McCartney rose to fame in the early 2000s as a member of the boy band Dream Street. He branched into a solo career, releasing his first EP in July 2004. McCartney's debut solo album, Beautiful Soul, which was two years in the making, was released on September 28, 2004 in the United States and over a year later in Europe. He categorized it as a "pop record" with twists of urban. The album featured four songs that he co-wrote. Beautiful Soul reached number 15 on the Billboard 200. As of mid-2006, the album had sold more than 1.5 million copies. The album has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, denoting over one million units of shipment to US retailers. It is his highest-certified album as of early 2009. The album's eponymous single reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

McCartney received multiple awards at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, winning Choice Crossover Artist; Choice Male Artist; and Choice Breakout, Male. The following year, he won Favorite Male Singer at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

His first headlining tour, also named Beautiful Soul, began on May 2, 2005 at the Crest Theatre in Sacramento, California. The United States portion of the tour spanned 56 stops, ending on September 10, 2005 at the Madera District County Fair in Madera, California. In the fall of 2005, McCartney toured Australia and opened for the Backstreet Boys in Europe in the summer of 2005. His July 9, 2005 performance at California's Great America in Santa Clara, California was recorded and released as Live: The Beautiful Soul Tour in November 2005.

He has contributed to numerous Disney soundtracks including Disneymania 2, Radio Disney Jingle Jams, A Cinderella Story, That's So Raven, Stuck in the Suburbs, Disneymania 3, Sydney White, Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 7, Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 8, DisneyMania 4, Hannah Montana, Radio Disney: Party Jams, That's So Raven Too!, and Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 9.

After the filming of his movie, Keith, wrapped, McCartney worked on his second album, Right Where You Want Me, co-writing all but one of the songs featured in it. Right Where You Want Me is more mature than his debut, reflecting his musical and personal growth since he recorded his debut album at age 15. Released by Hollywood Records on September 19, 2006, the album reached number 14 on the Billboard 200. The lead single from the album, Right Where You Want Me, began receiving airplay on July 11, 2006. Although his manager stated he will not be launching a new tour due to insufficient support from his record company, McCartney has done various shows in Italy as well as the United States.

McCartney released his third album, Departure, on May 20, 2008 in the United States and Canada. Musically, it is a departure from his early works, showing mature themes. The album has reached number 14 on the Billboard 200. The album's lead single Leavin' was released in March 2008, and reached number (10) on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, giving McCartney his highest-charting single to date. The single has been certified platinum by the RIAA selling over than 3 millions copies ,and over 2 millions downloads on iTunes, thus becoming McCartney's highest-certified single as of early 2009. The second single, It's Over, was released on August 26, 2008, and failed to match the success of the lead single, only reaching #42 on the Hot 100. McCartney promoted Departure on a co-headlining tour with Jordin Sparks, which began in August 2008 and ended in September. He also did solo shows at theaters and small venues to support the album while on tour with Sparks.

McCartney re-released Departure on April 7, 2009. The re-release, Departure: Recharged, featured 4 new songs, Body Language, Oxygen, Crash & Burn and In My Veins. The re-release also features a remix of How Do You Sleep? with rapper/actor Ludacris. The third single from the album was released from the re-release and was the remix of How Do You Sleep? It was much more successful than the second single, reaching #26 on the Hot 100, The fourth and final single from the album was also released from the re-release and was a new version of Body Language featuring T-Pain. The single has peaked at #10 on the Billboard Dance/Club Songs in its 13th week and still rising.

McCartney stated that his fourth album will have a similar sound to Departure but will be more rhythm and blues and urban than his third album. In March 2010, it was announced that Sean Garrett produced three songs for the project and that the album will be released Later in 2010. Jesse is now working on releasing a brand new album called Have It All. Jesse recently filmed a television pilot for a brand new fox show called "Locke and Key"

Bleeding Love
Jesse McCartney Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know
It you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time
With you
My heart melts
Into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's
Looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care
What they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know
The truth
My heart's crippled
By the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding

Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds
Fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothings greater
Than the rush that comes
With your embrace
And in this
World of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks
That I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe

But I don't care
What they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know
The truth
My heart's crippled
By the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

And it's draining all of me
Oh, they find it
Hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

But I don't care
What they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know
The truth
My heart's crippled
By the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Overall Meaning

This song is about the experience of falling in love after being hurt in previous relationships. The singer starts by saying that they had closed themselves off to love, afraid of the pain that comes with it. However, they then find themselves falling for someone, and it's different from anything they've experienced before. The other people in their life don't understand their feelings and try to discourage them, but they don't care. They know their heart is vulnerable, but they can't help how they feel.

The line "My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing" is particularly poignant. It suggests that the singer has been hurt in the past and has tried to protect themselves by closing themselves off emotionally. However, this new love has cut them open and made them vulnerable again. The pain of their past is still with them, but they're willing to take the risk and keep bleeding for the person they love.

Overall, "Bleeding Love" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the experience of falling in love after being hurt before. It's a reminder that love isn't always easy, but it's worth the risk.

