JESSIA IS BACK AND SHE’S NOT HOLDING ANYTHING BACK — With her latest single, “Therapy & Yoga,” the rising pop powerhouse delivers a radiant and undeniably empowering track that’s destined to become the soundtrack of every glow-up journey this summer.
Opening with a groove-laced beat and glittering synths, “Therapy & Yoga” wastes no time pulling listeners into its irresistibly upbeat world. It's the kind of song that makes you want to dance in your bedroom mirror, walk a little taller, and leave that “gas money guy” firmly in the rearview. JESSIA’s voice, confident, expressive and refreshingly unfiltered, glides effortlessly over the production, delivering each lyric with a wink and a winked goodbye to toxic situationships.
“Therapy & Yoga” is an anthem of growth and self-respect. It’s about learning to set boundaries, taking your power back, and realising that healing doesn’t have to be heavy. Sometimes, it’s loud, joyful, and set to a beat you can’t get out of your head. “This one’s for all the glow-up girlies who decided to choose themselves this summer,” JESSIA shares, and you can feel that intention in every sparkling second.
What makes JESSIA so compelling, and what “Therapy & Yoga” captures so effortlessly, is her ability to balance emotional authenticity with undeniable pop appeal. She doesn’t sugarcoat the messiness of emotions; she transforms them into anthems. Since her 2021 viral breakout with “I’m Not Pretty,” she’s proven time and again that she’s not interested in perfection; she’s interested in truth. Whether it’s self-doubt, heartbreak or healing, JESSIA meets it head-on with lyrics that cut to the core and melodies that stick around long after the song ends.

This single arrives on the heels of a landmark year for the Vancouver-born, LA-based artist. In 2024, JESSIA completed her first North American headline tour and released her sophomore EP, Okay With Every Part, completely independently.
“Therapy & Yoga” is as infectious as it is intentional. The production sparkles with modern pop polish, layered harmonies, punchy drums, and a groove that practically demands a strut. But it’s JESSIA’s lyrical wit and vocal charisma that elevate the track.
And that’s perhaps the most exciting part of this release: JESSIA is building a community with her resonating releases. A space for all the overthinkers, the boundary-setters, the late bloomers and the day-one believers. A space where healing is cool, empowerment is loud, and joy is a radical act. With “Therapy & Yoga,” she proves that self-love doesn’t have to be quiet or reserved. It can be loud, sparkly and played on repeat.
JESSIA’s evolution as an artist is nothing short of inspiring. With over 500 million streams to her name, a Breakthrough Artist Juno Award, and co-signs from major acts like OneRepublic (whom she toured with in Asia), she’s already carved out an impressive space for herself in the pop world. But what sets her apart is her fearlessness, not just in sound, but in spirit. That authenticity is magnetic, and it’s what makes this release feel like a self-love anthem. So, whether you’re fresh off a breakup, setting firmer boundaries, or simply choosing yourself a little louder these days, let “Therapy & Yoga” be your anthem. Roll the windows down, turn the volume up, and let JESSIA remind you that the best revenge isn’t anger, it’s thriving.
