I’d Give It All Away

“I’d Give It All Away” is a unreleased song from Victoria Beckham from her 2nd Album Sessions

Lyrics:

I got this feeling and it’s driving me wild
I haven’t seen you for a little while
I got this feeling and it just won’t go away (just won’t go away)

Then you came
And showed me
How to love this way
But there’s one thing
That I should let you know

I’d give it all away (I’d give it all away)
I’d sacrifice everything (I’d sacrifice everything)
With every beat of my heart
Like you i couldn’t breathe
I feel like we’re meant to be (I feel like we’re meant to be)
I’m falling in love again (I’m falling in love again)
Holding me close in your arms
With you is where i should be

Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be

Feels like I’m dreaming and I can’t wake up
We have forever but it’s never enough
Feels like I’m dreaming cos I can’t believe it’s real

You taught me
And showed me
How to love this way
But there’s one thing
I ought to let you know

I’d give it all away (I’d give it all away)
I’d sacrifice everything (I’d sacrifice everything)
With every beat of my heart
Like you i couldn’t breathe
I feel like we’re meant to be (I feel like we’re meant to be)
I’m falling in love again (I’m falling in love again)
Holding me close in your arms
With you is where i should be

Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be

Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be

Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be
Where I should be

Album:

The song was to be released in Beckham’s second studio album, that was scrapped. The leak from the album, named “Open Your Heart”, come online in 2006.

Background:

In 2002, Beckham signed a contract with Telstar Records and 19 Management worth £1.5 million. Beckham then began recording a pop-influenced album, Open Your Eyes, which yielded the single “Let Your Head Go”, but she allegedly chose not to release the album after being disappointed with the results. Instead of pop, Beckham wanted a more urban sound and worked with urban producer Damon Dash to work on the R&B and hip hop influenced album Come Together. A Dash-produced track “It’s That Simple” featuring M.O.P. premiered on radio stations in July 2003, generating mixed reviews.

In May 19, 2003, her  long-time collaborator, Richard “Biff” Stannard, mastered mixes for “I’d Give It All Away” (ASCAP Work #370590255) and “I Should Have Know Better” (ASCAP Work #391119654), tracks produced by him, as he reveled on a Instagram post.

According to ASCAP, the alternative title is “Give It All Away”.

With the UK media describing her solo music career a failure, combined with a rumored fall-out between Dash and Fuller, her hip hop album, Come Together, was not released. She was dismissed from Telstar when the company became bankrupt, and gave up music to focus her fashion career.
