Pop star Jessie J has written a heart-breaking ballad about a family member's health crisis.
The singer has been secretly dealing with devastating issues at home as one of her relatives struggles with ill health and she has poured out her feelings in a new song, which may feature on her upcoming second album, reported Contactmusic.
"It's very emotional, it's very personal, it's about a family member of mine who isn't themselves any more. They're still alive but they're not themselves, in the sense that illness has taken them away a little bit, without giving too much away. And I needed to write a song about it," Jessie said.
However, the 'Price Tag' hitmaker fears the track is too personal to ever sing live.
"I hope my fans respect that. I gave my all in the vocals so that they have that - it sounds like a live performance. It's just piano and strings and me - that's it," she added.
