Paula DeAnda - "When It Was Me"

[Live Your Life]

This was released as a single from 2006's Paula DeAnda. Ne-Yo was a co-writer on the song. It failed to make the Hot 100, but peaked at #25 at rhythmic. This sounds very dated now, but I like the conversational lyrics.



Here's Ne-Yo's reference track, it has that 2006 Stargate sound:

It was a pretty song. Kinda relatable too. It's too bad she never got to released a second album. I would have like to see where she would have developed as an artist.
