Post-breakup pop is a competitive genre, but “Therapy & Yoga” by JESSIA brings a fresh spin: she resets, shakes off the heartache, and immerses herself in a bright, summery vibe.
JESSIA's “Therapy & Yoga” doesn’t drag on. It’s just under two minutes long, yet every moment is impactful. Producer Jason Parris surrounds her with rapid, digital keys and a heavy drumbeat that prioritizes energy over forcefulness. A gentle electric guitar hums beneath the surface, contributing to the song's cheerful and uplifting atmosphere. Even in the opening lines, the song already feels as though it's shedding a cold atmosphere.
Unapologetically straightforward, JESSIA bypasses conventional storytelling entirely – she's right there, inviting listeners into her post-breakup experience, radiating warmth and brightness throughout.
You go and run your mouth
About every girl in town
And make sure I see it
Yeah you, hanging at the bar
Feeling like a superstar
‘Cause you’re finally free, yeah
So don’t bother calling if you start to feel regret
I’m already gone, don’t waste your breath
Her voice blends sweetness with sincerity, cutting through with relatable honesty. She sings as if sharing with someone she trusts, laying out the facts without slipping into any drama.
A trace of fatigue emerges at times, yet her delivery carries a cool determination – controlled when necessary and relaxed at other moments. It's not frigid, but there's nothing to be upset about anymore.
Lyrically, JESSIA navigates the aftermath of the breakup – public remarks, hurt pride, her ex hanging “at the bar,” and the moment of separation when her phone starts buzzing but she's already activated “Do Not Disturb.” The emotional core is encapsulated in one of the song's sharpest lines in the chorus:
By the time you realize you’re alone in this world
I’ve already cried and gone out with the girls
Done my therapy and yoga
Forget I even know ya
By the time you figure it out,
I’ll be somebody else’s girl
Here, “therapy and yoga” serves both as a validation and a punchline. These self-care references reflect her new routine honestly. There’s a light, effortless energy to the song; it celebrates freedom with sunlight glimmering at the edges. As the track shifts, everything simplifies. The drums fade out, a synthy string pad fills the air, and then the chorus brings back the energy.
By the end, the shift in power is clear – she’s “dating real men,” and the conclusion feels finalized. The last moment, featuring JESSIA’s solo vocal proudly declaring that she’s “…somebody else’s girl,” arrives with a teasing smirk, a mix of saltiness and sparkle.
Vocally, she balances poise and humor, steering clear of melodrama. JESSIA allows her voice to resonate when it needs an extra push but primarily focuses on telling her story with straightforward clarity. Lines like “So don’t try to call if you start to regret it / I’m already gone / Don’t waste your breath” and the self-assured “I’ll be somebody else’s girl” convey her resolve, even while she reveals just a hint of vulnerability.
It hits you like a bus
In a couple of months
That intimacy isn’t satisfying
I’m dating real men
Don’t have to pretend he gets it every time
Don’t try to call if you start to regret it
I’m already gone, don’t waste your breath
By the time you find you’re alone in this world
I’ve already cried and gone out with the girls
Done my therapy and yoga, forget I even know ya
By the time you find, I’ll be somebody else’s girl
With “Therapy & Yoga,” JESSIA refines her signature style: honest lyrics, streamlined production, and straightforward expression.
The track is vibrant, witty, rejuvenating, and perfect for repeated listening. Our star holds her ground with confidence, and this summery anthem shines brilliantly because of it.
