0304
''0304'' is the fifth studio album by American singer Jewel, released on June 3, 2003, by Atlantic Records. Inspired by the sudden success of scoring a number one on the US '' Billboard'' Hot Dance Club Play chart with " Serve the Ego"—the final single from her previous album, '' This Way''—in early November 2002, Jewel decided to make a radical departure from her previous folk-oriented musical efforts and recorded a dance album. Background Within the liner notes to ''0304'', Jewel includes a note to her fans, explaining, "This album may seem different to you." According to Jewel, the album is a result of her desire to create a "modern interpretation of big band music. A record that slyric-driven, like Cole Porter stuff, that also has a lot of swing...that combined dance, urban, and folk music." For the album, Jewel teamed with producers Lester Mendez (Shakira, Enrique Iglesias) and Rick Nowels ( Madonna). Critical reception ''0304'' received generally positive review ...

Billboard (magazine)
''Billboard'' (stylized as ''billboard'') is an American music and entertainment magazine published weekly by Penske Media Corporation. The magazine provides music charts, news, video, opinion, reviews, events, and style related to the music industry.

Foolish Games
"Foolish Games" is a song by American singer-songwriter Jewel from her debut studio album, ''Pieces of You'' (1995). It was also the third single to be lifted from the '' Batman & Robin'' motion-picture soundtrack. Jewel re-recorded the single for the soundtrack to produce a more radio-friendly version, similar to her other singles "Who Will Save Your Soul" and " You Were Meant for Me". This version is shorter than the album version by one verse. The song details the frustration and agony of knowing that the intensity of one's love is not reciprocated by one's lover. A CD single for the song was not issued in the United States, but a re-released version of the "You Were Meant for Me" CD single had a hidden bonus track of the single version of "Foolish Games". Because of this, instead of debuting and charting on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the traditional way, "Foolish Games" was able to continue the chart life of "You Were Meant for Me". The latter, which had peaked at number tw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

"You Were Meant for Me" is a song written by Steve Poltz and American singer-songwriter Jewel and performed by Jewel on her first album, ''Pieces of You'' (1995). It relates the singer's incomprehension of a failed relationship and her inadequate attempts at moving on with her life.

Billboard Hot 100
The ''Billboard'' Hot 100 is the music industry standard record chart in the United States for songs, published weekly by '' Billboard'' magazine. Chart rankings are based on sales (physical and digital), radio play, and online streaming in the United States.
