Jhene is telling the pressures of juggling friendships, love life, motherhood, being a celebrity and finding her peace. But also remember that it’s ok to cut off fake/dramatic friends, toxic relationships, take a break from your children here and there, and being alone in the spotlight. After all if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love yourself? Now can I get an amen up in here??? 🙏🏾
I smoke my spliff and get high, listening to this angel who had saved me from suicide and I fall in love with her spirit more and more each day.....us EMPATHS feel this so much
Me too. Especially this past yr with this whole covid. Really felt i would end it all times. The spiritual warfare we are in is scary but listening to her music at times made me feel i wasnt alone and the way i feel about life
Pay attention to the signs. Stay and listen and you will fine everything ain't rocket science every gem is not a diamond...man I love that part soo much.
michael syme um who tf is you sir. U make this how ever u want. All I said is that it's my favorite part. Like that not a big ass deal. and i know what this song mean and I love this song. It's one of my favorites by her, but you taking what I said and threw that shit out of proportion.
I remember laying in a twin size bed, falling asleep in my work clothes listening to this, going to college and working with a 4 year old. I remember watching this video and singing this over and over before falling asleep just to get up again in 3 hours. Being just exhausted. The videos for surrender and love have me going down a jhene rabbit hole rn lol.
when you feel it going through your viens , just pumping in and out of sanity , go through the madness to conquer what makes you go mad , cause you know what the pressure is boiling up to a degree that doesn't intrigue or match up to be . . . . . ajlc
yes but also the general ideal that just because something or someone seems like the best high quality thing to happen to u but it may not it can be smoke n mirrors
I love that her videos represent the song i clearly saw the message here... the pressures of being famous...of having a normal relationship while being in the industry...having to miss out on important family occasions (her daughter bday party) to attend awards and other shit what seems irrelevant to her...the pressure of being an artist and a woman. LOVE IT!
Jhene Aiko I been listening to you since I was 13, 23 now. And you made me forget all of what I was/am going thru thank you , you Inspire me into finding my inner peace
BrOwN3yer0$eBUD Bitch I didn't say that to be or sound cool. If I have to state something I will say it. I'm not gonna stop myself for that. I don't speak for you people I speak for me. The fuck?
Jhene is the epitome of "zen". I love her peaceful spirit, it is so inspiring. I wish i had that kind of presence. herr music just makes you feel so at peace with everything.
Been going through some crazy self realisations and a major spiritual awakening this year, your music has helped me gain a calmer view on life... if that makes sense. You are incredible girl.
Why are people hating on her style and choice of videos?? I thought freedom of speech and expression was acceptable in this day and age. I like the video and I understand the concept of it. I don't think she cares about making hits or getting on the charts, as long as she's happy with her choices then that's all that matters. I can't wait for her CD to come out. I know it's filled with great songs that I can vibe to and have hits that'll top her other ones probably.
Thats all this generation about sells and who can chart the highest, thats why all this bullshit ass music is charting cause ppl dont take the time to understand real art and the vision for it. If they dont hear a nice beat or see naked ass , they don't care.
In today's music industry, album sales are obsolete and irrelevant. Jhene will make all of her money off touring. Album sales mean nothing. She has achieved mainstream popularity yet, she is still independent in terms of creative control. She knows what she is doing.
musiconcloud17 I know that's why she's my favorite singer. She's smart and very intelligent about her music and how she goes about with marketing. I love her style and her songs. I don't know why most artists aren't like her. I think she's going to be a very good influence to other artists in the industry. at least I hope so. I know her tours are going to be amazing, and I can't wait for them though.
People, her look in this video is called "Faux Dreads", it's an Afrocentric hairstyle look. It matches her personality and mood of the song. That's why she looks like that, to make an African Spiritual setting. Don't be so Ignorant. She's a great artist and makes beautiful music.
My favorite line of this song is when she says "Well it's really out of my control, the way you feel is not my problem". That is exactly how I feel a lot of the time!! Jhene Aiko is amazing and I have loved her since her 2011 sailing souls mixtape.
The Reason I've Been Captivated By Miss Jhene' Aiko For The Past 10 Years Is Because She Has An Unwillingness To Give Into THE PRESSURE (No Pun Intended) Of Mainstream Society & Music... She Has Always Stayed True To Herself & Her Craft... Doing What She Loves & Never Selling Out... This Woman Is The True Definition Of An ARTIST & A HUSTLER!!! YOU CAN KEEP YOUR MANUFACTURED, ONLY HOT IN THE STUDIO CAUSE IT WAS MADE FOR THE CLUB MUSIC I'LL Continue To Support Miss Jhene' Aiko & Other Artist Like Her ♡
Enheritance Dorrico 7st, I am a very long, long story short. . 04 I have been 700 I have been a long day at a very long 8th St Paul McCartney I am not a good
Been on this since 2014 when I was 15. Turning 21 in a few weeks and now I not only lose myself in her voice but truly understand what's she singing about. #sisterPisces
KeesusChrist She's actually been around for almost 13 years. She was signed to the same management as B2K back in the day and featured on some of their songs. She was supposed to release her debut album back in 2003, but it got shelved.
This song helped me during a domestic violence relationship when I was 18 and he's also my child's father. Me and him always argued and never could get on the right track . " you are such a lyer , I never denied u I was 4sho " he use to deny me in front of ppl ... he's dead now and I see he was placed in my life to make me who I am today . Thank you for this beautiful song
Because you gave apart of yourself to that person. Loving someone is like giving someone apart of you and yes when they don't love you back the sh*t sucks but you have to move on in your life. If they don't love you back you should ask them why are they stupid 😂 but it's there lose. Keep your head up.
Her music so timeless. Can't believe this came out 6 yrs ago. There's few artists that put me in a zone when listening to them and that's Jhene, Tinashe, and Snoh Alegra
I love this woman's music. So chill. You can tell she is spiritual and she talks about real life, not just the usual crap many female artists of her generation talk about. She really helps calm my depression and anxiety.
Reading the comments smh.. For one , yall dont know who Jhene really is. Some of yall started tagging along since the worse but Jhene real! She don't care for high price videos and all that bullshit. Its just her and the ppl thats been around her every since sailing souls. You dont have to have a high budget video if your music speak for itself. Every artist don't have to disrespect themselves just for views man. She have her best friend in the video and her daughter . Keep it Jhene, I know your vision and what you're doin wit your art, keep it up!

