At a listening party in London, Jessie J playfully suggested a new song that was said to be about her ex, Channing Tatum. The song traces the way from heartbreak to healing in a very discerning manner, but neither the reps of the two parties have confirmed it nor denied it.
TL;DR
At a London show, Jessi J presented a new song that, as per her words, might be about her ex-boyfriend, Channing Tatum. The two lovebirds, whose relationship status oscillated between on and off from 2018 to 2020, have not reacted to the new song by far.
At a private listening event in West London, Jessie J came through with a new track off her upcoming album. The British singer, who was Channing Tatum's on-and-off girlfriend from 2018 to 2020, dropped the single "Threw It Away" and let the audience decide the person she was writing about.
According to The Sun's report, Jessie J revealed that the song was made in 2020 with producer and songwriter Ryan Tedder. She talked to people who witnessed the happening and shared that if they had only one option to choose which side of the story was true, they definitely would not have indicated whose side of the heartbreak the song was from. Following that, the 37-year-old pop diva pretty much went through the motions of the part in the song where the narrator is the one who shared her feelings but got her heart broken.
The song's lyrics are illustrated by the words "I put my heart on the table" and "I gave you my love, and you threw it away." Besides, Jessie J sings, "I am the beauty, you are the beast" in the song, which led both the fans and media to speculate that her ex-friend could be Channing Tatum. But the representatives of neither Jessie J nor Tatum have responded to the media's inquiries, including those from Page Six.
Jessie J and Tatum met for the first time in 2018, and shortly after that, they started a romantic relationship that lasted till 2020 but was interrupted several times. The lovebirds called it quits in late 2019, reunited in early 2020, and broke up again in the latter part of the year. At that time, People magazine, quoting insider sources, reported the couple's separation as a mutual one. Although separated, Jessie J wrote a public birthday message to Channing Tatum on his 40th birthday and, in a social media post, termed him special and one of a kind.
After her separation from the actor, Jessie J concentrated on her music and her life. The singer became a mother to a boy in 2022 with professional basketball player Chanan Colman, who has been her boyfriend for a year. Up till now, she has not revealed the name of her son. Besides this, the singer recently made it known that she was undergoing breast cancer treatment, but she continued her performances and the release of new songs.
Tatum has also changed his life since their separation. He was engaged to actress Zoë Kravitz in 2023 after the filming of "Blink Twice," but the two separated in 2024. Presently, Tatum is dating model Inka Williams. They appeared for the first time together as a couple on the red carpet last September.
Jessie J's new album, "Don’t Tease Me With A Good Time," is planned to be released in the coming months. Industry professionals point out that artists usually take ex-lovers as a source of material for songwriting, which is a creative outlet and reflected in most of their work in the pop and R&B genres. Simply from her London show, one can tell that her record is going to be a deep dive into her life.
