Trivia / Mary J. Blige

• Creator Breakdown: My Life was a very personal album for her, in which she addressed her state of unhappiness and pain dealing with clinical depression, addiction to drugs and alcohol, and being in an abusive relationship.
• Development Hell: Her Nina Simone biopic was stuck here for more than half a decade, before finally being made with Zoe Saldaña in the lead role.
• What Could Have Been: Blige was originally supposed to sing David Guetta's "Titanium", written by Sia, but at the last minute, Guetta released Sia's version against her permission. Blige's recording can still be heard here.
