" to "effed around" 😍😍😍 /s
@@ReiAnikaAyanami oh my god wait she's so brave for that!!! 😍😍😍
she's never claimed to have written it, i've seen her talk about it 3x and in all 3 interviews she said her team found the song and played it for her lol
@@codys3084 she literally said she wanted to create a new genre of music so forgive me for assuming she actually contribuited to this song and that it wasn't a decade old lol
the visuals are insanely good
i want to live in the parallel universe where brit smith releases this in 2012 and becomes the next great pop star she deserves it, honestly.
real
Tru
brit smith should've kept this song....
Or gave to Miley
@@WhoathereMiley was the first one to record it, she gave it to Brit smith.
JoJo want back in time and gave her this song 😅
@@bgcuneditstv Brit wrote it, miley didn't want it
@@overdosedmiawallace well still she needs to pay jojo her money back and release this herself
In a parallel universe this song was actually released and everybody would be commenting how they used to listen to it back in the days.
“Who else listening to this in 2024?”
_I swear 2012 has some of the most energetic songs like the kind that injects serotonin into your veins_
The difference of an actual adult with loads of talent and a kid cosplaying an adult, is massive
Truth!!!
Too true 😂 I’m living for the original!
This was posted 13 days ago, the day I'm writing this, and karma by jojo was posted 2 weeks. This was posted A DAY after and everyone is acting like this has been released for decades. Give jojo a break.
baby... this was recorded in 2012@@sillyofthegoose6288
But Jojo is actually a 20 years old adult 😭
this version is so much better than jojo siwa's version
Fr
of course but thx for her for let us know about it
AYO ANOTHER LAIN
frrr
real
1M In three days??? She should've released this.
it’s over 1M cause of jojo’s trending song that sounded similar to this. if it this was released in like 2014, it would just be a regular song
I cannot deny that this would ate the 2010 era
@@foreverwrIdis that when it was recorded?
@@foreverwrIdsimilar? Gurl jojo literally bought this song lol
@@obamiumsussygaming2107 yes ik that lol, I’m saying this original song got over 1M really fast because of that jojo song that sounded the exact same as the original song
The fact that britsmith song gives nostalgia even if u didnt heard it..
Even the video concept is better 😭😭
right i can actually understand the plot of the video
@@DaisyPentorn - I’m a bit lost on it, who cheated first?
@@ToriAnneXx in this video she did. i have no clue who cheated in jojos video
@@DaisyPentorn I think it was JoJo?? No idea tho
Way better. Imo, it’s JoJo’s video that did the most damage.
the way she sings "I should've known better" is so satisfying
yesssss
Frrrrr
i felt the knife twist 😍
Woaah oh ooh oh ooh oh
Karma's a bitch, and she's with you right now
we all know this would have definitely slapped so hard back in 2012 and would be such a nostalgic 2010s song to listen to now
I would say 2011. This kind of music died out in 2012
@@SafeTripHome33honestly more like 2009
@@georgiosntanis4353 youre right
Fr
I'm so glad she's finally getting attention and not Siwa
First Response. What’s up?
The most important difference is that she doesn't say 'effed around'.
That must be whole Jojos input to this song. Changing a sentence
@@joannahrabinaexactly. That enabled her to claim “writing” credits. So pathetic.
I want this version on Spotify now so I can stream the shit out of it.
The sheer audacity of JoJo coming off all the XOMG pop stuff.
@@joannahrabinanot even a sentence, it's only a word 😭😭
my thoughts exactly 😭
knew that wasn’t normal
Imagine scrapping a Timbaland produced song. The instrumental is WAY better on this track
Edit: This version is now officially available on all DSPs 👀
Tea... The Jojo version instrumental is booboo garbage compared to this
Not to mention someone who can actually sing LOL
AINT NO WAY? THIS A TIMBALAND BEAT? YOURE KIDDING
@@bread_dawgI read that as boohoo as in that clothing website 😭
He's in the video as the priest so it would only make sense @@levimoh3562
YALL SHE RELEASED IT ON SPOTIFY!! WE DID ITTTT
YASSS
LETS GOOOOO
YESSS
holy fuck lmfao let's go
YAY
I'm so obsessed with this version!
Jojo makes it sound like a kids song while she makes it sound like a grown pop song
Right
@@sanriogirlzMiley was 20 during her Bangerz era. The main thing that ruined Jojo's version is the childish, over the top video. And of course, her inability to sing.
