"Screwed" was planned to be the debut single from Hilton's album, with a version being leaked in mid-2004, but plans were scrapped as the album was retooled and legal issues arose. Since then, the song has been continuously rumoured to be a single. Hilton claims that the song is about a girl who is in love but knows that her lover is not her soulmate.

The song was planned to be Hilton's first single. It was leaked to the internet in August 2004, and a remix by Alex G leaked in early 2005.

The song was also recorded and planned for release by Haylie Duff on her upcoming debut album Walk the Walk. Hilton and Duff went through legal battles for the song in 2005.[3] Unfortunately for Duff, Hilton got the song.

Due to the early leak of the song, Hilton has since chosen "Stars Are Blind" as her first single instead.

Hilton re-recorded the song in 2006. The version that appears on the album has a different arrangement to the leaked version, with a more 1980s-influenced rock sound to it.

[edit] Chart performance

The song entered the Asian Hot 100 Singles Chart at number forty-six but moved up the next week to number two breaking into the Asia Top 40. "Screwed" also debuted at number one on the Japanese Physical Chart, although it failed to crack the top ten on the singles chart.
