De Britse Jessica Ellen Cornish deed in 2008 kortstondig werk als achtergrondzangeres bij Cyndi Lauper. Later gaat ze nummers schrijven voor Rihanna, Alicia Keys en Miley Cyrus.

In 2010 verschijnt Do It Like A Dude als haar eerste solo-single, waarmee ze de tipparade bereikt. De opvolger, Price Tag (samen met B.o.b.), wordt haar grote doorbraak en komt tot de tweede positie. In datzelfde jaar worden ook Nobody’s Perfect en Domino hits in de lijst.

In het najaar van 2013 verschijnt haar tweede album, Alive. Een jaar later vormt ze met Ariana Grande en Nicki Minaj een trio waarmee ze de single Bang Bang opneemt.

Flashlight komt in juni van 2015 in de Tipparade en is afkomstig van de soundtrack bij Pitch Perfect 2.


Songtekst

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found
Lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along
I sing along
And I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night

Kickstart my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night

Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
You're my flashlight

I see the shadows long
Beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid
When the rain won't stop
Cause you light the way
You light the way
You light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night

Kickstart my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night

Light, light, light
You're my flashlight, light, light
You're my flashlight, light, light, light, light
You're my flashlight
You're my flash... (Light)

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night

Kickstart my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight (You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night

Cause you're my flashlight
Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight

You're my flashlight, light, light
You're my flashlight, light, light, yeah

You're my flashlight
