Last year, Korean soloist JAMIE, who was featured on the remix of Saweetie and Doja Cat's hit single Best Friend, released her debut English single "Pity Party."
The impressive track has already amassed over 3 million views on YouTube. We can't get the song out of our heads, and neither will you once you give it a listen. We were so excited to speak with JAMIE about her new single and its music video.
Sweety High: What statement does "Pity Party" make? How would you like it to be interpreted?
JAMIE: "Pity Party" is a song that everyone can enjoy and a song that tells there's no more going down, so it's the only way up.
SH: What side of you does "Pity Party" show that fans haven't seen before?
JAMIE: I did a choreography, dance basically. It was more like a pop song with an idol theme mixed.