I smoke my spliff and get high, listening to this angel who had saved me from suicide and I fall in love with her spirit more and more each day.....us EMPATHS feel this so much
everyday!!
@@vickywiggins11 she’s so pure
im glad youre still here.
Me too. Especially this past yr with this whole covid. Really felt i would end it all times. The spiritual warfare we are in is scary but listening to her music at times made me feel i wasnt alone and the way i feel about life
@@jiggarose6867 exactly! Remember, you're not alone!
Her music just puts me in a zone that I cant describe 😌
Same
+Ayanna Baker It does Ayanna ... cant explain it.......
ur comfort zone :-)
agreed
too true
Jhene Aiko's music just has a way of taking you to a place of uninterrupted calm & tranquility I love her. ✌️
i agree and the concepts of her videos make you think. She's hella talented and underrated.
Ta'Tiano Robinson that's why i love her. she's completely different from all these other musicians we hear.
I totally agree
The female Drake lol
Indeed! Underrated
She's so unique. Y'all don't appreciate her enough
AMEN TO THAT SISTER
You right....love Aiko day
but the video got 12million plays? durp! 🤔
I do ❤️
We do!
Pay attention to the signs. Stay and listen and you will fine everything ain't rocket science every gem is not a diamond...man I love that part soo much.
yessss
Dude calm down. It's not that deep.
she was very deep with it.... it's beyond the lyrics
michael syme um who tf is you sir. U make this how ever u want. All I said is that it's my favorite part. Like that not a big ass deal. and i know what this song mean and I love this song. It's one of my favorites by her, but you taking what I said and threw that shit out of proportion.
Ikr
Jhene Aiko's voice is beautiful, I could fall asleep to her voice.
agreed
I have
I do just about ever night
well said
i have a playlist with some of her songs and collabs to sleep to
idk why this song never got big. this was fire
damn your pretty
Because the public has crap taste and doesn't appreciate true gems like this song.
MissMulatto of course! how could i forget lol
TheBlackSuper Saiyan why thank you!
It could be because it's too slow to play on the radio. The public has a.d.d. and needs fast catchy songs.

