Her past releases have nothing to hide, making JESSIA a friend that can help you through your toughest moments. After her single “I’m not Pretty” went viral in 2021, the compelling pop sensation has been described as a raw and unfiltered artist by critics and fans alike. JESSIA’s music has been streamed over 400M times, with hits like “Care About Me” and “Different People” touching on one of her favorite subjects: relationships. She focused on the various aspects of relationships on last year’s Okay With Every Part, an emotional EP with songs about messy exes, post-breakup blues, and self-importance. The project was the beginning of a new chapter for JESSIA, and she continues to add to this story with “Moved Around You.”
An anthemic pop ballad, “Moved Around You” is an instant JESSIA classic. Throughout the single, she relives a situation that dealt with her falling way too hard for someone else. The verses are very straightforward and almost rushed, as if she wants to get the words off her tongue as quickly as possible. The vibes shift, however, once we get to the choruses. Here, the soundscape expands, enabling her to slow down and own her feelings. She sings, “At least I wasn’t afraid to jump / At least I didn’t just say what you wanted / At least I didn’t lead you on” and “I won’t apologize for all the ways I moved around you / I’m not embarrassed or stupid / For falling apart / I think it’s beautiful I let myself / Fall this hard.”
Telling us more about “Moved Around You,” JESSIA explains,
“‘Moved Around You’ is for anyone who’s fallen too hard in a casual relationship. It always hurts to care more than the other person, but this song takes that pain and turns it into power—celebrating the fact that we were brave enough to put our hearts on the line.”
