AceShowbiz - The drama between Keri Hilson and songwriter Ester Dean regarding the "Turnin' Me On (Remix)" has resurfaced, drawing attention once again to the song's provocative lyrics aimed at Beyonce Knowles.

The controversy ignited after Hilson, in a recent interview on "The Breakfast Club", revealed her regret over the song. Hilson blamed the diss track for ruining her career, claiming she was forced to sing the contentious lines.

Following this, Ester Dean who co-write the single took to social media to clarify her involvement and share her perspective in an open letter.

In a post "For Keri. For Creatives. For The Record," she shares how the song came to be. In her words, "Back in July 2008, I started working with [producer] Polow Da Don in Atlanta."

"Later, I moved to Los Angeles to write for Polow's artists over at Interscope. I wasn't famous. I wasn't chasing clout. I was in the studio - day and night - writing 3 to 4 songs a day. No friends. No family. Just work."

She explained the circumstances under which the remix was created, "One night, Polow asked me to write a remix verse for Keri Hilson - something street, something for the culture."

"He left the room, and I sat there trying different ideas until I landed on these lines: 'Your vision cloudy if you think that you're the best. You can dance, she can sing/ But she need to move it to the …' Tacky? Yes. Forced? No.”

Dean clarified that Hilson was not involved in writing these specific lyrics and that their collaboration on the song was minimal. "I wasn't in the room with Keri writing this together. I didn't know her personally. She was already a star. I was just a writer trying to earn my place. I did my job and left. Keri came in another time and wrote her own verse - her pen, her voice."

Years later, Dean ended up working for Beyonce and despite her involvement in the diss track, there was no drama with Beyonce. It was all just business, no hard feelings were involved as she asserted, "I signed to Roc Nation as a writer. There was no 'plot' no 'beef squad'. No secret industry mission. Just writers writing."

Dean concluded her letter by expressing regret over the fallout and extending grace to Hilson. "What Keri went through was unfortunate. She's a great artist, a beautiful spirit, and she deserves grace. She took her lessons. I'll take mine," Dean wrote.

Meanwhile, Hilson recalled how she fought against recording the song. "I tried to fight him on it and I began writing my own," Hilson said. "The mistake that I made was not continuing to fight. But I was in tears, I was crying, I was adamant that I did not want to do that."

Before sharing her open letter, Dean posted this initial response which has since been deleted, "I see how it hurt people, especially women, and I take full accountability."
