Talking about her new record, JESSIA says, “The response to “I’m not Pretty” has been overwhelming to say the least!  I am so touched that we have started 2021 off with this body positivity movement. The inspiration for this song actually started from a TikTok trend. I heard a quote saying, ‘I’ve never seen two pretty best friends’ and it got me thinking that all of my friends are gorgeous so maybe I’m not the pretty one. Maybe I am just the fun one? I was feeling frustrated and bitter one day, so I wrote this hook to get me through. People related to it and the positivity started rapidly spreading and then having Elijah Woods onboard to produce and be a part of it, made it all the more special. We are both so proud of what has come out of this song and it’s just the beginning! ”
