Years later, she also admitted that she regretted recording the song.〔 ==Background== In early 2010, Kardashian was introduced to hitmaker The-Dream (who previously worked on Rihanna's "Umbrella," and Beyoncé's "Single Ladies") by singer Ciara. Later that year, in September/October, 2010, he reached out to her to pitch an idea and create a debut single for her; she was reluctant at first and sought advice from friends like Kanye West and others who work in the industry "They gave me good advice. They asked me what I do for fun, and I said, 'I go shopping, I hang out with friends.' And was told, 'We go to the studio for fun. Come have fun with us. Don't think too much about it.'" so after a lot of thinking she accepted the challenge. A month later, rumors surfaced the internet that Kardashian had been hitting the studio with The-Dream. A source told People magazine that "they're working on some fun music," and a source reported to TMZ that "Kim's got a really good voice." "I'm the one that actually called her to do it," The-Dream revealed during an interview with Sway Calloway. "This was very, very -- believe it or not -- a very fun moment for me. It's one of my lightest musical moments. () It wasn't about kicking off a singing career; it was us really having the power of TV and goofing off.". Kim alluded to her musical side project on Twitter over the holidays, writing, "2011 is all about trying new things and going for it! I'm starting mine () something fun and crazy!". She first premiered the song in December 31, 2010, at a New Year's Eve party at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas. In a video that captured the song's unveiling, Kardashian is seen giving the crowd a brief introduction before launching into the new song; "I didn't mean to, but I did this song with The-Dream, and it's really fun! I hope you guys like it!" she told the crowd. Reportedly titled "Turn It Up" and written by The Dream and Tricky Stewart, the song features a steady dance beat, R&B-inflected pop production by The-Dream and a percussion-heavy breakdown, in which he can be heard backing up Kardashian's airy vocals on the chorus of the track. After much anticipation, 3 months later the song was premiered during ''On Air with Ryan Seacrest'', on March 2, 2011, and was set to be released the same day on iTunes, but it was only released two days later due to unknown issues, on Friday, March 4. Kardashian also revealed that a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the song will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The single made its television premiere during the March 6, 2011 episode of ''Kourtney & Kim Take New York'', titled ''Dream a Little Dream,'' in which you can see from the very beginning when Kardashian receives an unexpected offer to record a song with The Dream and her insecurity towards the whole process, and her sister Kourtney's advice to go for it. When asked if an album is in the works, Kardashian replied: "There's no album in the works or anything – just one song we did for the show, and a video Hype Williams directed, half of the proceeds we're giving away to a cancer foundation, because The-Dream's and one of my parents passed away from cancer. It's just all having fun – with a good cause". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jam (Turn It Up)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
