Jessie J on 'Bang Bang': 'It's an empowering song girls need to hear'

Songstress Jessie J has revealed that her collaborative single with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, 'Bang Bang', is an important song for women because it's empowering. 

Speaking to the Rolling Stone about the track, the superstar explained that it became a 'female anthem' and lyrically it shows off the fact that you should celebrate what makes you unique: "It kind of became this female anthem, like a girl band. Not a feature, but a moment where all of us can really show off what makes us us. And do it together."

She went onto add that young women need to hear messages like this as they promote self-worth and self-love:

"I only met them at the video shoot, but I looked at Nicki and myself and Ariana, all three of us look so different, and we're all equally confident. I was pointing at Nicki in the video, I was like, "she's got a booty like a Cadillac, but I can send you into overdrive!" I'm not going to rival what she has, but I've got what I've got. That's what I feel like young women, especially, need to hear. You have to love yourself, before anyone else can even come in. So for me, as a slim, tall-legs-no-boobs-no-bum kind of girl, I've got to represent."
