Jessie J has seemingly taken a dig at her ex-boyfriend, Channing Tatum, in her latest song, “Threw It Away.” The track, part of her upcoming album, Don’t Tease Me With A Good Time, features lyrics that suggest feelings of betrayal and karma. In a sneak preview shared with fans, Jessie, 37, reflects on a tumultuous relationship that lasted from 2018 to 2020.
In the song, she sings, “I put my heart out on the table / That’s when it got uncomfortable / But oh that karma is gonna come one day / ’Cause I gave you my love and you threw it away.” The lyrics continue with a powerful assertion: “Don’t you dare rewrite the story. I’m the beauty, you’re the beast.” This line appears to draw a direct comparison between herself and Tatum, 45, highlighting their contrasting roles in the relationship.
Reflections on a Past Relationship
Jessie J wrote “Threw It Away” with renowned songwriter Ryan Tedder in 2020, a time when she was in a relationship with Tatum. Their romance was confirmed publicly in November 2018, following Tatum’s split from actress Jenna Dewan. After a brief breakup, they reconciled in January 2020, only to part ways for good four months later.
Since their split, Tatum has been linked to several women, including actress Zoë Kravitz, with whom he became engaged in 2023, before their separation in early 2024. Meanwhile, Jessie J has been in a relationship with basketball player Chanan Colman since 2021. The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Sky, in 2023 after Jessie experienced a miscarriage two years prior.
Recent Challenges and New Music
In addition to her new music, Jessie has faced significant personal challenges. Earlier this year, she postponed her tour due to recovery from breast cancer surgery. In an emotional video shared via Instagram in August, she revealed, “So, as some of you may know, I just had breast cancer surgery eight weeks ago.” She added that a second surgery was necessary, which unfortunately conflicted with her tour schedule.
Jessie’s candid messages about her health and personal life have resonated deeply with her fans. She expressed a desire to embrace the moment, stating, “I’m living in the moment. I’m embracing the moment, and I’m flowing with the vibes.” Despite her frustrations, she acknowledged the importance of prioritizing her health and healing.
As Jessie J prepares to release her new album, she continues to navigate both her artistic journey and personal challenges. Fans eagerly await the full release of “Threw It Away” and the rest of the album, which promises to delve into her experiences and emotions.
