"Paid My Dues" was written by Anastacia, LaMenga Kafi, Greg Lawson and Damon Sharpe, while production was handled by Ric Wake, with additional production by Richie Jones. According to James Salmon from Yahoo! Music, the song is a "typically robust 'go girl' anthem."
Paid My Dues is a much more realistic autobiographic track detailing her feelings on her career and a little bit on the life away from the cameras- with the saucy, tough girl hip pop leanings (particularly on the dance-worthy bassline) and really thugged out divalicious second verse, this is a purely entertaining song. You really get into the shout-a-long concert-ready hookline while the ominous, flirting-with-the-edge-of-rock guitar (her best style, of course) is equally as encompassing.
