“The Way” by Ariana Grande
It was the song that would take Ariana Grande from Nickelodeon star to superstar. “The Way” went double platinum and was a top ten hit, but Streeter says that the song almost ended up in the hands of another talented singer:
“That song kind of came out of nowhere. Me, Jordin Sparks, and [Al Sherrod Lambert] wrote that together for Jordin. When I was on the road, I got a phone call like, ‘Hey, Ariana Grande cut the song and it’s gold.’ Then I got another phone call, ‘The song is platinum.’ It’s like getting a present and it’s not even your birthday.”
