Y'all really wanted me to lose this one, eh?
I'm (beep) up the melody.
Hello. My name is Jessie Reyez
and I'm going to play a game of Song Association.
Round 2 with Elle.
I will be given a word and I will have 10 seconds
to sing or rap that word in a song.
My expectations are reserved.

I had to was in a setting where I had to watch my ex
be a complete gentleman to this girl
during a time where he was being anything but to me.
But when you see that someone's able
but they just choose not to with you.
It burns a little deeper.

She's just mad cool. I remember I hit her up once.
I was like, "Girl, how'd you get those abs?"
And she was like, "Girl, I got you."
And sent me the YouTube link to one of the workouts.
Which is mad sweet, you know
no gatekeeping on the exercise.

I don't really write a lot of happy songs
because when I'm happy, I like to stay in those emotions.
I don't feel an urge to claw out of it.
But when I'm sad
I guess it kind of just happens automatically.
So there's more sad songs than there are happy.
Back.
♪ And you should be grateful that I didn't hurt you back ♪
♪ If you died... ♪
I saw a mutual friend. The music video was wild.
Peter Hoang is amazing, amazing director.
I love him and he knows that.
And filming it was a bitch
because we had all these black tents with all our shit
And this hurricane just came out of-
it felt like a hurricane.
I might be a little hyperbole,
a little bit of an exaggeration, but it was really intense.
And half the crew,
like anybody who wasn't hands-on set
was outside holding the poles to make sure
that the tents didn't fly away
and we didn't save all of them like tents flew like
You know, it was crazy. It was wild.

It's really hard to be sad

Shout out Beyonce. Shout out Shake.
The shoot was bananas. We did it somewhere in Europe.
Where the hell were we? Belgium? Brussels? B- B- in Europe.
Something that starts with a B in Europe
and it was sick and it was freezing.
But if Beyonce tells you to wear a crop top in the winter,
you do it. So I did it.

I wish I warmed up a little more before coming here
because then I'd be a little bit more satisfied
with the quality of singing, but I'm happy
I pulled everything off effortlessly I feel like.
