“PETTY” by JJONG is an R&B track filled with attitude that is sure to help you build your confidence and get you in a good mood. JJONG is a multifaceted artist that delivers smooth vocals, compelling production, and clever lyrics. With her new song “PETTY,” she lets go of her tendency to hold back on her thoughts and emotions. Instead, she lets it all out, putting her personality on full display without feeling the need to apologize for it. For anyone who sometimes feels like they diminish themselves in order to be liked, or to not cause problems, “PETTY” gives you permission to fully be yourself.
A clapping rhythm uses uniquely textured drum sounds to lay the backbone of the track. This steady beat carries you through the song as JJONG’s vocals twist and turn overtop of it. From rhythmic delivery to melodious singing, the main vocal offers many shifts in the performance that keep the energy fresh and the sonic journey captivating. Some moments are dry and intimate, while others are layered and atmosphere. This, combined with the interesting instrumentation and synth sounds weaving their way across the arrangement, give “PETTY” a dynamic song form that you can’t turn away from.
Lines like “burning bridges, cutting ties, I seen through your disguise” and “I can be petty too” show JJONG leaning into her freedom, and abandoning her need to please people that don’t respect her. She has decided to give the energy she gets, and if this means being petty, then so be it.
