Jessie J wants to “save the world” with her music. The Price Tag hitmaker is pleased when she receives messages from fans who have related to her lyrics because she has always wanted to make a difference to people’s lives.
She said, “The most amazing thing is to comfort people. Every day on Twitter I get, ‘Your album saved my life right now’ and, ‘How did you put my life into words?’ I just don’t want to write music that’s throwaway. Ever since I was a kid I’ve written poetry and songs to make people thing. I’ve always wanted to save the world in my own little way.” The 23-year-old star believes her desire to help people through her music comes from her father, who is a social worker, and she wants people to realise she doesn’t have a “sugar-coated, perfect” life.
She explained, “My dad’s a social worker and I almost want to give that to the world. I’m fed up of people sugar-coating life for kids. I want to write music that brings some light into the world.”
