It’s customary in the music industry for songs to pass through many artists before landing at their final destination. And such was the case for Little Mix’s ‘Sweet Melody.’
The 2020 chart-topper has become of the British group’s most revered offerings. But, unbeknownst to most, the Tayla Parx-penned track was actually recorded by JoJo first.
When quizzed by a fan about murmurs of her recording the song, JoJo not only confirmed the speculation but also shared a lengthy audio clip of her demo version.
What are you waiting for? Listen to JoJo’s take on ‘Sweet Melody’ after the jump…
Via TikTok, JoJo posted:

And here’s the version that was released:
We’re enamored with both!
What are…
Should’ve kept the song, you dumb Jo💅🏾 No wonder she hasn’t charted with her new boring materials… she doesn’t has good ear for hit… smh
😴
FLOP!!!!!!! No hits in 12 years
Stfu her last ep is a masterpiece and breath of fresh air.
That’s generous. More like 15 years lol
I love jojo but the girl has no ear for a hit
Maybe she is happy with her status in music as this indie act that will forever tour
Agree. She needs someone else to select songs for her.
Jojo ate this up! But I love LM’s version.
Although I think this sounds fits JoJo, the song comes alive with a quartet.
No shade, but who’s she?? lmaoo
It sounds more suited as a solo venture than as a group
It would’ve made no difference wether she kept this song or not regardless of what she sings the industry just sticks to force feeding the general public the same s***. Her music is not the problem.
