When a song was released has nothing to do with when it was recorded.  Wasn't Beyonce initial first solo album supposed to have a different sound, but they changed directions when "Work it Out" flopped? 

Labels give artist other peoples songs/tracks all time if they think it will sell.  It's a business, and Beyonce was the bigger star at the time.

Also, didn't Amerie have to leak "1 Thing" because the label didn't think it was a hit?  Who knows how long she had been sitting on the song.

Love what it represents and the visuals surrounding it but the song itself has aged terribly.

No they leaked it because Jennifer Lopez wanted to record it

I think the problem is Rich Harrison working with different artists. You can say Green Light sounds like Amerie for example, but it's actually just the Rich Harrison sound. No producer is exclusive, it must be annoying for artists because it becomes a competition. The Dream lawsuit also describes this atmosphere of Rihanna and Beyoncé having to fight over songs and it's ridiculous..but I guess it's how the industry works

We are both correct according to wiki

"Later in 2004, six months after recording "1 Thing", Amerie and Harrison leaked it to US radio stations in an attempt to get it released officially.[1][4] The response from DJs and listeners was positive, and it consequently received airplay across the country. Columbia Records attempted to suppress the song because it was an unofficial release, and because Jennifer Lopez (another artist on the label) had expressed interest in recording the song for her own album, Rebirth.[4] Radio stations refused to retract the song from their playlists, and Columbia eventually began promoting "1 Thing" as a single, making it a last-minute addition to the Hitch soundtrack.[1] Lopez settled on another Harrison-produced, funk-infused track, the Usher outtake "Get Right".[4] The song was officially serviced to American urban radio stations on January 18, 2005.[5]"
