Fresh Off Her First Headline Tour, JESSIA Drops Boundary-Setting Single ‘Therapy & Yoga’
Glitter snaps off the mirrorball as Canadian pop firebrand JESSIA releases “Therapy & Yoga,” a strut-ready decree of self-prioritization. Fresh from her first North American headline run, she pivots with poise: this is dance-pop as boundary-setting, cardio for the soul. Rubberized bass, crisp handclaps, and chrome-bright synths scaffold a hook that lands like friendly confetti; the groove insists on daylight, even when the subject matter glances at emotional wreckage.
Lyrically, JESSIA keeps the camera locked on the exit. She isn’t pleading; she’s packing. The refrain’s mantra—therapy, yoga, forget-you energy—compresses the arc from hurt to autonomy into three buoyant syllables per beat. There’s sly comic shrapnel, too, in the portrait of the ex who needed gas money and validation; the song files the receipt, then runs the whole relationship through the shredder. Vocally, she floats between satin and steel, phrasing with a dancer’s economy while letting micro-grit roughen the edges where catharsis requires abrasion.
Objectively, “Therapy & Yoga” triumphs because the proportions are right: lean writing, maximal payoff. The bridge cools the room just long enough for the last chorus to detonate with clean satisfaction. Call it thriving’s sound design—no revenge fantasy, just forward motion. With over 500 million streams behind her, JESSIA knows how to engineer an earworm; here she welds that craft to radiant independence.
Listeners will feel their posture rise, their gait sharpen, their day reorganize around possibility. By the outro, you’re not checking your phone—you’re choosing yourself and walking faster. File it under glow-up anthems that double as morning espresso.
A campfire flickers on the prairie while the city votes to forget—rrunnerrss, the eponymous debut by the Austin-born band rrunnerrss led by award-winning songwriter and composer Michael Zapruder, arrives as both shelter and flare…
