Head Space, her debut EP, is a collection of songs written in the summer of 2011, as she developed her skills on the guitar and as a songwriter. The songs, inspired by the feelings for a special person, touch on love and relationships through unfamiliar eyes, and through their simple approach represent the starting point of a creative journey for a girl from Leicester. Head Space is a testament to Mahalia’s beautiful, distinctive voice and unpretentious lyricism; a series of songs that are authentic and emotional.

In the opening verse of Rico Nasty's song "Jealous" featuring Mahalia, she talks about living her best life and being proud of it. She mentions being from the Southside and enjoying the summer on the Westside. Rico asserts that she is not one to be messed with, and she rocks designer clothing and a Patek watch. Rico doesn't want anyone to touch her or show her sympathy because she's been successful self-made with her girls beside her. Basically, she's living life on her own terms and doesn't need anyone to validate her or help her achieve her goals.
In the next verse, Rico asks whether someone is jealous of her or not. She tells them that they have to pay to see her because she and her girls don't do anything for free. They're always getting into all kinds of shenanigans and having a great time doing it. Rico doesn't play games, and if you don't have the heart to keep up with her, she doesn't want to hear it. In the chorus, Rico repeats that she's been bad from when she was a baby, and nobody can play her. She's a force to be reckoned with, and she's confident in herself and her abilities.
One interesting fact about the song "Jealous" is that it's one of the tracks on Rico Nasty's debut album "Nightmare Vacation," which was released on December 4, 2020. Rico Nasty released snippets of the song back in May of that year, and it quickly became one of her most anticipated songs.
Another interesting fact about "Jealous" is that it features British R&B singer Mahalia. Rico and Mahalia had never worked together before, but Rico reportedly slid into Mahalia's DMs to ask her to jump on the track.
Rico Nasty has said that the song was inspired by her own life experiences, and it's meant to empower listeners to stand up for themselves and be confident in their abilities.
Another fun fact about the song is that Rico Nasty collaborated with popular fashion brand PrettyLittleThing to create a music video for "Jealous." The video features Rico and her girls in a car, driving around and having fun while wearing the brand's clothing.
Interestingly enough, Rico Nasty has said that she was initially worried about collaborating with Mahalia because she didn't know if their styles would mesh well together. However, after hearing Mahalia's vocals on the song, she knew that they were a perfect match.
"Jealous" was produced by Take A Daytrip, who have worked with artists like Lil Nas X, YBN Cordae, and Juice WRLD.
The song features a sample of "My Type" by California rapper Saweetie.
Despite the sassy, self-assured vibe of the song, Rico Nasty has said that she wrote "Jealous" during a tough time in her life when she was feeling overwhelmed and in need of some empowerment.
Sadly, the chords for "Jealous" are not readily available online.
