Now, a rep for Skarbek told Radar that while “Wrecking Ball’ wasn’t exactly written for Beyoncé, it almost was.
“Originally, the [songwriting session between Dr. Luke and Sacha] was booked to write a song for Beyonce,” the rep said. “But as the song [‘Wrecking Ball’] progressed, the songwriters realized the song would not work for her.”
We know this happens often with artists (check out this list of famous pop songs originally written for other singers), but it’s interesting to think about the fact that Beyoncé could have had the power ballad if she wanted it.