I haven't been this obsessed with an R&B artist since Aaliyah.
SoyBoi 💯💯💯
Right! 😍
I was looking for a Aaliyah related comment I agreeee
OMG, I Feel you!!JHENE aikos music is so additive.every song she does..I CAN NOT STOP Listening to them!! Aliyah yes!!But Sade..
FACTS💯
My whole body feels so relaxed whenever I hear this it's like a whole other realm and all my pain and anxiety and pressure is gone 🌌
when you feel it going through your viens , just pumping in and out of sanity , go through the madness to conquer what makes you go mad , cause you know what the pressure is boiling up to a degree that doesn't intrigue or match up to be . . . . . ajlc
j̷k̷h̷_25 yesss
cant relate more.... i love this women so much.
I meditate with this song everyday and it really helps me relax
Most of her songs have that effect on me it’s like her music takes you to a different place a higher plane ❤
Every gem is not a diamond = every boyfriend is not a husband ?
yes but also the general ideal that just because something or someone seems like the best high quality thing to happen to u but it may not it can be smoke n mirrors
Everyone isn’t authentic
A diamond is a gemstone but the intense pressure it takes to make a diamond is completely different from any other gem
moi2foi makes sense
TRU
Jhene Aiko
Sevyn Streeter
Tinashe

Loving Female Perspective of R&B right now
Sean STROMAN Syd (the internet)
Yas yas yas YAS!!! And H.E.R.!
Plus Sabrina Claudio
Tink - love me for somebody body anything they made honestly just listen
Willow Smith.
I love both this and Female Energy
yeah but the world must be equal this needs to have more Male energy cause equality right??
@Jerry Kariuki female energy had this.
@@mizchief7305 female energy is the name of a song with some of the same lyrics
Yeah I said the same thing. Kinda threw me off.
I always see your comments under videos😂 we should be friends
she gives me chills. j Cole and jhene are so underated
+ball deep in the bacon I don't think so and if so its still not enough recognition
+ball deep in the bacon He has been gaining a lot of hype, but he is still very underrated like Jhene Aiko.
+Shawn Michaels how is he underrated ?
yea , he's fake deep and people buy into that shit
+XOShojoAngelXO nah
I love that her videos represent the song i clearly saw the message here... the pressures of being famous...of having a normal relationship while being in the industry...having to miss out on important family occasions (her daughter bday party) to attend awards and other shit what seems irrelevant to her...the pressure of being an artist and a woman. LOVE IT!
finally, an interpretation lol. thank you
I too understood what she was portraying in her video.
Thank you!
EXACTLY 10000000% CORRECT!!!!!!
damn no wonder!
All these new "artist" from H.E.R etc needs to thank their Momma Jhene Aiko because it's her sound, melody and music structure they have.
She takes me where sade used to take me. Such a beautiful voice, relaxing, tranquil..
Spot on
thats a very grand comparison but u right
@@princessjulian5750 not a comparison, just saying it makes her feel the same
Only correction is where Sade “still” takes me 👌🏾
Jhene is such a unique artist. Great song and video.
Jhene Aiko I been listening to you since I was 13, 23 now. And you made me forget all of what I was/am going thru thank you , you Inspire me into finding my inner peace
yessss I'm high af & this shit is smooth in my ears. my type of joint. 😍
Shema Lee no pun intended?
Shema Lee No one asked. Talking about being high makes you a loser. No one thinks you're cool. Keep your proclivities to yourself.
BrOwN3yer0$eBUD Bitch I didn't say that to be or sound cool. If I have to state something I will say it. I'm not gonna stop myself for that. I don't speak for you people I speak for me. The fuck?

