Co-writer Confirms Brit Wrote Song For Adnan
Nicole Morier of the band Electrocute has confirmed what we already knew here at JFX—Britney Spears wrote the song “Mmm Papi” for Adnan Ghalib. Morier helped Brit write the song, which appears on the new “Circus” album, and told Us Weekly that it’s “about someone. I’m sure you can guess.” The lyrics include “You love it when I’m freaking out / Things get rough and there’s no doubt / You will always be there for me.”
Although Britney and Adnan have not been seen together in public in quite awhile, there have been rumors that they are still in contact and are still dating. Brit’s been seen recently wearing a ring that Adnan gave her which matches his own.

Britney Spears Mmm Papi Lyrics
Baby
I can be your sweet baby
When things get crazy
Make sure you come and save me (save me)
With this fast car
I can really get far
And don’t brake my heart
Let’s make out (let’s make out!let’s make out!)
You can come take me away
There’s no pressure play all day
Hold me tight and don’t let go!
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
You love it when I’m freakin’ out
Things get rough and there’s no doubt
You will always be there for me
mmm Papa love you
mmm Papa love you
Stuck in
the middle of it all
To many people around me
Can you hear me call?
I look this way
And you’re not there
If you dont mind
My soul out there
Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa
You can come take me away
There’s no pressure play all day
Hold me tight and don’t let go!
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
You love it when I’m freakin’ out
Things get rough and there’s no doubt
You will always be there for me
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papi
Mmm Papi, Mmm Papi, Mmm Papi
Mmm Luvi, Mmm Luvi, Mmm Papi
You love it when I’m freakin’ out
Things get and there’s no doubt
You love it when I’m freakin’ out
Things get and there’s no doubt
You can come take me away
There’s no pressure play all day
Hold me tight and don’t let go!
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
You love it when I’m freakin’ out
Things get rough and there’s no doubt
You will always be there for me
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
Now see
I’m mommy
And that make you Papi
And that makes us Luvi
Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa
Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa
Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa

You may be right gg.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Listen,
I know I’ve been a massive douche by saying certain bad things about Adnan.
I apologize, okay.
It’s just that as a Britney fan, I’m always skeptical about anyone she’s shown interest in because I don’t want her to get used and hurt like she’s been several times already.
I want her to be happy. And…here, I’ll admit it:
I can grow to love Adnan as long as he truly loves Britney and doesn’t hurt her at all. For crying out loud, I loved Kevin AFTER they were dating. But it took time.
That didn’t turn out so well, lol.
I’m not hateful; I’m just a cynic.
If they are together or get back together…he’ll grow on me.
Sorry again.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
She only wrote two songs on the album, btw, guys.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I know, I know, I’m delusional – but I just have one quick question.
Has anyone ever thought that Britney really may not care what a “fan” thinks, approves of, is skeptical about?
I would go so far to even ask why anyone would take the time to disapprove of someone they most likely will never meet in real life, but, I won’t…
I think there is a thin line between love and hate = fan and stalker.
You can grow to love someone? Oh thank heavens for that! God forbid you don’t!! You mean you actually accepted Kevin?!?! GASP!!! OMG!!!
November 19th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
You grew on me DOC… XOXO!
November 19th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Me? or my Plus 1?
November 19th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Gigi, I also think you are right. “Unusual You” is a song that comes to mind
Yoyo, if you stop and really take a look at Adnan, I don’t think he has hurt her. If anything he’s helped her. That has been my opinion for awhile. And I didn’t see him walking away from her when she was at her worst. I haven’t seen him selling her out either. If he was that type of guy, he would have already done it.
November 19th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Well, I always thought he was a good’un, right from the start. Maybe it was wishful thinking, maybe it was just a sense…im glad to say he does seem to have proved himself to be someone who has genuinely cared and looked out for Brit. I just wish the rest of the public could see him like that and stop slating him.
November 19th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
um Ronnie? Unusual You? c’mon ‘fess. Who else could it be written to?
As for which songs Britney wrote — she had input into all of them yes? Who else could she be singing to?
MT – doc is one of my favorite characters here.
November 19th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Yes Am that is the one I was talking about. Even if she didn’t write that one doesnt mean it is not for him.
Yes I like most of the characters here also. Only when they act up and get holier than thou do I have a problem with some.
Yoyo tring not to get slammed into the wall again. kerplunk!!

