Jessie J - Complicated

Copied!

{Lyrics from live snippet at São Paolo}

{Verse 1}
2010 was the year I didn't know what I was doing
I sang so loud, insecure, but nobody knew it
2012 I broke up with my beautiful girlfriend
With the press in my face, called it a phase, babe I'm sorry
2014 Katy told me that they all hate me, that I do too much
Bang Bang can sit at the table, at the label

{Chorus}
Ooh, that's life for you
A rollercoaster (?...)
Ooh, and I'm fine with that
It's been a decade of being complicated
Not complaining
It's underrated, celebrated
I've had my moments, ups and lowest
But I'm okay with being complicated
Being complicated

{Verse 2}
2015 got told that I couldn't have children
Took 2016 just for me cause I need some grievance
2017 went back cause I wanted
2018 to be (?...) and be honest
I met a Magic Mike, will that ever be forgotten
Cause everything they write, that's the headline and it's nothing
See Jessie J LiveGet tickets as low as $74
{Chorus}
Ooh, that's life for you
A rollercoaster (?...)
Ooh, and I'm fine with that
It's been a decade of being complicated
Not complaining
It's underrated, celebrated
I've had my moments, ups and lowest
But I'm okay with being complicated
Being complicated

Jessie J is a British singer. Born in 1988, she first came to fame when her single, “Do It Like A Dude” hit #2 in the UK. Singles “LaserLight”, “Nobody’s Perfect”, “Who You Are”, “Domino”, and “Price Tag” all hit the Top 10 in the UK, making her the first British female artist to achieve 6 Top 10 singles in the UK. The latter two became Top 25 hits in the US, with “Domino” peaking at #6 and “Price Tag” hitting #23.

Jessie J’s second album, Alive, became a UK-only release. The three singles, “Wild”, “It’s My Party”, and “Thunder” all hit the Top 20 in the UK, with the first two making Top 5. On the album charts, it hit #3 and went gold.

Her third album, Sweet Talker, was released internationally and preceded by the smash single “Bang Bang” featuring Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. In the UK, it went straight to the top of the charts, while in the US, it debuted at #6, tying her highest peak. Eventually, it hit #3, becoming Jessie’s highest peak, Grande’s second-highest, and Minaj’s tied-for-highest. (Minaj later surpassed her peak with her number two single, “Anaconda”.) “Bang Bang” also hit the Top 10 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, and New Zealand and went Platinum X6 according to RIIA. The next single, “Burnin' Up” was less successful, although it cracked the Top 100 in both the US and UK. Third single “Sweet Talker” was released in only the UK/Ireland, and fourth single “Masterpiece” hit the US Hot 100, but only managed a 159 peak in the UK.

After 3 years away from the music scene, Jessie came back with a fourth LP, R.O.S.E. (2018). The official single from the album is “Queen” along with two promo singles “Think About That” and “Not My Ex”.