2024 and this still in my rotation 😭
The video is very smart, I loved the red carpet scene. I bet it resonates with a lot of celebrities.
Been going through some crazy self realisations and a major spiritual awakening this year, your music has helped me gain a calmer view on life... if that makes sense. You are incredible girl.
Jhene Aiko is dope because she doesn't have to try so hard . Her lyrics are clean but Still catchy . Gotta respect that

Whenever I listen to Jhene, there's this tears of joy flowing down from my eyes.
Jhene really revived rnb . Sometimes iask myself , where did she come from? 1 day iwill hug her for what she gifted us all with ...REAL MUSIC !!
she been around for years, just didnt pop until now.
Lol I know ! I have been a fan for years now !
KeesusChrist She's actually been around for almost 13 years. She was signed to the same management as B2K back in the day and featured on some of their songs. She was supposed to release her debut album back in 2003, but it got shelved.
I beg to differ, Janelle Monae has done a great job in the revival of RnB...don't sleep now
Her and janelle monet deserve credit also that ravaughn was going to be good but no more muisic? Miguel and august are dope too
love her calm, spiritual vibe

This song helped me during a domestic violence relationship when I was 18 and he's also my child's father. Me and him always argued and never could get on the right track . " you are such a lyer , I never denied u I was 4sho " he use to deny me in front of ppl ... he's dead now and I see he was placed in my life to make me who I am today . Thank you for this beautiful song
After going through some shit. I think this song is about depression brought on by the pursuit of perfection.
I'm such a fan of this girl.. souled out deserves a Grammy..
this album was a top 3 album to come out this year..this shit is soooo fire my nigga!
You have helped me with your music during my darkest moments, you truly are my role model, named my daughter in honor of you ❤ my little Jhené

She just seems to be in her own peaceful world .....so beautiful I love her
100%!!!
just love jhene man her music puts me at ease
I used to watch this video on vh1 soul. Jhene been smooth
Can someone explain to me why when you love someone and they don't love you back , why does it hurts so much
When you find love in everything, you won't need love from other people. Bc then you can have enough love for them & yourself.
This is so cuz love provokes emotions. It is either good or bad
Because you gave apart of yourself to that person. Loving someone is like giving someone apart of you and yes when they don't love you back the sh*t sucks but you have to move on in your life. If they don't love you back you should ask them why are they stupid 😂 but it's there lose. Keep your head up.
Jhene is too dope for most people. They can't handle the feelings.
2024 signing in again for the million time! Queen status
i've never seen someone to beautiful in my life. jhene's songs take me places that hurt my heart but i love it at the same time
Her music so timeless. Can't believe this came out 6 yrs ago. There's few artists that put me in a zone when listening to them and that's Jhene, Tinashe, and Snoh Alegra
Such a real
Song the pressure is real 🙏🏽✌🏽🏁
2023 just found her for the 1st time and I'm 40!!! Love these beats.

I love your voice! its so soft and gentle
One of my favorites 🩶
I love this woman's music. So chill. You can tell she is spiritual and she talks about real life, not just the usual crap many female artists of her generation talk about. She really helps calm my depression and anxiety.
Reading the comments smh.. For one , yall dont know who Jhene really is. Some of yall started tagging along since the worse but Jhene real! She don't care for high price videos and all that bullshit. Its just her and the ppl thats been around her every since sailing souls. You dont have to have a high budget video if your music speak for itself. Every artist don't have to disrespect themselves just for views man. She have her best friend in the video and her daughter . Keep it Jhene, I know your vision and what you're doin wit your art, keep it up!
Love this!!!
