"Karma's a Bitch" is a song written by Antonina Armato, Tim James, and Desmond Child in 2011. It was recorded by Brit Smith in 2012 and was intended to be her debut single, but it was shelved.

Song
In 2011, Miley Cyrus allegedly recorded the song "Karma's a Bitch", which was written for her.[1] However, the song was scrapped due to her contract with Disney at the time.[2] It was then offered to Brit Smith, who re-recorded the song to her liking in 2012 as her planned debut single. However, her record label encouraged her to release the song "Provocative" instead in 2013. After "Provocative" underperformed, Smith left the music industry.[3][4][5]
"Karma's a Bitch" was produced by Rock Mafia and Timbaland (who also appears in the music video), in 2012 but shelved it until independently releasing it on April 14, 2024.[5][6] The recording garnered viral attention on TikTok following JoJo Siwa's April 5 release of the same year, resurfacing a March 2013 music video on Vimeo and prompting the single's official release.[7][8]
Reception
"Karma's a Bitch" garnered a positive reception online compared to Siwa's version, which was professionally released first. Smith's version received praise for its "banging hook" and production by Timbaland.[9] Additionally, Smith's version peaked at number 8 on the US iTunes Pop Charts, surpassing Siwa's which peaked at 89.[5]
Music video
The music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld, who also directed the video for Siwa's version. It was originally uploaded to Vimeo on March 20, 2013. The shots of Smith and accompanying individuals were shot prior and the graphics were later added by Super77, an animation and design studio located in Columbus, Ohio. It features Smith at a church, club and in her bedroom as she attempts to get a man back after she is caught cheating.[10]