Britney Spears wrote a special track for her former pap boyfriend Adnan Ghalib on her forthcoming CD Circus (out Dec. 2nd) as a “gift to him,” according to sources.
Nicole Morier of the band Electrocute – who helped Brit pen the song Mmm Papi – confesses to Us Weekly that the song is “about someone. I’m sure you can guess.”
Not that hard to guess with lyrics like – “You love it when I’m freaking out / Things get rough and there’s no doubt / You will always be there for me”
The insider spills to the magazine, adding that Spears, 26, “is crazy for Adnan,” whom she publicly dated for about three months last winter.
A source close to Ghalib claims the two are in “constant contact” and the they never stopped dating. I hope it’s not true but these Britney still seeing Adnan rumors just keep popping up.
As for Spears’ upcoming tour, her father, Jamie, is going to do his best to keep things professional without any undue influences on his daughter, by requiring that all her dancers to submit to drug tests. She might not have meet K-Fed in the first place if that little measure had been applied in the past.’

“MH 11:34 pm”
IF there would be any song on Circus who are directed to Adnan <3, it would be “Unusual you”.
But will know for sure..
Its one of the best songs on the record, and I think her voice come to its right in this song.
Unusual You Official Full HQ + Lyrics – Britney Spears
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PZZ4hjFHCo
(lyrics in the right side of the corner on the info “more”)
“Unusual you” is not a new song.
Britney took it with in on the record, so it must mean something special for her <3 (and I´m almost 100% sure it cant be Kevin Federline she think of
)
IF there is a song where she send a message it would be that song.

November 20th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Weel, I put in the lyrics for those who not are able to find it.
[Verse 1]
Nothing about you, is typical
Nothing about you is predictable
You got me all, just da and confused (It’s so you)
Up til’ now I thought I knew love
Nothing to lose, and it’s damaged ’cause,
I learned to fall, as quick as I do,
(But now)
[Pre-cho]rus]
Bridges are burning, baby I’m learnin’
A new way of thinking now’
Love I can see, nothing will be, just like it was,
Is that because…
[Chorus]
Baby, you’re so unusual,
Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to
Break my heart, I expect you to, so why havent you?
Maybe you’re not even human ’cause, only an angel could be so unusual,
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You
(Haaaaa, haaaaa)
(Haaaaa, haaaaa)
[Verse 2]
There’s so many things, when I was someone else
Boxer in the ring, tryin’ to defend myself
And the private eyes, to see what’s goin’ on
(That’s long gone)
When I’m with you, I can just be myself
You’re always where, you said you will be (Be!)
Shocking cause I, never knew love like this
(Cut excess)
[Pre-chorus]
Tables are turnin’, my heart is soarin’
You’ll never let me down..
Answer the call, here afterall
Never met anyone, like you
[Chorus]
Baby, you’re so unusual,
Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to
Break my heart, I expect you to, so why havent you?
Maybe you’re not even human ’cause, only an angel could be so unusual,
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You
(Haaaaa, haaaaa)
(Haaaaa, haaaaa)
[Bridge]
I can’t believe that I, almost didn’t try
(When you called my name)
Now everything, has changed
[Chorus]
Hey baby, you’re so unusual,
Didn’t anyone tell you, you’re supposed to (To)
Break my heart, I expect you to, so why havent you?
Maybe you’re not even human ’cause, only an angel could be so unusual,
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You
(Haaaaa, haaaaa)
(Haaaaa, haaaaa)

So, who to believe now? Perez Hilton site with a direct quote who, lets face it, has just come out of a lawsuit type thing with Britney, so I guess he has to be cautious. Or this site? Im totally confused now…..

Just because someone was not seen doesnt mean the meaning is not there. I believe this site 100%

Another thing is I’m not sure she would be talking about making out with her dad and about his fast car.

