Ariana Grande is known for many things, being a Nickelodeon kid, a Broadway star but above everything else she’s known as a stellar singer-songwriter.

But it’s recently been revealed that her debut album was in fact not meant for her! Turns out it was a kind of pass-me-down. The Album “Yours Truly” was first written for the winner of the 6^th season of American Idol Jordin Sparks.

The man behind the 2013 hit Harmony Samuels who produced the song said Jordin Sparks is "the blueprint behind who" Ariana is.

“While I was doing that album for [Fantasia], I was working on those records for Ariana Grande, but they weren’t Ariana Grande records — they were Jordin Sparks records.” He continued “Jordin Sparks is the originator of those records and the blueprint behind who Ari is now. My vision was for Jordin to be that person. Unfortunately, RCA didn’t see the value in what I was producing for Jordin, and they proceeded to go in a different direction.”  And eventually the album went to Ariana.

And that kids is how Ariana became Ariana Grande, say Thank You Jordin Sparks.
