    10 years ago, Kim Kardashian decided to record a track with producer The-Dream, after he pitched the idea to her. The eventual track, Jam (Turn It Up), didn't change music forever, but it was a fun period in her career.

    Kim had some support for the idea, and both Kanye West and Ciara were excited to see what eventuated. As part of her show with Kourtney, Kourtney And Kim Take New York, the studio session was filmed - and it looks like one hell of a time.

    The track would eventually premiere on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, but the reception wasn't exactly glowing. A video with Kanye, directed by Hype Williams, never eventuated, except for the below snippet.

    Kim would later go on to say the song was one of her biggest regrets, which is a bit sad to hear. After all, it wasn't THAT bad, was it?

    Speaking about the track to Sway Calloway, The-Dream explained that the track was his idea - and he didn't regret it one bit. "I'm the one that actually called her to do it.

    "This was very, very — believe it or not — a very fun moment for me. It's one of my lightest musical moments. ... It wasn't about kicking off a singing career; it was us really having the power of TV and goofing off."

    If you need a refresher, check out the song below, complete with a fan-edited music video that captures the energy of the snippet. Both The-Dream and Kim K's careers weren't affected by the track, so all that's well ends well, right? Who knows, we might even see the track have a resurgence on TikTok. Stranger things have happened.
