JESSIA - One Before The One

Being on the lookout for “the one” or musing about leaving someone or having been left are standard themes for pop music. However, Canadian pop singer and songwriter JESSIA takes a different spin on the relationship topic in her latest single, “One Before The One.” The song is not only really pretty and catchy, but it is equally clever with brilliant lyrics:

So go ahead and break my heart and
Never finish what we started
Like I’m good until I’m not
When your training wheels come off

Here’s someone who clearly thought about what she wanted to sing about and it’ll be exciting to find out what’s next for JESSIA after she’s been for example touring Asia with OneRepublic and has supported Dean Lewis on his sold-out Canadian tour. Asked about her new single, JESSIA has very clear intentions and offers:

“‘One Before The One’ is for the singles this season who are bombarded with pictures of their exes in new relationships. It’s for anyone who felt like they were always used as the ‘practice run’ partner. People become reflective and reminiscent this time of year, which can be hard when there are so many songs about love and connection being played everywhere. I want this song to give the brokenhearted a safe space to feel seen. Though the song is subjectively sad, I feel warm every time I listen to it as I wrote it from a place of acceptance and finding power in that. I’m excited to release a scream in your car, cry to your ceiling, breath of fresh air kind of song to get us through the holidays.”
