Living My Best Life

Jessie J

Darco Artist Partnerships

WE SAY

It's only been a matter of weeks since we last featured Jessie J with her comeback single, but last Friday, she returned with this burst of radiant energy in her new single ‘Living My Best Life’. Following her deeply personal and reflective single ‘No Secrets’, this latest offering flips the mood entirely, serving up an infectious blend of ’80s nostalgia and modern pop optimism. Produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic, Beyoncé, Adele), the track is a joyful anthem, pulsing with retro flair, a bouncing groove and Jessie’s signature vocal dynamism. Featuring across new release programming on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and Deezer, the single with its danceable and vibrant nature is a must for pop and upbeat contextual playlists. At radio, the track has been added to the A-list at Radio 2, and we reckon it would sound great on Radio 1, Capital and Apple Music too. After her performance of ‘The Award Goes To’ at the BAFTA TV Awards, Jessie J continues her live comeback with an intimate sold-out headline show at London’s Union Chapel tomorrow night (20 May), where she’ll perform new material and fan favourites. Following this, Jessie will perform at Capital’s Summertime Ball on 15 June. With ‘Living My Best Life’, Jessie J embraces her pop credentials to produce an anthem of pure joy.
