Speaking with Page Six, Christina made it very clear that she loved Jennifer’s version of “Play.”
“Without a doubt, she killed him. She is so good. I love that song,” she gushed. “And I couldn’t believe that at 19 years old she wrote a song for J.Lo.”
He also told how the song came together, explaining that it was written around the same time as his hit single “AM to PM.” It arrived very quickly.
“And I said, ‘This sounds too easy,’” he recalled. “Writing was too easy at that time. “I wrote the song in about 15 minutes and it was a joke to me because I had just started becoming a writer.”
Christina added that it was acquired by Jennifer’s team and that she worked with them to perfect the song while recording it.
What happens with your voice in the song? Again, not a problem for Christina, who opined that “it’s no different than Michael Jackson having background singers on songs or Britney Spears.”
“This is what music is made of. You want a mix of voices. For me, it makes the songs better,” she explained.
As far as she is concerned, there is no need for a main credit either: “I am in the credits by any nature, as a writer and by experience as a singer. There is credit for that. I am also very happy that she did it because she is an icon, she is incredible.”
If you need more evidence that there is no feud between the two, Christina was on the guest list for a party celebrating Jennifer’s death. spin collaboration in March.
