I feel like this song was kind of the blueprint, and then every EDM song after it adopted the same formula:

Maybe I'm just deluding myself, but that's the timeline in my head. Anyway, EDM is such a wide genre that you can't really put it in a box. There's so many EDM subgenres that I love (especially deep house), but it's the David Guetta / Zedd formula that got tired real quick. K-Pop, for example, has so much good EDM:

The deep house section (@2:00) is just *chef's kiss*. There's no s-xier genre than deep house. It does things to my body that no other genre does. MASTERPIECE:

I was watching this very interesting video on what happened to dub step specifically. Very interesting - I should definitely explore the history of EDM. And while Zedd and David Guetta and them were not the pioneers of EDM, I agree that their formula was really a blueprint for western artists 

I actually like house! And house inspired music

 

Actually, the instrumental for the demo got reworked for this track. Myah was involved in this track too.

 oh wow more EDM my favourite

[ConnectedColor]

Yeah this literally confirms Myah is the one on the final album. When she did the Q&A with BreatheHeavy years ago she said that there was a demo she did that did not had the second verse and that "she believed that was what Britney and Anthony wrote". This demo has a big instrumental track and then the verse 1 repeats.

Those “whoa oh oh oh’s” at the end of the track. They’re NOT in the final version. But I KNOW I’ve heard them in another track. Which one is it? It’s bothering me!

[Kletus]

This demo should be called Head Ache

Damn, it's surprising how many pots Myah has her hands in. She's even been credited on quite a bit of K-Pop hits too. Lol, I saw the name Havana Brown, and it immediately made so much sense. She just screams generic club bangers. We Run the Night kinda slapped, though.

Didn't catch those until now and those are Myah's so, OMG.

I’ve always liked Body Ache I never understood the hate, I just wish Britney sang more of it lol because it’s sadly like 85% Myah. 
 

Like someone mentioned the final version of BJ is pretty much a bunch of reject demos from other artists mixed with a few of the original concept songs. I really wonder what Britney’s full original vision sounded like!

[anakinskywalker]

This song is a crime against humanity

The entire album should be erased from Britney's amazing discography

[Gaydar]

There's some additional vocal layers on the BJ version but it's probably still all Myah.

If Britney has any vocals on this track they're buried because the lead is definitely Myah.

This also explains the weird key shift in the second verse given the song's arrangement changed and they deleted the male vocal.

[IJustWannaLurk]

Ewwwwwwwwww the ******* sick synths were the only good part of the original. I like that song for the heavy synth and would prob listen to it more often if it were Britney's vocals. This demo is horrific.

It is...as far as im concerned

[Korb]

The fact that they approached Britney Spears with this garbage is a disgrace and disrespectful to her legacy.

[frank194]

It's sucks...

[Slave4Godney350]

Always hated this song 

[Quincy G]

I only acknowledge Work B, Alien, and Don't Cry from Britney Jean....

@IamMax @Avatar Myah said "the second verse was left open for Britney and Anthony Preston to write." In this demo, the first verse is repeated twice; lyrics for the second verse were indeed written later. As for the instrumental, there are obvious major musical differences—nine writers total for the final version.

@Gaydar @lustwecantcontrol @Arthurfleck I've listened carefully, and it sounds like the final Britney Jean version has some thin extra vocal layer (or simply additional vocal manipulation). The final version does have its own second verse (different lyrics and altered tone). Myah Marie appears to be predominant in the track (she confirmed "background vocals" on some of her own portals), but the jury's still out there about Britney's voice mixed in it, albeit lower.