@@sanriogirlz20 = adult. Jojo is just an overgrown child
Lmao one version is the original & one is the kidz bop version from years later XD
WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING THIS ENITRE TIME 😭
The fact that Jojo didnt even write this song makes everything so much funnier because this version is just so much better regardless
She just replaced the "messed around" with "effed around" and called it "writing lyrics" 💀
She Bought The Rights To It
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. JoJo Siwa will always be known as a ego princess @Anna-hy4sb
her label failed her by convincing her to go with a different song, she could've had a huge career, kinda sad tbh, she has a lot of talent, and from the interview with her she seems like a very sweet and humble person
Ikr, she's giving me Taylor Swift vibes. The song gave me Taylor Swift vibes even when Jojo sang it based off the lyrics only
@@darkchocolatemuffins9727she’s giving dark-side Britney Spears for me and I’m in loveeee
@@darkchocolatemuffins9727don’t insult her like that.
It gives more Britney Spears
What was the diff song or was it this one?
her career is probably going to end up getting a revive bc of this and there’s always a good chance she could just make a full on comeback
i’m so pissed cause this could’ve been one of my childhood songs
Now this IS A SINGER, THE SUPERIOR VERSION. PERIODT.
LETS MAKE THIS VERSION VIRAL INSTEAD
Exactly 👍
So real
YESSSSSS
YES
Yeah She Is Way better than Jojo
Timbaland produced beats just hits different. Even though this song was made a decade ago, it still feels more fresh than the 2024 iteration.
YES 🙌🏼
@@clan_fraser19YES is correct 👏
Imagine a pile of poop rolling around
@@dupisdisasterpiece1058 hidden replies on twitter be like
Honestly, seeing the song this way, it’s a pretty catchy song. I wish they released it in 2012 like they had planned because it definitely would have gotten popular.
If this actually dropped in 2012, it would be such a childhood banger
I am actually addicted to this version, I can't stop listening to it
Same
Me too
Doesn’t it drive you crazy there is no rhythm change before each chorus. So bad.
Finally, I now know why I was addicted to the lyrics.
FRR BUT BRIT DID IT BETTER
@@buzz.heartsrainn absolutely
The chorus part is just so catchy
ikr
SERIOUSLYYY
This music video is so 2012.😂 I love it.
Literally obsessed with this song now. How amazing that there are hidden gems, capturing the spirit of cultural eras gone by, just waiting to be heard.
Yesss! It's bringing me back in all the best ways; hope this gets released on Spotify!
Worded this beautifully

This gave me so much nostalgia for the early 2010s.

Thou shalt overplay this song!! 😍🤩❤
@@saftehbludloineleown1617Yes! ❤
Just so you know, since JoJo owns the rights to the song Brit Smith will not get any royalties. Although considering how poorly Spotify pays their creators listening to it there is probably the best way to stream it while giving JoJo the least about of royalties
@@elliee884Brit should release any other unreleased songs she has on Spotify then I’m sure they’re also bangers
Thank GOD it is not jojo's original song because I felt like I enjoy it, it's actually talented people's creation😭😭
hahahahaha exactly now I sing it all day and I don't feel guilty
Not gonna lie, Brit Smith's version is quite catchy and nice to listen while Jojo Siwa... uh... it sounded kinda childish?
@@vitariio_I sing it though, I didn't felt that guilty, before I knew this version, I kinda felt guilty singing the Jojo Siwa's version, but the Brit Smith's version? It's really nice and a banger 🗣️🔥🔥
You got a point
“She took my whole flow, word for word, bar for bar” Brit rn
Wow this version is SO MUCH BETTER
And Jojo had changed the one word “messed” to “effed” and called it her own song-
Can I please copy your homework?
Yeah but don't make it too obvious
Putting "effed" in there made the chorus sound so clunky too.
She could of atleast said fuck
@@Your_L0cal-Editorher mom probably said “okay only one curse word sweetie.”
@@crystallinesugar stupid momager
I know Brit hasn’t released music in a long time but we seriously need to give her the flowers she deserves! This version is so much more fun and fitting with the song! She killed it
Agree
Brit said in an interview that she wanted this song to be her debut single and it was going to be until the label decided to change it so it was never released. But this version is AMAZING!
maaaaan fuck labels.
Peak 2012 music. Miss those days
i’m genuinely so obsessed with this version i can’t lie
FR I CANT STOP LOSTENING I NEED THIS SHIT ON SPOTIFY
@@Hana_hxnliSAMEEE
Thou shall not lie, this song is a bop.
Same
I avoided JoJo’s version until after I heard this one. This one is a bop. Love it.
I did the same!! I am just now listening to this version and after im going to listen to JoJo’s.
Jojo wasn't a bad girl before . She just said what was written in the song.
It surely knocks jojos strawberry bop for sure lol
Poor little baby grow up
