Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Who You Are. By Songfacts®.

This song by British singer-songwriter Jessie Cornish, who performs under the name of Jessie J, was used in the third installment of the Step Up series, Step Up 3D.

Cornish explained the song's meaning during an intimate show at The Sofitel's Stone Rose on November 2, 2010. She revealed, "I kind of lost myself. It's very personal. It's about being true to yourself. Don't lose yourself in any situation you're put in, and do the dew."

Cornish wrote this self-help ballad at the end of a lonely three-month trip to Los Angeles when she was 20. Having been shunted from studio to studio with various producers she was ready to pack it all in. She told The Independent December 10, 2010: "I'm very much someone that lives to be happy. It's not just about the parties and I know so-and-so – I'm not that girl. So I looked in the mirror and started to cry and said 'who am I?' Music is my therapy."
