Following a minor stroke at age 18, she gained a Sony publishing contract and penned hits for the likes of Chris Brown, Dutch X Factor winner Lisa Lois, and Miley Cyrus (the American number two hit "Party in the USA"). After building up an established online presence, she signed to Universal Records and began working with the likes of hitmaker Dr. Luke (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson), Atlanta rapper B.o.B, and R&B producer Labrinth on her debut album, Who You Are. In 2010, her first single, "Do It Like a Dude," originally written for Rihanna, reached number 25 in the U.K. charts and, following in the footsteps of Adele, Florence + the Machine, and Ellie Goulding, she was announced as the winner of the Critics Choice Award at the 2011 Brits. That same year, an appearance on Saturday Night Live coincided with her album being reissued in the U.S.
Following a tour that took in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, Malaysia, and her first show in North America, Jessie J became the first U.K. female solo artist to achieve six Top Ten singles from a single studio album. The success of the sixth single, "LaserLight," featuring David Guetta, was aided in no small part by her appearance as judge on the U.K. edition of The Voice. The hit show gave the singer a chance to display her talent for musical coaching, while building a rapport with fans both old and new on prime-time television. Also involved were Tom Jones and will.i.am, with whom Jessie J performed at Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Concert in June 2012, before heading back to the studio to work on the follow-up to Who You Are.
After finishing her second and final season of coaching on The Voice in 2013, J returned with the singles "Wild" and "It's My Party," which preceded her second album, Alive, that September. With a planned U.S.-only version of Alive featuring collaborations with Pharrell Williams eventually put aside, J instead focused on recording new material for what would become her third studio album, Sweet Talker. Including the likes of Diplo, the-Dream, and the aforementioned Pharrell, the album also saw her join forces with De La Soul and 2 Chainz, while Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj both featured on the lead single, "Bang Bang," which debuted at number one in the U.K. and became a Top Ten hit in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Bulgaria. Sweet Talker arrived in October 2014, reaching the Top Ten in the U.S. and U.K. Taking a break from music, she joined the cast of judges on television singing competition The Voice Australia. She returned in 2017 with the singles "Real Deal" and "Queen," which later appeared on her fourth LP, R.O.S.E.
Silver Lining
Jessie J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world where no one, no one understands
It's good to finally find someone, someone who can
You know me
Better than I know myself
Don't care what they say
Don't care what this world thinks
We got each other
And you show me
I don't need nothing else
Call me crazy
Call me a fool (ooh)
Call me crazy baby it's true
But I'm crazy 'bout you (crazy)
I'm crazy 'bout you (I'm crazy)
I can't help it (help it)
Ooh, nothing I can do
I'm crazy, crazy 'bout you (crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy)
And I love it 'cause I know you're crazy 'bout me too
When I lose my mind, when I'm a total mess
I stop as you still think I'm the best
And I love you even when you're a wreck
Call me crazy
Call me a fool (hey)
Call me crazy baby it's true
But I'm crazy bout you (I'm crazy)
I'm crazy bout you (I'm crazy)
You're my silver lining (you make the light)
You make the light come through
I'm crazy, crazy 'bout you (crazy 'bout you, crazy 'bout you)
(Crazy 'bout you, crazy 'bout you)
And I love it 'cause I know you're crazy 'bout me too
And when this world tries to tear us down
They never will
They'll never break us apart
They're saying crazy and hard
Call me crazy
Oh, yeah
Crazy 'bout you (I'm crazy)
I'm crazy 'bout you (I'm crazy)
I can't help it (baby)
Nothing I can do (nothing I can do)
I'm crazy, crazy bout you (yeah)
And I love it 'cause I know
But I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm crazy, I'm crazy 'bout you (I'm crazy, crazy, crazy 'bout you baby)
(Crazy, crazy, crazy 'bout you baby)
You're my silver lining (my silver lining)
You make the light come through
I'm crazy, crazy bout you (call me crazy, call me crazy)
And I love it 'cause I know you're crazy 'bout me too

Call me crazy
I may be considered insane
In a world where no one, no one understands
In a world where no one is able to comprehend me
It's good to finally find someone, someone who can
It is relieving to eventually come across someone who understands me
You know me
You have an accurate perception of who I am
Better than I know myself
You understand me more than I understand myself
Don't care what they say
I do not concern myself with outside opinions
Don't care what this world thinks
I am indifferent to the perspective of society
We got each other
We have each other's support
That's all we need
Our relationship is sufficient for our happiness
And you show me
You prove to me
I don't need nothing else
I do not require anything else

Jessie J is such an underrated artist!! She has such a powerful singing voice and deserves so much more recognition and hit songs under her belt. Too bad this song was a flop because it is such a great tune. I hope her next album becomes a major success and she gets the recognition and success she deserves! 🤗🤞👏❤️