Stupid Question #2 (as I’m allowed one per day)
How does “it’s about someone, i’m sure you can guess” translate into a confirmation.
Just askin’
November 20th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Who generated the story and to what purpose? Did US Weekly even publish the story?
I believe in A & B and the two songs.
I believe in JFXonline.
I believe there are haters who will spin almost anything into a negative. They haven’t had much to chew in their cud since Adnan steppped up in Star and on Ryan Seacrest.
The lyrics can not be denied. I preach to the choir.

Me and Britney..One More Time
Current mood: giddy
Hey friends. I’m really excited to announce that I have another song coming out with the one and only Miss Britney Spears. This time I actually wrote the song with her!
It’s titled “Mmm Papi” and is a super fun up-beat track with handclaps, funky guitars and dirty bass licks. I’ll leave to ponder exactly what’s the song about till it is officially released on the album “Circus” which drops Dec. 2nd.
Britney and I spent last Spring and Summer writing several other tracks some of which will be released as bonus tracks or at a latter date. One banging song called “Rock Me In” that we wrote with my good friend Greg Kurstin will definitely be on the iTunes bonus and International CD bonus track.
Love Nicole
p.s. she was super sweet and really fun to work, with as well as a total pro.
November 20th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Did Perez make it up?
November 20th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
He’s been so sweet lately.
November 20th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
I’ve been waiting to see if anyone was going to say anything about the title of this post. Thank You!
Shaking head at JFX.
November 20th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
MH, I’m sorry but can you clarify what you’re asking of us?
November 20th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
I wasn’t asking anything of you, Ronnie. I was just waiting to see if anyone was going to notice or comment on the title of this post.
The title claims a confirmation. I’ve yet to see any confirmation that backs the title. I was shaking my head at JFX cause it hardly seems your style and it’s disappointing to think that you guys might be changing the program a little.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Well I dont think they have changed any at all. Still same ole fun loving guys that we all love. They told us about it long ago from what I remember and actually told us it anywhere else. Do you really think pops will let anyone in that camp confirm it? With the inside track going on here I would think all the regulars would not have any questions.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Dear Doc,
Shut up idiot.
Love Always,
Doc

My therapist suggested that I write personal love letters to myself in the event I feel any urges to release extreme sarcastic statements.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I thought it was a useful post.
JFX operates within a certain parameter. It must.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Confirm works for me MH. J reported what others were reporting and that was just reporting on what J had already told us.
There haven’t been any love interests outside of Adnan that would leave Nicole to suggest we could guess who.
November 20th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Ah. Got it.
So no, we’re not changing our story. US Weekly ran it, we’ve got our own sources and have heard the song, allegedly. Taken together, it really comes down to who you believe I suppose. It’s not shocking to see a hired writer with a bright future back track on her statement. I just can’t figure out why she chose Perez to run it. Oh yeah, I can. But I’m sure you can all figure that out without me!
Doc, my therapist urged me to act out. It’s new to me but it seems to be working pretty good so far.
Thanks AM.

It’s okay if you do gigi
I made a point to boycott Perez and X a long time ago.
November 20th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
I probably have been on other sites once or twice in the last two weeks. I get tired of wading through all the junk and just dont go there like I did a year ago.
November 20th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
I don’t like the Perez website and rarely visit. I do like the skepticism revealed in that last post re Mmmm Papi. “We think the song may actually be about…..her papi, Jamie! Duh.”
JFX is my community but I look at other sites for info.
Shall we do a survey? lol. Free demographics and user habits for all.

