Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Aaliyah (feat. Jessie Ware). By Songfacts®.

This dancefloor psychodrama is titled after the late R&B singer who was killed in an aeroplane crash in the Bahamas in 2001. It is a Dolly Parton referencing study of a jealous Jolene-type rival re-imagined in a night club. Katy explained to The Sun: "I had this idea of a song set in a club and a song by Aaliyah was on my iPod so I thought, 'Perfect.'"

The song originally appeared on Katy's 2012 download-only Danger EP.

This features Katy B's fellow South Londoner Jessie Ware. Katy told The Sun: "I texted Jessie not knowing if she would be up for it or not I'm so glad she agreed. I'm a real fan. She's a no-nonsense type of girl and I think it worked out so well."
