Jason Derulo: 'There's so much outside pressure for me to propose to Jordin Sparks'

'Talk Dirty' hitmaker Jason Derulo has revealed that he's feeling the pressure from those around him to pop the all-important question to songstress Jordin Sparks, and it inspired him to write a song called 'Marry Me'. 

The track's lyrics explain that there's no rush for them to get married, but he told MTV News that people misinterpreted it and thought he was proposing because in the chorus he sings, "I'll say, 'Will you marry me?'
I swear that I will mean it":

"I was just trying to explain that we have forever, so what's the rush. There is a lot of pressure, and there was a lot of pressure before the song. I wrote the song because of the pressure and then I made the pressure worse because people just listen to the chorus and all they hear is 'Will you marry me?' so they're like 'Oh you're proposing' I'm like 'No.' In the song I'm saying when the time is right, I'm saying we have the rest of our lives. So the perfect time is on its way."

Derulo recently told Access Hollywood that he's not letting pressure or speculation control his relationship and is just waiting for the 'stars to align' where taking the next step in their relationship is concerned:

"We're not engaged yet, not yet. When the time is right and the stars are aligned perfectly [I'll propose]. I always have to tell myself to not allow [speculation] to interfere in the beauty that we have, and I hope that she knows that as well."