@Kayleigh Teston the clues! If u watch the first clue package the biggest clues I noticed that tells me its him is when he is drawing on the chalk board it says Don't Rave Ever At My School - Turtle. It doesn't really make sense but if u take the first letter of each word it spells out Dream St. Which is a boy band he was in when he was like 12 or something. Then the surf boad hes wiping down reminds of of the TV show he was on with Zac Efron called Summerland and he lives on a beach and works in a surf shop or he knows someone who works in a surf shop. Then there is a lunch menu and is says something about beets and ginger snaps. He sang with a group called sugar beats I believe and his moms name is ginger (that one may be a stretch). Plus his voice. The way he pronouces his words when he sings. Its pretty distinct. He was my Justin Bieber back in the day so I know a lot about this man. Lol. 💖

Man I never knew he had a version. It sounds like something Bruno Mars would have wrote. Amazing.

@itsbubblybritt

Actually, he wrote it for his own album and later gave it away to Leona... He said in an interview that "if he knew it was going to be such a monster he would've kept it for himself"... haha oh well!

@Miss_christie1217

Ryan B Tedder, leader of one republic wrote it

@MoopDoop

@Miss_christie1217 and Jesse co wrote it.

@asktheglutenfreechef3072

4y↑2

@Miss_christie1217 no, Jesse wrote this song first solo and Ryan came later with a rearrange after the label refused it for Jesse

Jesse McCartney was my hero when I was a kid he was the reason I started singing I wanted to be him I remember singing his songs on the radio when I was like 4-5 years old

@ChibiMisaki

I love him still. I was like the only black girl in my school that listened to him and jonas brothers and all that. I know he wrote the song, I think it fits him more, but Leona's version is good too for her voice. She sounds real whiny and he sounds, like Jesse. ~~^.^~~

@keelmonger9343

He didn't write this song

@frodolives26

keelmonger !!! Uh, yeah, he did. It’s called common knowledge, dude.

Amazing song, singer writer, the whole package, is Jesse. .I love Anthony Callea's version the most of the three, but of course Leona Lewis' is pretty terrific!

@rasslebaby

14y↑48

I love his version. Compared to Leona's, it isn't as powerful, but it's equally emotional.

@thesailorvenus

I just love this version

@21CenturyChick

13y↑2

And people actually think that he's not talented? He wrote this song with Ryan Tedder but his label didn't like the song and didn't want to put it in the album. Imagine if they did release the song. He'd be massive! He deserve it so much...

@greenbitch421

Dude is just one of those guys that comes out their moms womb with big blue eyes serenading every nurse in the room. Music like this is so natural he literally makes another timeless never die hit and just hands it away to someone and says best wishes. That chorus of keep keep bleeding love is so iconic. I thought he made the sone but Leona mixed her own melodies. This guy wrote the entire blueprint

@caseyeagleeye

Love this version!!!

@luvrgrl32

I used to have the biggest crush on Jesse back in 03-04 when I was like 7-8. This song made me love him all over again.

@DragonHeir92

Different sounding if a male sings it...someone said it sounds like raw emotion; I have to agree with that one! I really like the vocal runs he starts doing at 3:10 with the chorus onward.

@katycathk

9y↑4

I can relate.

Ignoring my user photo and name, I feel like I'm sinking into someone else's shoes when listening to his version. Don't get me wrong, Leona's is good too, but the emotional work for Jesse's is higher.

I love the bridge after the 2nd chorus. It lifted me up :3

@amanietingle6379

TWO OF MY FREAKING MOST FAVORITE SINGERS WROTE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS AND I HAD NO CLUE. And I was obsessed with Jesse McCartney and this song for like the longest time a long time ago. I especially liked Jesse's Beautiful Soul album. :)

There's always huge difference when the arrangement is changed in order to suit an artist's style or voice.

@coveguy16

@StiflersMomTTV

I am in SHOCK this was his song. this just proves that record labels many time aren't shit. this with a proper remaster would launch him all over again.

@AriannaSlash

He's much much better this version!!! :)

@askylibrarianoftheoceans4102

12y↑130

No he didn't. He and Ryan Tedder wrote it for Departure. Hollywood records didn't like it. It was after Simon Cowell said that he was looking for songs for Lewis' debut album after the The X Factor that Tedder changed the key. The point being that this song was written (and I think recorded) before Leona Lewis was on The X Factor. After that version's success, McCarthy re-recorded his original

@dartes2008

Aust Kyzor you are correct

@dartes2008

Aust Kyzor Hollywood récords always is complaining but yet have no singing artist like Selena gomez

@DanA-zf8bt

Artes Lavenda Agreed completely. They should be shut down for casting an artist like her.

@JuliaOfHeart

And yet I cannot find a version of it on iTunes

@bitchysehun6070

Hollywood Records doesn't like great singers they love mediocre talentless singer who always use autotune.

@Mollykat5054

I love this version of his song much better! It's his song! He's got to reboot his career soon!!!!
