Rooney: The track, I shouldn't even say this, originally, the actual track for that – not the music, not the lyrics, but the actual track – was originally done for Mariah Carey by Diddy. She rejected it, Mariah. She didn't like the track. So those things become tracks that I have, Puffy has, and when you work with artists as a producer, you don't throw it away because one artist doesn't want it – you pitch it again. So he pitched it to Jennifer, or maybe I did. It was like a more broken-down version of the song. Then we sent what we wrote to Diddy, he embellished, build the track up even more once he realized there was interest. That track bounced back and forth. Lyrically, Jennifer and I, it was based on most of her days, how she feels.

Not Feelin' So Good originally done for Mariah.  :plzstop:

This ain't a classic album, but If You Had My Love and Waiting for Tonight were cute.
