As an infant, Brown began to sing the alphabet immediately after learning it and began performing at the age of 3 upon receiving her first karaoke machine. As a child, Brown began to regularly perform in school plays and beauty pageants while taking voice lessons and piano study. She was also involved with 'Janoskian's member Luke Brooks.
In 2011, Brown's mother discovered Kidz Bop, a website for kids to upload and share videos of themselves performing. She uploaded a video of Brown performing an original number on the piano, with Brown selected as a finalist. After performing Adele's "Someone Like You" to earn her a place in the Top 4, Brown won the 2011 KIDZ Star USA Grand Prize out of 45,000 submissions, the largest national talent competition for kids age 15 and under.[1]
At a school assembly, Brown was told that she won the national talent search by "American Idol" winner Kris Allen. The prize included a RCA Records recording contract and starring role in the Kidz Bop 21 music video and commercial. Allen said after seeing her live, "She went from 'She's good' to 'She is no doubt gonna win this thing."[2]
Brown said she had the opportunity to listen to and select from her top three song choices. After considering and listening to the songs, she said she chose her first single “Hey Chica” because of the up-beat tempo. The song was released June 19, 2012.[3] Brown has performed the song on The Today Show and 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She also performed "Do the mermaid" from Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2.
In 2012, Brown was named cover girl for Miss Moxie's Holiday 2012 issue.[4] The site praised "Hey Chica" for promoting "clear message of self empowerment and encourages young women to feel beautiful in their own skin."
In 2016, Brown was cast in the series regular role as Zoe Vaughn on the second season of MTV's Scream.
Get In The Way
Kiana Ledé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking to myself like "Now, what's the play?"
Kiki this is bullshit, damn
You know you ain't new to this
Make the same mistakes
All we do is fuck then regret it
Fuck and forget it
Every little thing that you say
I put to rest, I ain't going to get like that
I can't let this love get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
I can't let this love get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Every time that we exchange in conversation
I won't listen to a thing that you've got to say
Always telling me you want me, that you need me
Saying you ain't running games, you ain't tryna play
Anyway I'm on a different wave
I got people to see, you know I got places to go
I ain't even really tripping
I'm just letting you know
We gotta stop running in circles, start letting it go, yo
All we do is fuck then regret it
Fuck and forget it
I won't let it get like that
Every single thing that you say
I put to rest, I ain't going to get like that
I can't let this love get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
I can't let this love get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Nah, now we doin' this again like I knew we would
Got me fucking up my plans, knowing that I shouldn't
Take a minute, take a second just to think it through
And I know I could do better
But trust me it's not my fault, I can't leave it alone
Trying my hardest but it ain't easy at all
Everyday we say exchange in conversation
Then I know that this is it, we won't ever change
'Cause all we do is fuck then regret it
Fuck and forget it
I won't let it get like that
Every single thing that you say
I put to rest, I ain't going to get like that
I can't let this love get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
I can't let this love get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Get in way, get in the way
Nah
