Jessie J, who’s been a fixture on the charts for over a decade, said her new single “No Secrets” reflects on the impact of personal struggles, loss, and fame. She’s now focused on balancing her health, family, and career as she navigates this new chapter.
“I’m just trying to figure out what the next six months is going to look like,” she said.
“I know that it has to change and I can’t do everything that I was supposed to be doing but I just want to be able to make it work as best I can for everybody. Me. Sky. My fans. My perspective on everything has changed so much.”
