Background

The soundtrack featured 13 songs including works from popular artists, such as Lady Gaga, Jessie James Decker, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Kat DeLuna, Shontelle, Akon, The Pussycat Dolls, Natasha Bedingfield, Trey Songz, Greg Laswell and Macy Gray. [1] The album also features a suit composed by James Newton Howard. [1]

"Fashion" was originally written by Gaga with music producer-songwriter RedOne in 2007, and the latter gave the song to Heidi Montag; [2] a leaked version featuring her vocals had received poor response, which prompted the team to re-record it with Gaga. [3] [4] Initially the album was set to be featured in the soundtrack of Sex and the City (2008), but it was then featured in the third season of Ugly Betty in the episode "Bad Amanda", and then again in this film's soundtrack, releasing as a single on January 13, 2009. After, Gaga's version released, Montag in 2022, called out Gaga for allegedly stealing that song and sabotaging her career, [5] despite the negative response for her version. [6] [7]

The song "Unstoppable" by Kat Deluna was released as the second single on January 22, 2009. [8] The song "Stuck with Each Other" by Shonette featuring Akon was released as a single on February 10, 2009. [9] The fourth single, "Bad Girl" was released on the same date. It was originally recorded by Rihanna and Chris Brown but their version was scrapped in favor of a version performed by the Pussycat Dolls. [10] [11]

Reception

Eric Schneider of AllMusic described the album as a compilation of accessible, consumer-themed pop tracks that align closely with the film's retail-centric narrative and tone. He highlighted Lady Gaga's "sassy" track, "Fashion", and Adrienne Bailon's "enthusiastically materialistic" rendition of "Big Spender". [12] Michael Quinn of BBC noted that the soundtrack scores considerably higher than Sex and the City. [13]
