Now this is a real interview with great vibe and great talk! And it presents Jesy for what she truly is. This Morning was always the kindest to Little Mix, don't think we'll ever forget how much you all appreciate and respect our girls.

[@zoeb8097]

Totally agree with this. Nice to see how relaxed Jesy was

[@pollianaoliveira1257]

I love Jesy so much! She is such an inspiration to me ever since I was an insecure teenager. Thank you so much, Jesy, for being the incredible human you are. Lots and lots of love from Brazil. 💙🥹🇧🇷

[@Channiekooksroom18]

It’s good to see her smile. Jesy your real fans do adore you for your honesty and being different. Be proud of yourself.

[@KindonMind-fz4bt]

I love how happy she looks and sounds! It’s like she’s found parts of herself again and brought them back together (not that she wasn’t before!) but I can defo relate.

[@auspicious93]

She looks really quite sad to me... It made me sad to watch this, honestly. She seems beaten down by all of the hate.

[@vikiscipova2798]

I'm so pround of her how she don't give up and drop this emotional ballad. This song we will remember for long time also music video looks awesome. Love that work what Jesy team did! Now is time to let her have moment to shine and deserve all support❤

[@jackevans3689]

Don’t agree with “I’m showing people how easy it is to put music out without a big record label”…she literally has multiple contacts in the industry along with a bank balance of millions to produce a record. In spite of that, it is a good song.

[@sebastianwelcome2080]

[@kahyui2486]

exactly, it costs money to get on these shows for a start because u need a publicist and an agent 😂. It's not like any indapendant artists can promote their song on national TV lol

Jesy don't take any social media break or go into hiding again. That's what they want you to feel. You're very much loved and much stronger than that. Continue with all these promotions and appearances. It's gonna help Bad Things.

[@MsFishfish1]

Poor advice. People like her who are not mentally or emotionally strong should steer clear of social media as much as possible. Just live life through life, not through a screen.

[@ahelibiswas3164]

@@MsFishfish1 actually no. She needs to put up a strong face. They know she's vulnerable and they want her to give in so she can't let them do this to her everytime.

[@KTBEverlasting]

@@MsFishfish1 I agree. She should continue work but really reduce social media. It can really get very overbearing and toxic.

[@WaynesPokeWorld]

Her first single I feel wasn’t true to her heart. She become a character but this sounds more vulnerable and REAL ❤❤❤

[@JTScott1988]

I think it was it just was a different vibe. This one is the way it is cuz it’s about her mom and dad. But she still loves rnb and bad Boyz lolz that’s not fake. I think a lotta white folks think this cuz they HATE black representation and that includes our music

[@Das644]

[@davidbosquette2940]

She's lovely. All the negative BS flung at her over the last few years and she rose above it and has been nothing but gracious through it all. Her sound of all the band is actually the most original, she brought so much to that band. Love that she's I a better place. Go Jessy 💕

I seen Jesy posted a video & the girl was in tears as she had an interview about her new song & they had asked about little mix & she had said she hadn’t spoken to them for two years of course I don’t know if it was this interview or another but she was saying that over 12 article were made about it only they added miles to it!! Jesy just wanted to talk about her new song which is absolutely fabulous which is really close to her heart & this is just so unfair this girl has had it so bad since she started her career & she’s handled all the hate with so much grace it’s just time to give this beautiful girl a break & let her live & make her music & btw what a beautiful voice Jesy has ❤
