In an interview with ''American Idol'' host [[Ryan Seacrest]] on the latter's radio show, Derülo described the writing process as follows:<blockquote>The fans got to help me write the song. I started writing the song, but I left a bunch of lines blank and the fans have been helping me fill in the lines. There were lots of great, great lines. It made the process a little difficult. Thankfully, I had a lot of help to whittle it down to a number that I could actually look at. There were tons and tons of great stuff, but we got it down and I believe we came up with the best product!</blockquote> |

"Undefeated" is a 2012 song by Jason Derülo. It was written with the help of American Idol viewers throughout Season 11 of the show. The creation of the song was promoted through Coca Cola's "Perfect Harmony" program[1][2] where viewers of the show were invited to contribute lyrics to the tune making it a true collective effort by a big number of people. Contributions were edited and the eventual final version performed by Derülo and tipped as part of his "healing process" after he suffered an accident that left him in a neck brace for many months.
In an interview with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest on the latter's radio show, Derülo described the writing process as follows:
The fans got to help me write the song. I started writing the song, but I left a bunch of lines blank and the fans have been helping me fill in the lines. There were lots of great, great lines. It made the process a little difficult. Thankfully, I had a lot of help to whittle it down to a number that I could actually look at. There were tons and tons of great stuff, but we got it down and I believe we came up with the best product!
And immediately prior to his live performance, he sent this message through his Twitter account:
"1st time performing since my neck injury 2night on Idol finale! THANK YOU to the fans that help[[ed] me write this song #UNDEFEATED. It's been 2 wks since I took my neck brace off! Still gonna make it happen tonight! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER LET UP!"
The song premiered in a live performance by Derülo on May 22, 2012 on the Final 2 of the competition[3] and made available for downloads on the same day. 10,000 free downloads of the dance song were made available through AmericanIdol.com official website.
