While on her current London tour in the U.K., singer Jessie J revealed for the first time publicly her issues with fertility.

Jessie spoke on the meaning of her song “Four Letter Word” while on stage, as she revealed to the public her personal life. Stating that “Four years ago, I was told that I couldn’t have children, and it’s OK, I’m going to have children, trust me. When the doctor told me, my reaction was, ‘Oh hell noooooooooo,'” Jessie sang as fans cheered and applauded her.  “I don’t tell you guys for sympathy, because I’m one of millions of women and men that have gone through this and will go through this,” she told the crowd at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Jessie continues to say why she wrote this song. “It can’t be something that defines us. I wanted to write this song for myself in my moment of pain and sadness but also to give myself joy, to give other people something that they can listen to in that moment when it gets really hard.”
