Talk:New Day (Alicia Keys song)

Confusion
Should this song be merged into New Day (50 Cent song) as 50 Cent says that "New Day" was always his song, he sent it to Alicia Keys to record the hook, she subsequently recorded her own verses and leaked the song, but that the single was 50 cent featuring Keys & Dr. Dre? &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  00:00, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually no. Although 50 said the song was his, this version has received a lot of coverage to have its own article, so there is no need to merge it with 50 Cent's version which is similar but with a lot of differences. — ΛΧΣ  21™  02:09, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I was personally of the opinion that it should have its own article but I see with songs like I Want to Know What Love Is, Mariah Carey's popular version was demoted to a section on the main song version's page. I wondered whether this was the same for "New Day". But at the moment its definitely seems that Alicia's "unofficial version" is getting more interest than 50 Cent's. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  02:23, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup. You're right. The issue is that Alicia released her version first, and the importance order goes that way: The version that was first released is the main one, whatever the singers say. So, if we follow this rule, 50's verison should be merged here, although i'd prefer both articles separated. Also, i consider that her solo version is way way better that 50's, and that's the reason why this has received more coverage and acclaim. — ΛΧΣ  21™  03:13, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

^ I agree (though I don't agree with the comment about being released first makes it the main subject - its more to do with coverage than time). The background section is a little woolly at the moment. It seems to chronicle the events of 2010/11 but without really ever adding context to why thats important to "New Day". Also in this article we haven't touched upon any of the details 50 cent revealed. it should really be explained. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  13:53, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well i haven't touched the article in a while. If you give me some links with info to add 'I'll do it :) Otherwise, i will wait until next week to do it since im kind of busy hehe. — ΛΧΣ  21™  15:13, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Its ok. I might give the article a quick once over if that's ok? Checking references is kinda my forté and i'll add the information too. Don't worry I'm not here to stamp on anyone's parade. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  15:18, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hehe don't worry, go ahead. Just when adding citations, try to keep the same pattern the article has. I would like to have it at GA level sometime in the future :) I would appreciate your help on it. Regards. — ΛΧΣ  21™  16:26, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
