It’s just a feeling that the track gave me that you don’t get anymore. She’s the hip-hop head, so that’s one of things that I go to Missy for-for her to add that hip-hop element to my music, because I’m primarily R&B and I grew up listening to gospel, so when I go to her, she’ll kinda school me on the older artists from the ’90s and you know. “Holding You Down” samples a bunch of songs. and then you choose to write about it and I choose to write about it because I know that it’s other people going through the same thing that I went through. When I think back on things that have happened, it will come up again. Of course, I go through regular life and I live and I experience different things, good and bad, and it does help me, but I don’t think about writing or what I’m gonna do with whatever’s going on while I’m going through it. But the more that I sang and recorded, I kinda let go of all of that and I was like, “You know what? I can’t do that to myself.” I gotta just make my music and do me and, you know, hope people respond.
I was really, really nervous about whether people would like it and still think it’s hot, but I did that to myself, not so much the pressure other people put on me. For some reason, in the beginning of making this album, I gave myself a hard time. Jazmine Sullivan: I felt pressure within myself.
