Sweet as Pie

Sweet as Pie, alternatively titled You Don't Love Me, is an unreleased song by Teddy Sinclair. It was likely written and recorded during the studio sessions for her debut studio album as Verbalicious, Verbal Issues, but the project was scrapped. The song leaked on June 24, 2013.
The song was later reworked during what seems to be the Verbz era, but it was ultimately scrapped again.

==Writing and Development==
====Verbalicious Development====
Sweet as Pie was likely written during the development of the unreleased studio album, Verbal Issues, sometime after winning a BBC Radio 1 MC Battle in 2003 and before the album was scrapped in what seems to be late 2005."she was signed soon after she won a Radio 1 MC competition when she was just 16." February 24, 2005. Retrieved February 25, 2022 via BBC."Verbalicious seems to have disapeared too. She had an album, Verbal Issues, in the pipeline but I guess it got shelved." September 14, 2005. Retrieved February 24, 2022 via [Deleted User] on Digital Spy Forums. 
This song had two working titles: Sweet as Pie and You Don't Love Me. Both were given ISWCs and were registered on music registration websites, so it's unclear which one came first and which one was the final. Considering the song leaked as Sweet as Pie, this is likely the final title.
====Repurposing of Lyrics====
Lines from this song were seemingly reworked for Don't Play Nice. However, it is possible the lyrics were originally written for Don't Play Nice before eventually being reworked for Sweet as Pie. Additionally, the phrase "playin' nice" also likely stemmed from this song. 
:"Heads I’ll be shakin’" and "Busy makin’ beats so shook that the dead will be wakin’" (Sweet as Pie) → "The club got me shakin', dead will be wakin’" (Don't Play Nice)
====Verbz Rework====
Sweet as Pie seems to have been reworked later on in Teddy Sinclair's career. A document from the United States Copyright Office shows that another version of the song exists with credits from Peter Martin, a frequent collaborator with Sinclair during the Verbz era. He co-wrote Shopaholic and Swaggerific, songs from 2007 under the alias Verbz, so it can be assumed that this version was made around that time and was also intended to be released on MySpace.
