Jessie J’s Emotional Breakdown During Live Performance Reveals Heartfelt New Song
During a heartfelt live performance in London on November 28, Jessie J introduced her new album, Don’t Tease Me with a Good Time. The evening took an emotional turn when she performed the song “Comes in Waves,” inspired by her personal experience of pregnancy loss. The lyrics reflect her deep sense of loss and yearning, poignantly stating: “It comes in waves, like I’m drowning in a love I crave.”
Jessie J’s Emotional Connection to Music
In a touching moment shared with the audience, Jessie revealed it marked the fourth anniversary of her miscarriage. She expressed the profound impact of her loss, stating, “I don’t know if anyone has gone through this, but it’s really hard.” This song was dedicated to those enduring similar heartache, as she hopes it can provide comfort.
Background on the Album and Personal Journey
Jessie J’s new album comes after a difficult chapter in her life. In 2021, she publicly shared her miscarriage experience. At that time, she had decided to embrace motherhood independently. However, her hopes were dashed during a third scan when she learned her baby no longer had a heartbeat.
Fast forward two years, Jessie welcomed her son with her boyfriend, Chanan Safir Colman. This milestone highlights her journey from grief to joy.
Upcoming Tour and Challenges
Jessie J’s plans for her North American tour faced several challenges. Originally set for November 2025, it was canceled in August after her breast cancer diagnosis. Her UK and European tour, slated for October 2025, was postponed to 2026 due to her need for a second surgery.
In October, she revealed the postponement of this surgery, describing the experience as “frustrating.” Despite these setbacks, Jessie J has successfully rebooked her North American tour. It will now kick off in the US on January 21, starting at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta and continuing through early February. Following this, she will embark on her UK and European tour in April.