“Co-writer Confirms Brit Wrote Song For Adnan”
The title is false.
I felt the title was bent as soon as it was posted and waited to see if anyone was going to comment on it. I don’t care if the writer changed her tune or not. My point is that you took her original statement and bent the words. The title is false, as that is not what she said. She may have implied it, but that’s hardly a confirmation.
I don’t question your sources (and I’m not talking about US Weekly). I question the way you bent her statement.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
I still stand behind our guys. I know how to read between the lines as do some others. You are free to believe what you want and so am I.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
I do visit TMZ and BH
oh and the People site. LOL.
I boycott Perez because he has a mean streak to him that I don’t like. There are other reasons, but that’s the main one.
I boycott X because of the hate in the comments. I don’t mind different opinions. It’s the unnecessary hatefull comments that I don’t like.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
small I am not pushing X but you don’t have to look at the comments. BH usually has whatever X is going to run with anyway but sometimes Jordan runs late.
I also like to peek at X’s tone in a write up. TMZ is far less interesting due to their current approach and writer.
If anything is going on BH usually has it. There are others that have it too but I can’t stand their tranny formats. Jordan has it too as soon as you look at comments. Jordan I hate that picture above the comments. I always see you as a trans dresser in that pic and nothing of Britney.
You never know who is looking over here.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
MH read between the lines or check email.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
TMZ I go for legal stuff. I don’t like their writing either.
I’m well aware I can avoid the comments at X, but it’s too tempting to avoid if I visit. So I don’t visit. Does it make sense?
November 20th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
yes small lol
November 20th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
TMZ has been behind the game of late on legal docs.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Just taking a peek X is desperate today. No news that is any news.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
p.s. small. If you have the right attitude the comments are predictable and silly.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
What’s particularly amusing small is if you pick up that many comments are by one poster, trying to make it look like there is a conversation.
Sorry. I just peeked over there (my alternate is to finish cleaning the bathroom for guests) and it was amusing.

November 20th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Whatever at this point.
Nicole should know, she co-wrote the song.
Unusual You was NOT written by Britney at all.
Most of Britney’s songs aren’t about anyone.
She was dating Justin when she sang “Boys.”
Besides, she does say in her special that she was hanging with bad people because she was lonely last year.
Just saying.
I still don’t know why hiding a relationship would be beneficial for either one of them.
IF he is seen with her again, ever, the press will have a field day about how she didn’t take recovery seriously since Adnan not being around her has confirmed the public’s thought that he was part of her problem.
He could’ve/should’ve just stayed around her publicly while she was trying to get well because then neither one of them would be a negative target at this point. And people would see the good in him.
The hiding and coming out of hiding would be BAD for the both of them. You can say “Britney doesn’t care about what her fans think” but she does. They’re her bread and butter.
Nicole could’ve just left it alone as a rumor, but didn’t. People were still gonna buy the album.
Also, umm, she can’t continually talk smack about the paparazzi and be involved with someone who stalked her for years.
November 20th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Yo! Yoyo!…
Yes! Fans are a large percentage of her bread and butter, however I’m sure most of her investments in other ventures are enough to sustain her for a lifetime! Nevertheless, my opinion of her not caring about the opinion of fans was directed towards people who seem to think their sole view on what she should or should not do holds weight in her day-to-day or lifelong decisions. So you did not like Adnan? SO WHAT?!!? Have you seen any recent polls by Britney polling her fans on WHO she should date? Her life is her life. Keyword: HERS not yours.
Why can’t fans just throttle back, buy/download a CD, and enjoy! You are not in Britney’s head! You don’t know who the songs were written for/about. The songwriter did not clarify, so who knows. Better yet, who cares! If we continue to care about this….invisible “relationship” 6,9 months, a year down the road from now, I’ll need to refer a few of you to my therapist.
I mean really peeps, it’s almost 2009!
Read between that!
November 21st, 2008 at 2:57 am
Thank you AM. I saw that earlier.
Doc, about the poll asking who Britney should date, I joked about that elsewhere. lol. I get you.

It maybe come as a shock to you, but we KNOW that “Unusual you” is an “old” song.
I find it NOT nesserly to write all data about the song. I was sure of theat the readers here know how to find it, you tube, google and so on.
The meaning with my comment was that Britney, or/and her co-operators have choice this song to be on her new record Cirkus.
The rest is speculations.
But it sure would be nice if the song is about her feelings for a person she new.
And I hope it is for Adnan.
IF !
IF they have feelings for eatch other.
