Jessie J - Petty Lyrics






So inviting, but you were biting
Whole time, playing shy, side-eyeing
If I showed the world what you said, it ain't beautiful
They think you're so sweet, but behind the scenes, you're cold and cruel
You're my older, I done told ya
Got a motherfucking chip on your shoulder
You got issues
It's official
Take my name out your mouth, don't chew

Stay out my sun with your shady ass
Leaving these comments on my photographs
When you go off, I try not to laugh

You're so, you're so, you're so
Petty, petty, petty ain't the word for you
You got something else that you always do
Petty, petty, petty ain't the word for you
You got something else that you always do
You're so, you're so, you're so petty
You're so, you're so, you're so petty
You're so, you're so, you're so petty
You're so, you're so, you're so

The game started, play broken-hearted
Opportunist, thirsty for stardom
Heard you dropped my name, stiffing closer to the fame, it's cool
It just makes me sad you stay saying shit to come up, to come through
Live in your own world, fiction film girl
When your lights go out, truth comes down
Nobody's playing with you (nobody)
I stay praying for you (you're sorry)

Stay out my sun, with your shady ass (stay out of my)
Leaving these comments on my photographs (leaving, leaving these comments)
When you go off, I try not to laugh (hey)

You're so, you're so, you're so
Petty, petty, petty ain't the word for you (you're so petty, petty)
You got something else that you always do
Petty, petty, petty ain't the word for you
You got something else that you always do
You're so, you're so, you're so petty (hey)
You're so, you're so, you're so petty (yeah, yeah)
You're so, you're so, you're so petty (oh)
You're so, you're so, you're so (oh, baby, oh no)

Jessie J Petty Comments
  1. G.... L....

    I'm SO PETTY 💞🌹

  2. L.... M....

    Game changerr!! Ayayay! Beautiful, THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU JESSIEEE!! XXX

  3. C.... T....

    I love this song

  4. M.... R....

    Someone tell me how this is about Brandy??

  5. M.... D....

    She actually sound like Brandy a little

  6. L.... ....

    I used to think the song was about Tinie Tampah or her management in general, but it’s about Brandy 😱

    L.... ....

    How do you know?

  7. M.... B....

    Diss record to Brandy ,,who would’ve knew

  8. J.... K....

    This can’t be about Brandy if she saying she “thirsty for fame”& how could somebody who’s been in the game over 25 years “come up” off of her🤔I still love both regardless🤷🏾‍♂️

    J.... K....

    Brandy is known to be shady to other female artists

    J.... K....

    This isn't about Brandy. i bet This is about Delta Goodrem. She is an australian singer and her co-coach at the Voice Australia. They had altercation while taping the show.

  9. J.... ....

    I don't think this song is about Brandy. However, there were a few subliminals that could definitely make it seem so such as the (potential?) references to "The Game" and "Brokenhearted." However, Jessie J and Brandy released their song together in 2013, and when Brandy released "Beggin and Pleadin" in 2016 Jessie J--along with Sam Smith--was one of the first people to rep that track. I could see there potentially being a beef about whether the song would be released as a single or something when they were working together but they supported each other years afterward. What type of beef would they have more than three years after working together?

    Second, and more importantly, this song was co-written and produced by DJ Camper. For those who don't know, DJ Camper is the main producer on Brandy's forthcoming record. Do you think she would be working with him on a whole album if he wrote on a song like this disparaging her? Do you think he would want to work with her if he felt this way about her?

    This is why people in the music and film industries are so schizo--one thing gets completely misinterpreted and then millions of people start interjecting their opinions. If you want a true friend in Hollywood, you should buy a dog since everyone in that town is looking for their next come up. Nice reach #chroniclespeaks but you gon' have to ice your shoulder after that, sis!

  10. S.... S....

    Chile this about brandy lol

  11. S.... L....

    Hell yeah the song is about Brandy she reference broken-hearted girl you know that's Brandy song fiction film star kno brandy has been on TV shows and movies hell yeah this is about Brandy Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could see this shit is about Brandy but I don't give a shit Monica would have had me messed up hitting me in my face before I sang we both would have been tore up on that stage and I sing go check me out at Sephora Lydia Israel that's my channel click a like button and subscribe

  12. E.... T....

    And had the nerve to throw "Brokenhearted" in there like that's not one of Brandy's songs!! Lolol "Fiction film" girl.

  13. d.... ....

    Thank you Empressive 😍

  14. R.... T....

    Jessie J is a Truly Amazing artist !!! She killed this shit 🔥🔥 🔥 it's a clear jab at home girl & i live !!!

  15. J.... ....

    This song bangs a lot more when you know what it’s about 👀👀👀

    J.... ....

    About what is?

  16. J.... R....

    Song about Brandy

  17. H.... T....

    Damn, this Brandy diss is fucking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. When you go off I try not laugh. Geesh😣😂

  18. K.... H....

    Hmmmmmmmmm chile Brandy 🤦‍♀️

  19. S.... M....

    Is this for brandy though? Brandy didn’t need no come up, she was the biggest thing from the 90’s and she’s an icon for both film and music. I don’t know but this was really good, but I don’t think it’s for Brandy.

    S.... M....

    Sage Mchottie let’s hope not cause the starz will drag her

  20. B.... J....

    So this about Brandy

  21. M.... M....

    Who's here after watching #chroniclespeaks ?

