"Today" is an unreleased song by American recording artist Britney Spears, recorded for her demo tape and possibly intended for her debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time.

Background[]

The song is a cover of an unreleased Toni Braxton song recorded for her sophomore album "Secrets". It was offered to Spears to record for her demo tape which was presented to various record labels.

Spears rehearsed alone to Braxton's version for a week before recording it at a local studio in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Her former A&R Steve Lunt said, "she sounded really soulful and appealing. I thought maybe there was something there."[1] Label president Clive Calder said "she sounds too much like Toni Braxton" when hearing Spears' vocals on the track."[2]

In 2011, Spears later said, “I grew up listening to Toni Braxton, and now I think she has a reality show that she does. I love her.[3] Braxton replied, "thanks for the love doll! Congratulations on all of your success, I hear the tour is AMAZING! Xoxoxoxoxo :)"[4]
