True. I mean everyone conveniently forgets that 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' was originally written for S Club 7 and was also turned down by Sophie Ellis-Bextor before being offered to Kylie Minogue.

Not to take away from some of the impact Janet Jackson had on Britney Spears' career, but 'Toxic' was never written for Janet Jackson. In that widely circulated quote, Cathy Dennis clearly says: "“That was written in Sweden with Bloodshy & Avant [Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg] and Henrik Jonback. I went over there to write with Janet Jackson in mind. I was there for about ten days in total. I’d had a meeting with Janet, I think in London, but it may have been in New York. I thought I’d have a go at writing something that would work for her and it didn’t come out at the time." https://ivorsacademy.com/info_advice/perfect-pop-cathy-dennis-interview/ She then says "We did have this song Toxic, though." And 'Toxic', of course, was originally offered to Kylie Minogue. Let's not forget in that same writing session Cathy Dennis also wrote 'Sweet Dreams My La Ex", which sounds VERY similar to 'Toxic', and also wasn't written for Janet Jackson either...
