The-Dream and Christina Milian are fighting over their divorce settlement, which includes The-Dream giving the singer 10 percent of his publishing interest in Justin Bieber's hit "Baby." The-Dream co-wrote the song with Bieber, Milian, Tricky Stewart and Ludacris.

According to TMZ, Milian is attempting to renegotiate the settlement with demands for more money and a larger percentage of the "Baby" publishing rights. As a result, The-Dream is threatening to cancel the agreement altogether. This may not be possible, since documents are on file in Georgia detailing the estranged couple's settlement.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
