[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Stop
Where am I?
Shock
I can't cry
Pop
I need some space
No, this isn't me
Go, please let me breathe
I'll be back sooner than you know

[Chorus]
I need this space, just like you need air
I need this time, time to clear up my mind
Wait, did you hear that?
Shh, hear my heartbeat, shh
I need this feeling, yeah, I really need this

[Verse 2]
Wow
I've been blind
Hope I'll be fine
Don't hold me back, no
Yes, I see light
Now, it's alright
Call my name
I'll be me soon, oh

[Chorus]
I need this space, just like you need air
I need this time, time to clear up my mind
Wait, did you hear that?
Shh, hear my heartbeat, shh
I need this feeling, oh
Wait, did you hear that?
Shh, hear my heartbeat, shh
I need this feeling, yeah

[Breakdown]
I really need
I really need this
I really need, really, really need, need, need, yeah

[Bridge]
No, it's not personal
Sorry if I'm hurting you
Please don't give up on me, no
I needed this time alone to know I could come back home
To breathe, breathe, breathe

[Chorus]
I need this space, just like you need air
I need this time, time to clear up my mind
Wait, did you hear that?
Shh, hear my heartbeat, shh
I need this feeling, oh
Wait, did you hear that?
Shh, hear my heartbeat, shh
I need this feeling, yeah

I really need this
I need, need, need this feeling, oh

I need, need, need, need this, yeah yeah
Oh, yeah, uh
I really need, ooh, yeah
I need, need
Really, really, really
I need this, I need this, I need
I really need this

Jessie J is a British singer. Born in 1988, she first came to fame when her single, “Do It Like A Dude” hit #2 in the UK. Singles “LaserLight”, “Nobody’s Perfect”, “Who You Are”, “Domino”, and “Price Tag” all hit the Top 10 in the UK, making her the first British female artist to achieve 6 Top 10 singles in the UK. The latter two became Top 25 hits in the US, with “Domino” peaking at #6 and “Price Tag” hitting #23.

Jessie J’s second album, Alive, became a UK-only release. The three singles, “Wild”, “It’s My Party”, and “Thunder” all hit the Top 20 in the UK, with the first two making Top 5. On the album charts, it hit #3 and went gold.

Her third album, Sweet Talker, was released internationally and preceded by the smash single “Bang Bang” featuring Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. In the UK, it went straight to the top of the charts, while in the US, it debuted at #6, tying her highest peak. Eventually, it hit #3, becoming Jessie’s highest peak, Grande’s second-highest, and Minaj’s tied-for-highest. (Minaj later surpassed her peak with her number two single, “Anaconda”.) “Bang Bang” also hit the Top 10 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, and New Zealand and went Platinum X6 according to RIIA. The next single, “Burnin' Up” was less successful, although it cracked the Top 100 in both the US and UK. Third single “Sweet Talker” was released in only the UK/Ireland, and fourth single “Masterpiece” hit the US Hot 100, but only managed a 159 peak in the UK.
