The record company went bankrupt before she released an album but the talented 'Jessie J' (qv) didn't give up!

Her biggest songwriting hit was _Miley Cyrus: Party in the USA (2009)_ (qv). Her debut single 'Jessie J' (qv): Do It Like a Dude (2010) was written for 'Rihanna' (qv), but she decided to keep it for herself which went to number 2 on the charts, and her number 1 hit single 'Jessie J' (qv) Feat. B.O.B: Price Tag (2011) with 'B.o.B.' (qv) came out in the UK on February 28, 2011::Sam013024
