Indeed.List of albums, with selected chart positions and certifications Upon learning this, they say Amerie went ahead and leaked ‘1 Thing’ to radio stations on her own, and because it became so popular … Columbia had to back down and let it be. This has been a recurring theme in J Lo’s music career - Fat Joe even touched on it not too long ago - but the alleged tale goes … ‘1 Thing’ was supposedly being shopped to J Lo BTS, and the Columbia label heads actually wanted it to go to her instead of Amerie. However, there’s one other element here that’s also getting some attention as it relates to Amerie and J Lo, specifically … namely, old stories/rumors that Jen was allegedly getting prioritized over labelmates/contemporaries. Amerie and J Lo, meanwhile, came out with their songs, “1 Thing” and “Get Right,” around the same time in 2005 … with JL getting a slightly earlier release in January.Īnd spoiler alert … ALL of these songs were produced by Harrison, so of course they sound alike!
