The song had a polarizing reaction as while it peaked at number 58 on theBillboardHot 100,it was also panned by audiences andmusic critics,many of whom considered it "amongthe worst songs ever made".[4][5][6]In 2013, Black released a follow up single "Saturday"(withDave Days) to similar commercial success and marginally improved reception.[7]Her debut studio albumLet Her Burn—preceded by twoextended plays—was released in February 2023 to generally favorable reviews.[8]
Early life
Rebecca Renee Black was born on June 21, 1997, inIrvine, California.[9]She is the daughter of John Jeffery Black and Georgina Marquez Kelly, bothveterinarians.[10][11]Her mother is a Mexican emigrant,[12]and her father, originally fromIowa,[13]is of English, Italian, and Polish descent.[14][15]Black attended private school from kindergarten to 6th grade, and moved to a public school due to bullying. She joined the school'smusical theaterprogram, where she felt she was "meant to be". In April 2011,[13]Black dropped out in favor of homeschooling, citing a need to focus on her career.[16]Black has said that she was also failing English class due to her busy schedule.[13]
Career
2010–2011: "Friday"
In late 2010, a classmate of Black and music video client of Los Angeles record labelARK Music Factorytold her about the company.[17]Black's mother paid US$4,000 for ARK Music to produce the music video while the Blacks retained ownership of both the master and the video.[10][18]The single, "Friday",written entirely by ARK, was released on YouTube andiTunes.The song's video was uploaded to YouTube on February 10, 2011, and received approximately 1,000 views in the first month. The video wentviralon March 11, acquiring millions of views on YouTube in a matter of days, becoming the most discussed topic onsocial networkingsite Twitter,[19]and garnering mostly negative media coverage.[20]The single was released on March 14, with first-week sales estimated to be around 40,000 byBillboard.[21]On March 22, Black appeared onThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno,during which she performed the song and discussed the negative reaction to it.[22]The song peaked on theBillboardHot 100and theNew Zealand Singles Chartat numbers 58 and 33, respectively.[23][24]In the UK, the song debuted at number 61 on theUK Singles Chart.[25]In response to the YouTube video of "Friday", Black began to receive phone and email death threats,[26]which were investigated by the Anaheim Police Department.[27]Black teamed up withFunny or DieonApril Fools' Day2011 (when the comedy site was renamed Friday or Die) for a series of videos, including one about the underage teens driving a car in her "Friday" video.[28]She signed to manager Debra Baum's DB Entertainment, reportedly withRyan Seacrest's help.[29]
Black stated that she is a fan ofJustin Bieber,and expressed interest in performing a duet with him.[30]MTV selected Black to host its first online awards show, the O Music Awards Fan Army Party, in April 2011.[31]As an homage to "Friday", Black appeared in the music video forKaty Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)",[32]in which Black plays alongside Perry as the hostess of a party Perry attends. Acover versionof "Friday" was performed onGleein the second-season episode, "Prom Queen".When asked about why the song was covered onGlee,show creatorRyan Murphyreplied, "The show pays tribute to pop culture and, love it or hate it, that song is pop culture."[33]
With more than 167 million views and more than 3,190,000 "dislikes"[34]during its first four months, prior to its temporary removal.[35],"Friday" was revealed as YouTube's No. 1 video of 2011, with Black hosting a short video calledYouTube Rewindin the year-end recap.[36][37]
Not long after the "Friday" video went viral on YouTube, Black and her mother, Georgina Kelly, got into legal issues with ARK Music over rights to the song. In a letter from Kelly's lawyer to ARK Music on March 29, 2011, it was alleged that ARK Music failed to fulfill the terms of their November 2010 agreement by not giving her the song and video's master recordings, by claiming Black as exclusively signed to the label, and by exploiting the song without permission – for example, selling a "Friday"ringtone.While Ark founder (and "Friday" co-writer) Patrice Wilson stated that Kelly "will get the masters and the song [...] [t]hey can have it all", and agreed that Black was not exclusive to Ark, his attorney claimed that Ark owns the copyright for the song and the November agreement is invalid.[38]In June 2011, ARK Music Factory started charging$2.99(equivalent to $4.05 in 2023) to watch the music video on YouTube.[39]Later that month, "Friday" was removed as a result of the legal dispute; it was restored to YouTube on September 16, 2011, on Black's official channel.[40]After the fallout withARK Music Factory,Black started anindependent record labelnamed RB Records.[41]
2011–2015: Early songs and covers
Black released a self-produced single titled "My Moment"on July 18, 2011, the first on her label, with an accompanying music video published to her YouTube channel the same day.[42]In the video, director Morgan Lawley features real life footage of Black from both before and after the popularization of "Friday".[43]In late October 2011, production began on the music video for Black's third single, "Person of Interest".[44]About the song, Black stated "The basis of it is that it's a love song but it's not alovesong. It's about almost teenage crushes – when you're not in love yet but you really like a guy – which I'm really excited about because I don't think there are too many out like that. It's very much a dance type song. It will make you get up and dance and sing along in your car. "[45]The single and its accompanying music video were released on November 15, 2011.[46]Black released two more singles in 2012: "Sing It"in May,[47]and "In Your Words"in November.[48][49][50]Black was planning to release her debut studio album in late 2011, which she said would include "a bunch of different kinds of stuff."[51]The album was being recorded at a studio belonging to music producer Charlton Pettus.[52]However, the album was never released. Black was featured in anABCPrimetime Nightline: Celebrity Secretsspecial entitledUnderage and Famous: Inside Child Stars' Lives.[53]
In 2012, Black signed onto theMaker StudiosYouTube network.[54]She was also brought to Australia byTelstrato promote the launch of their 4G service.[55]Zeitgeist, which sorted billions of Google searches to capture the year's 10 fastest-rising global queries, listed Black as "#1 Most Searched – Google". The searches for the teen singer topped even those of pop iconsLady GagaandAdele.[56]In late 2013, Black released the song "Saturday".For her sequel to" Friday ", she collaborated withDave Days.[57][58]It became Black's second song to chart on theBillboardHot 100, peaking at number 55. While it reached a higher position than "Friday" (number 58), "Saturday" was on the chart only one week, compared to six for "Friday".[59]Aside from her original music, Black has been posting videos regularly on her YouTube channel, which include blogs (sometimes with other people on YouTube), question-and-answer videos, and occasional covers of songs by other artists.[60]This includes her versions of twoMiley Cyrussongs from 2013. That July, Black collaborated with fellow YouTube personality Jon D in an acoustic cover of "We Can't Stop",for which lyrical changes were made.[61]Black followed with an acoustic version of "Wrecking Ball"in November.[62]
AtVidCon2015, Black revealed that she had been working on a studio album which she hoped to release by the end of 2015. According to her, the album would not be anything like her previous songs. She had been working on the album since releasing her song "Friday"; however, but it took her a while to be free from ARK Music Factory and find producers with whom she was comfortable.[63]However, no album or new original songs were released. Towards the end of 2015, Black performed a cover of "Wild"byTroye Sivan.[64]Black created a web video in January 2016 ongo90called "Life After Friday".
