SINGAPORE—JUNO Award winner, JESSIA has just released “Serotonin,” her first independent single since “I’m Not Beautiful.” The new track is a beautiful, contemplative, ambient pop single on which JESSIA goes within and muses lyrically on where she’s at, is a collaboration with JUNO Award-nominated producer and friend, Elijah woods.
“I wrote ‘Serotonin’ when I was struggling with staying true to myself and trying to just people-please. I felt the pressure to write ‘happy dance bops’ when I just wasn’t there personally,” confesses JESSIA. “I went to the studio to try and write a pop ‘hit’ and nothing was feeling right or authentic. Finally, I broke down and stated that I was clenching onto the little moments of serotonin in life just to make it through the day. Within 15 minutes, we had written ‘Serotonin’”.
“I want the song to reflect that serotonin comes in waves. It’s a chemical that can make you feel like you’re on top of the world for a moment, but then the comedown can be just as deep and impactful. You can’t enjoy the highs if you don’t feel the lows. I hope this song allows you to escape and brings you a few seconds of serotonin,” says JESSIA.
