Jojo Siwa vs Brit Smith: The “Karma” Battle

The entire world can't seem to stop talking about Jojo Siwa and her "rebrand" from child star to adult. But, the most interesting piece of it all revolves around Jojo's entrance into the music world. Her single "Karma" was written by the iconic Desmond Child (Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, KISS), Antonina Armato (Justin Bieber, BTS, Miley Cyrus), and Tim James (Vanessa Hudgens, Aly & AJ, Selena Gomez), and produced by the latter.

At first, the song became a viral meme - a song performed so badly alongside a chaotic music video, but ultimately a pop earworm that had you humming along. Then, Brit Smith came along.

Brit Smith revealed clips of her 2012 recording of the same song, and these clips went viral on TikTok.

Smith's rendition, produced by the acclaimed Timbaland and written by the same trio, has captured the attention of millions, breathing new life into the track and restarting the music career of a woman who swore off music over a decade ago!

Now, Brit Smith's version of "Karma," titled "Karma's a Bitch," sits in the Top 5 on iTunes and the Billboard charts, while Siwa's rendition trails at No. 89.

This continues to show the unpredictable nature of the music industry and the power of the people on platforms like TikTok! Anything can happen in today's music world and your career can take off at any moment. Keep going, and remember..

What goes around comes around!