    M.... M....

    Also me #chroniclespeaks

    M.... M....

    🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

    M.... M....

    I just got here. cp time a mofo ain't it?! Lmao

  22. #.... E....

    Is this song about the R&B singer brandy??????????

    #.... E....

    I believe it is about Luke James. I actually think this entire album is about him! I love "Think about that" ...

    #.... E....

    Cali Park Think About That is actually about one of her record label. I thought it was about Luke James too but she’s cleared it up in some interviews

  23. G.... ....

    IS THE RUMORS TRUEEEE????? BRUHHH WHAT BRANDY DO 😭😭

  24. G.... ....

    I've heard this song was about brandy😭😭😭😭👀👀👀👀 is it true??

    G.... ....

    I think so because she talked about ‘beautiful’ and ‘brokenhearted’ and those were both Brandy singles. And she said fiction film girl, for Brandy’s movies. Seems like clues to me- she went all the way in, sheesh!😂

  25. P.... B....

    This song is about Brandy...

    P.... B....

    Sorry, who is Brandy?

    P.... B....

    @Natalia Luque the world renowned singer from the 90s.

    P.... B....

    @Philly Bunay thank you.

  26. N.... E....

    This song is about Brandy 😂😂

  27. J.... C....

    Just heard a rumor this was/is about the singer Brandy...can anyone confirm???

    J.... C....

    That's the word! It's about her 🤦🏾‍♀️

    J.... C....

    👀👀👀 Thats the tea!

    J.... C....

    I just heard the same thing

    J.... C....

    Nope. I bet she was referring to Delta Goodrem.

  28. a.... n....

  30. l.... I....

    it's 2019. You're on tour right now, to be more precise in Switzerland. Tomorrow you're coming to Germany. I wanna see you perform live so bad. The tickets aren't even expensive but I have school and my mom has work. It breaks my heart not being able to hear your voice in person, seeing you in person, not being able to listen to you connecting to the audience. I don't know the next time you're coming to Germany or if there even is a next time. Just thinking about that makes me wanna cry, because I just adore you so much and it's painful knowing that you're so near yet so far at the same time..

  31. M.... C....

    Does anyone think "Break Up With Your Girlfriend" by Ariana Grande goes well along with this too? lol I feel they balance off each other for some reason....

  32. D.... X....

    Incredible Albuuuum!

  33. L.... e....

    I M IN LOVE FOR THIS SONG

  34. M.... B....

    This song is such a mood

  35. B.... ....

    ❤❤❤❤

  36. A.... O....

    Love this song!

  37. J.... J....

    QUEEEEEN OF THE WORLD

  38. S.... X....

    Honestly, One Night Lover, Petty, & Dangerous should’ve been the singles off this album. The singles she chose were fantastic don’t get me wrong but commercially, these songs would have done much better and have wider appeal. She literally kept all the bops on the album hidden and released deep-cuts. Much respect for queen Jessie tho for doing what makes her happy and singing the songs that were the most influential to her!💖💖💖

  39. C.... M....

    This song at 1.25x speed would be a radio BANGER!!!

  40. Q.... K....

    This for my Boyfriends Bitter Baby" mother" haha

  41. Q.... N....

    PETTY PETTY PETTY

  76. C.... M....

    I don't understand. Her channel has 7 Million subscribers. Why does this song only have 5K views??

    C.... M....

    C M Singles usually get the most views

    C.... M....

    Tahmir Lamb True, but her single "Queen" is still lowish in views (4 M)

    C.... M....

    C M I think since it's the audio and not the video, it's gonna have less

    C.... M....

    Because Youtube only sells what sells well. They only advertise what is popular.

  80. R.... D....

    more people need to listen to this shit

  81. A.... W....

    Looks like there is room for a feature on the end (REMIX) . . . Maybe Beyoncé could jump on like she did with Telephone...you heard it first here folks!!!!

    A.... W....

    enigmaticstatic 7 Whew chile the GHETTOOOO!!! You really went out of your way to type “nuttin”??? You were so quick to say some mean shit you didn’t even read what I typed. I didn’t talk about the album nor it’s results because it’s not a Beyoncé record it’s a Carter’s record. I brung up the TOUR because if we’re being real everyone is going to see Beyoncé. You’re EXACTLY like the person Jessie is describing in this song... PETTY. And let’s not act like Jessie isn’t influenced by Beyoncé & like R.O.S.E doesn’t have Lemonade influences. Jessie wouldn’t approve of your opinion 🤷🏽‍♂️

    A.... W....

    Xavier Reid you have alot of time on ur hands i dont. Jessie is a friend of mine so approval is not needed by anyone. Get a life u muppet!

    A.... W....

    enigmaticstatic 7 🙄🙄🙄 Yikes that delusion keeps jumping out. You clearly didn’t listen to the album because you perfectly fit the description of someone Jessie would NEVER hang out with. This is getting sad now so I’ll just bid you farewell troll ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

    A.... W....

    enigmaticstatic 7 Make sure you purchase all 4 parts of R.O.S.E & get your OTR 2 tickets!!!

    A.... W....

    Yesssss!!!

  82. B.... B....

    My new anthem 🙌🏽 Queen snapped.

  83. T.... l....

    This song is the sh*t!!! Jessie J needs more recognition for her stellar voice and song writing.
