  • When people ask Jessie Reyez what her song “Mutual Friend” is about, she just laughs. “It’s literal,” the Canadian singer-songwriter tells Genius in our latest installment of Verified. “Everything in the song is the story of what happened that day.”
    Reyez wrote the song-which already has more than 2.1 million Spotify plays-with producer Rykeyz in roughly 20 minutes at the end of a session. She was inspired by something that happened the day before. As the song came to life, they only recorded two vocal takes, and most of what you hear on the finished song comes from the original.

    I LOVE how she compared the "grateful I didn't hurt you back" vs the "I wish I could hurt you back" growth and healing.

    She's so beautiful. Inside and out. She doesn't pretend to be perfect and that's why her songs resonate so hard with people

    “Sometimes you gotta lean into the rawness.” Jessie’s rawness and ability to dive inside of herself is why, in my opinion, she’s the lyrical goat of our generation.

    I'm definitely stuck in that "closed off, can't give anyone my heart" circle of self inflicted hatred of the idea of love. Wouldn't wish this on anyone. I'm loving seeing the growth. Makes me super excited to see what Jessie has in store for us in the near future. I fu*king love Mutual Friend! The whole album is a masterpiece!!!! 👑

    Genuine, raw, authentic artists are so hard to find. She’s truly connected to her emotions and visualizes her path clearly. 😩 toda una reina! Beautiful inside and out. Im really hoping she receives all the accolades she deserves. And goes as far as she desires.

    'For me its growth-- It might not be growth in the best way because I've obviously become a little colder; but I'm not done healing, and I'm not done growing.' ❤❤❤

    I.say this all the time. She makes songs so heart-felt using the most basic words. People use a vocabulary that hits you ,but it's not the same as using basic words. I don't know how else to say it.

    This song gave me the courage to cut loose my friend with benefit. We lost the friend, he just wanted the benefit. He kept trying to make me feel bad for hanging out with fam and focusing on school instead of hooking up with him. After hearing this song and Fraud I realized its ok to be scared, what I was feeling isn't crazy, and its okay to want more for yourself. Sent him message combining lyrics. Wonder he ever gna figure out one day that message was Jessies lyrics. Ty @jessiereyez ILY . Your beauty radiates from within. You have soul, lips, hair brows, voice of a godess!
