"Next Big Me," alternatively titled "The Next Big Me" is a song by Verbalicious that was featured in 2004 American teen comedy, Sleepover. The song was released on June 29, 2004, on the Sleepover soundtrack. It may have been intended to be featured on her unreleased debut studio album, Verbal Issues, but the project was scrapped.
Another title for the song, "Next Big Game," also exists, and it is likely an indicator of an alternate version.

==Background==
On March 10, 2012, an alleged "alternate version" of "Next Big Me" leaked alongside "Wait For Me.""Next Big Me (Alternate Version): http://www.mediafire.com/?l7235rxib52c275" March 10, 2012. Retrieved April 19, 2022 via Night Owl on Gaga Daily. The link is now dead and the file is lost.
==Writing and Development==
"Next Big Me" was written sometime after winning a BBC Radio 1 MC Battle in 2003 and before the Sleepover soundtrack was released in 2004."she was signed soon after she won a Radio 1 MC competition when she was just 16."

====Next Big Game====
Similarly to "Hey Boy," this song was assigned two ISWCs with different titles despite having the same songwriters. While it can be argued that they are probably the same song with two possible final titles as in the case of "Hey Boy," it is unlikely; "Next Big Game" is not listed as an alternate title in any of the registrations of "Next Big Me," and the same is true vice versa. In the case of "Hey Boy," "Love Game" was listed as the alternate title in almost all registrations of "Hey Boy," and the same is true vice versa. This suggests that there is another unleaked version of the song.
====Possible Alternate Version====
It is unknown if this leak of an "alternate version" was an actual alternate version of the song because the link is now dead. If true, it is possible that this version is "Next Big Game."
