UNCONFIRMED REPORT
Editor’s note: The album listing, release date, track order and relationship between the listed recordings remain unverified. The full album has not been recovered, and neither Bella Thorne nor Hollywood Records has confirmed the surfaced configuration.
More than a decade after Bella Thorne’s music career appeared to move away from a planned full-length debut album, fans may have uncovered the strongest evidence yet that the project progressed much further than previously believed.
A series of screenshots and audio previews recently surfaced online from what appears to be an archived Chinese music service listing for an album titled Call It Whatever, credited to Bella Thorne and Hollywood Records. According to the listing, the project carried an October 14, 2014 release date and contained ten standard tracks plus two bonus tracks.
At the time of publication, the authenticity of the listing has not been independently verified, and the full album has not been recovered. The original MP3 download links reportedly no longer work, but fans who located the page say 30-second preview clips are still available for the listed tracks.
While the discovery should be treated with caution, several details line up with what is already known about Bella Thorne’s music career during that period.
A Debut Album Was Publicly Planned
In a 2014 Billboard interview, Bella Thorne discussed a larger music project beyond the lead single “Call It Whatever.” Surviving accounts of the interview say she described the single as the youngest-sounding song on the project and talked about an album drawing on dance, hip-hop, indie and 1980s-inspired influences.
Those comments matter because they show that “Call It Whatever” was being presented as part of a broader album concept, not just as a standalone single.
The Alleged Track List
The unverified listing circulating online shows the following configuration. Neither the sequence nor the inclusion of these songs has been confirmed by Bella Thorne, Hollywood Records or Disney Music Group.
| No. | Reported title | Listing category |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Call It Whatever | Standard |
| 2 | Drop The Beat | Standard |
| 3 | Paperweight | Standard |
| 4 | Down Like That (feat. Jacob Latimore) | Standard |
| 5 | One More Night | Standard |
| 6 | Boomerang | Standard |
| 7 | Jersey | Standard |
| 8 | Boyfriend Material | Standard |
| 9 | O.M.G. (Oh My Gosh!) | Standard |
| 10 | Bad Case Of You | Standard |
| 11 | Daydream | Alleged bonus track |
| 12 | He’s A Heartbreaker | Alleged bonus track |
Why Fans Are Paying Attention
What makes the discovery especially interesting is the overlap between the alleged album track list and songs that were later officially released.
Four titles in the surfaced configuration later appeared on Bella Thorne’s Jersey EP: “Jersey,” “Paperweight,” “One More Night” and “Boyfriend Material.” On top of that, “Call It Whatever” had already been released as a single.
Another possible connection is “Bad Case Of You.” The title in the alleged listing closely resembles “Bad Case of U,” a recording Bella Thorne officially released in 2014. DC Fans cannot confirm whether the two titles refer to the same recording, an alternate version or unrelated songs.
These connections do not authenticate the surfaced album configuration. They do show, however, that the listing includes several songs known to have existed during the same general recording period.
How the Track List Fits Bella’s 2014 Comments
The alleged track list also seems broadly in line with the musical variety Bella described while promoting her music at the time. “Down Like That,” credited as a collaboration with Jacob Latimore, could fit the crossover direction she discussed, while titles such as “Drop The Beat,” “One More Night” and “Boomerang” suggest possible dance-pop material.
That comparison is still interpretive. Song titles alone cannot establish genre, production style or whether a recording belonged to a finished album. The surviving previews would need to be evaluated carefully, and even matching musical styles would not, on their own, prove the listing is authentic.
A Plausible Theory, Not a Confirmed History
If the listing proves legitimate, one possible explanation is that Bella Thorne’s original debut album reached an advanced stage before Hollywood Records changed direction. Albums are sometimes delayed, reworked, cut down into EPs or canceled, with selected recordings later repurposed for another release.
The overlap between the alleged Call It Whatever album and the later Jersey EP is consistent with that theory. It is not proof that this particular sequence was finalized, scheduled or officially distributed. No primary source located by DC Fans has yet confirmed the twelve-song configuration shown in the screenshots.
A Collector’s Perspective From the Time
DC Fans purchased the Jersey EP and the “Bad Case of U” single on iTunes when they were originally available. Heard side by side, the releases sound as though they could have come from the same broader project or recording era.
That firsthand observation is not documentary proof and should not be treated as authentication. It does, however, support the possibility already suggested by the overlapping titles and the shared 2014 timeline.
What We Still Don’t Know
- Whether Call It Whatever was formally scheduled for release as a full album.
- Whether the Chinese music service listing and its metadata are authentic.
- Whether all twelve listed songs were completed.
- Whether “Bad Case Of You” and “Bad Case of U” are the same recording.
- Whether the planned album was canceled, postponed, substantially revised or partly repackaged as the Jersey EP.
- Whether complete versions of the reportedly unreleased tracks still exist.
The Bottom Line
For years, Disney Channel fans have seen “Call It Whatever” as a promising single from a music career that never grew into the expected full-length Hollywood Records debut. If it’s authentic, the newly surfaced listing offers a fascinating glimpse of what that project might have looked like.
For now, the discovery should be treated as an intriguing, unconfirmed piece of Disney music history, not definitive proof that a complete lost album has been found. Still, the presence of several later-released songs, combined with Bella’s own comments at the time about a broader, stylistically varied project, makes the listing worth a closer look.
As more evidence emerges, DC Fans will keep confirmed releases, Bella’s public comments from the time and claims drawn from the surfaced listing clearly separated, and we’ll update this story.
