Behind the song with Jess Glynne

We got this so-hot-right-now Brit (fronts a new Bench campaign, scored five number one singles in the U.K. in 2015, has just released a single that has been viewed on YouTube 15 million times and counting) to give us the inside scoop on three songs from her brand-new album, I Cry When

I Laugh. “Why Me” “I wrote this with the producer Knox Brown, who I worked with for most of my album. It came from a place of frustration—I’d been treated kind of badly, and I was just having one of those ‘Grr, why me?’ days.” “Ain’t Got Far to Go” “This was a defining song on the album. It was the first one I wrote that I knew ‘Okay, this is where I’m going sound-wise and everything-wise.’ It has been a long time coming to where I am now, and it finally felt like I didn’t have far to go.” “No Rights No Wrongs” “This was one of the most fun sessions I’ve ever had to create a song! We [Brown, collaborator Janee Bennett and others] were all in a room, just jamming out. It’s about life and why things happen. I believe in fate, and this song is about the questions you can’t really answer. It makes me feel so good singing it.” n
