Gaga Lost 'Out Of Control'?

Was reading the fan wiki about Ga's unreleased songs and when I got to Out Of Control's page, it's stated that Gaga supposedly said she doesn't have a copy of OOC and would leak it if she ever found a copy. Does anyone know where or when Gaga said this?

I know OOC was created early on in her career (probably even before The Fame came out) but I find it a bit mind boggling that Gaga (or maybe even her team/record label) just doesn't have a copy of the song anywhere?

I mean, when you're an artist of any kind I imagine, you're going to produce a lot work and especially at the beginning of your career you're probably gonna produce a lot of work you'll later not care for, so this doesn't sound off to me - I know I've probably lost a lot of paintings and drawing over the years cuz I just didn't care to save em

I'd be surprised if she hasn't lost a bunch especially back then when it might have been on CD or memory stick, I'm sure the producer would still have it though. I've lost a few projects before from drive failure with no secondary backups before

I wish she just release it. It's my favorite unreleased track from her

As an artist, I totally get this viewpoint. Goodness knows there's a myriad of drawings I've lost or discarded altogether simply because I didn't care for them (if at all). But, in this instance, I'm sure there were other songwriters and producers who worked on these tracks. So, to me, it does sound a bit odd that potentially not a single person involved including the record label has them archived somewhere?

That's fair. I'd like to think she or at least the producers have a copy somewhere of those records made early in her career. It's plausible there's a lot of unreleased material she's lost that she just hasn't made it known she's lost.
