There is more to writing a song than mere words and melody. Arrangement, harmonies, etc. come into play. Not to mention that unless you can see that Beyoncé got an unfair amount of royalties for changing what she did, she still changed something.
+saucyman Melody, arrangement & harmonies etc., falls under PRODUCTION. Aside from 1 word, there was NO change in the lyrics at all. Or the melody for that matter. So yes, she claim she wrote a song for changing 1 word.
such an amazing song! just heard him perform it about a week ago and its just as great in person! he is most definitely one of the best performers and singers i have ever seen!
never heard of this guy before..but when I first listened to this song,I liked it! especially his voice! He has a nice relaxing voice :) he should do more songs
this is so weird for me cause i grew up with jmac and went all through school with him. we lived right next door too each other for a long time. we played sports together and everything. it is so good to hear people say all the good things about him. he was always rather quiet and had lots of friends in school. good for him that he has had this success.
ohhhh.. I wondered what happened to this on Jon's latest album. I saw him perform it in July.. If you haven't seen Jon perform live, you should- he is AMAZING!
Beautiful song and lyrics! I had a chance so see Jon live 2 years ago at the El Rey. He opened for Duffy. Beyonce's version is beautiful as well (I'm a new fan of hers.)
No matter who sings it ... it's a beautiful song! The live version of beyoncé is so emotional and vulnerable... he sings is very touching too, they both have talent
I hear all kinds of people talk about how they love this song and how well Beyonce did it, but I heard Jon sing it first and I have to say, his voice makes this song work so well! I can't get into Beyonce's version of the song, I've tried, I just can't! Keep it up Jon, we love ya!
Peter he's amazing! He had a song in the movie with Amy Adams, Enchanted. He's married; loves his wife and Jesus. I think that maybe this isn't such an attractive package music executives want to sell. It's all about the image isn't it? He's beyond talented. I hope he has a long career doing what he loves.
Jon sings with an emotional intensity that is intimately and infinately better than Beyonce's version. I dig Beyonce just fine, but the dude's voice is perfect for the song, it literally sounds like his voice is soaked in soul when he sings this. Simply awesome.
"Smash Into You" was included during the closing credits of the motion picture "Obsessed", a film which the artist had a lead role. Originally recorded by Jon McLaughlin- "Smack Into You", it was never officially release by either artist . McLaughlin's version was supposed to appear on OK Now but was instead to be included on Beyonce's album. The Dream has re-tooled the melody so Beyoncé is listed as having writing contribution to the song having changed "Smack" into "Smash" during the chorus.
This song neeeeds to be on Spotify. Jon McLaughlin's voice is just 💖💖💖
This song is everything right now
This came first. But somehow, despite only ONE word being different Beyonce is listed as a writer. Shady.
Shady sums Bey up.
There is more to writing a song than mere words and melody. Arrangement, harmonies, etc. come into play. Not to mention that unless you can see that Beyoncé got an unfair amount of royalties for changing what she did, she still changed something.
saucyman Thank you. Please be quiet if you don't know what song writing entails to be credited.

MimiXtinaChelleKRow no. Part of song writing is melody, etc. Look it up
such an amazing song! just heard him perform it about a week ago and its just as great in person! he is most definitely one of the best performers and singers i have ever seen!

I really hope Jon's version is heard!!
how come this guy is not that famous, or is it me who's ignorant and didn't found out about him earlier???
he's insanely talented.
Peter he's amazing! He had a song in the movie with Amy Adams, Enchanted. He's married; loves his wife and Jesus. I think that maybe this isn't such an attractive package music executives want to sell. It's all about the image isn't it? He's beyond talented. I hope he has a long career doing what he loves.
i
so so true!
i like the two versions !!!
my fave!!!
Gotta say, this is my favorite song from him. Too bad it didn't get released on his CD.
That's why she is the last one credited, because she did only change one word.
This makes me want the LORD ever more and forget everyone else and even that the world exist. Just a moment with me and my LORD:)
man.....I love his version!!! I wish he'd kept that song..
Are you serious? If you can, please request it!!! Jon's version has to be heard. Maybe they'll release it officially in the future
If you ever wanted to tell a girl how much you loved her then this song says it all.
Have to Respect Good music Jon Did his Thing..
Um...There's no need to dislike her just because she didn't write the song. She does write most of her songs, but she has songs written by others.
His version is so beautiful!
Simple awesome.
Jon sings with an emotional intensity that is intimately and infinately better than Beyonce's version. I dig Beyonce just fine, but the dude's voice is perfect for the song, it literally sounds like his voice is soaked in soul when he sings this. Simply awesome.
This is breathtaking. His voice soars over this wonderful melody. Better than Beyonce's version IMO, though i did enjoy her take as well.
"Smash Into You" was included during the closing credits of the motion picture "Obsessed", a film which the artist had a lead role.

Credit to whoever wrote it but I gotta say this guys version is better than beyonce no doubt about it
