Several of the hits from Ariana Grande’s debut album might not have been possible without Jordin Sparks, according to a producer who worked on the project.
Harmony Samuels produced and wrote several songs that charted on the album’s tracklist, including her Top 10 hit “The Way” and her collaboration with Big Sean “Right There.”
In a recent interview, Harmony explained how the music came to be, and Jordin’s connection to it.

Harmony told Rated R&B that the songs were originally intended for Jordin. If she didn’t know, the singer also has a writing credit on “The Way.”
“While I was making that album [Fantasia’s Side Effects]I was working on those records for Ariana Grande, but they weren’t Ariana Grande records, they were Jordin Sparks records.”
He went on to say: “Jordin Sparks is the maker of those records and the model behind who Ari is now. My vision was for Jordin to be that person.”
“Unfortunately, RCA didn’t see the value in what it was producing for Jordin, and they proceeded to go in a different direction,” he added.
