Tutorial Association
The song has been associated as a theme for the old tutorial that played in the help page of Club Penguin, on which Paparazzi is known to have been the theme. There is no concrete proof that the song was used, but there are two known YouTube videos that contained the tutorial with the music played[4][5]. One of them is edited, and by itself would have no credibility, but the other video appears to be unedited. However, the tutorial is not captured from the start and it is not possible to evaluate whether or not this could have been edited. That both videos have the music could be a coincidence, or indicate the song might've been added at some point. Although many archives of the tutorial exist, no archives of the music file used exist, which renders it impossible to make a conclusion.
Trivia
