COURTNEY LOVE begged songwriter LINDA PERRY for a beautiful song - but th e in-demand hitmaker gave the track to CHRISTINA AGUILERA instead.
The Hole singer was desperate to record Perry’s Beautiful but the forme r 4 Non Blondes star insisted Love wasn’t ready for the attention the bal lad would bring her.
The rock star tells MTV, "In my entire life I’ve never wanted a song fu lly rendered, that someone else has written - ever… It (song) was 11 ye ars old at the time… and she ended up giving it to Christina Aguilera, but I begged her for it.
"She said to me at the time… ‘You’re not ready for top 40; you will b e. You’ll hate this song because you didn’t write it’ - which is totally true… and then we got into a fierce fight about whether she should give it to Britney (Spears) or Christina.
"She said, ‘Someday, you and me are gonna write a song that’s better an d better suited for you.’" Perry lived up to her promise when she offered Love Letter To God for L ove’s new Hole album Nobody’s Daughter.
The Hole star adds, "Again it’s an old song… She just whipped it out one day."
