Summary
- Jessie J states her song "Threw It Away" is not about ex Channing Tatum.
- She defended Tatum to protect his daughter from negative narratives.
- The song was inspired by multiple dating experiences in Los Angeles.
British singer Jessie J has publicly denied that her soulful new track "Threw It Away" is inspired by her former partner, actor Channing Tatum. Speculation arose following the song's release, but Jessie took to Instagram Stories on November 27 to unequivocally state that the song is not about Tatum. She expressed a desire to protect Tatum's daughter, emphasizing their amicable split and her respect for him.
Jessie revealed that the song's inspiration stems from her experiences dating multiple people during her time in Los Angeles, describing it as a reflection of the "negative of L.A." where some connections were fleeting. She also mentioned sending Tatum a different track on her album, "Complicated," which does reference him, and that he was comfortable with it.
The "Domino" singer dated Tatum from 2018 to 2020. While the pair separated amicably in April 2020, Jessie conveyed frustration over media narratives that constantly linked her to Tatum. She urged for the speculation to cease, focusing now on her new album, "Don't Tease Me with a Good Time," released on November 28.
