Jessie J isn’t holding back with her upcoming album, and fans believe one track in particular takes direct aim at her ex, Channing Tatum.
The singer, who dated the actor on and off between 2018 and 2020, appears to be channeling her past heartbreak into new music on Don’t tease me with a good timewhich arrives on Friday.
On a song with the title Throw it awayJessie opens up about a past relationship that left her feeling betrayed.
She calls the ex an “animal” and sings, “I put my heart on the table, that’s when it got uncomfortable. But oh, that karma will come one day, because I gave you my love and you threw it away.”
She later doubles down with the pointed line: “Don’t you dare rewrite history. I’m the beauty, you’re the beast.”
During a listening event in West London, Jessie didn’t mention Tatum by name, but she told the crowd: “This next song I wrote in 2020 with Ryan Tedder and you guys can find out who I dated.”
Fans needed no further hint.
The album marks a powerful return for the singer, who stepped down over the summer while undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
She shared that the experience has changed her outlook and said she is “grateful for the lessons” and for the unexpected connections she made with others facing cancer.
Reflecting on how the trip shaped her, Jessie said it has made her “a better parent” and “a better person.”
Now, with new music and a refreshed sense of purpose, she’s ready to step back into the spotlight, and she’s doing it on her own terms.
