Hey JealousyGin Blossoms
This song, which sings about regret, self-loathing, and jealousy, became Gin Blossoms’ biggest hit.
It was released as a single in 1993.
The lyrics, written by lead guitarist Doug Hopkins, were inspired by the depression he was facing and his attempts at self-medication.

An electro-pop song by the Norwegian artist Annie.
It was released in 2008.
The track was inspired by Prince’s 1986 funk song “Kiss.” It reached No.
10 on the Spanish charts.
No One ElseWeezer
A song that sings about the ideal and desire for “a girl who won’t smile at anyone else,” even while knowing she won’t live up to his expectations.
It’s a track from the American alternative rock band Weezer’s 1994 debut album, Weezer (commonly known as The Blue Album).
JealousFuture & Metro Boomin
This track, crafted by hip-hop’s powerhouse American duo Future and Metro Boomin, feels like peering into the abyss of jealousy.
Metro Boomin’s heavy, dark beat is a swamp named Possession, and over it Future’s disarmingly direct line—“I get jealous of you”—cuts straight to the listener’s core.
Intense love can sometimes bind not only the other person but oneself as well.
Surrender to this sweet, dangerous sound, and you’ll likely find your heart shaken by the irresistible allure and peril of jealousy.
JealousyJordan Ward & Joony
This is a collaboration track between Jordan Ward, an American artist with the unique background of being a former dancer, and Jony, who’s gaining recognition for his diverse musicality—two leading figures in the new-generation R&B scene! Taken from the EP “JRNY,” which portrays the complexity of a relationship shifting from friendship to romance, the song’s theme is precisely “jealousy.” With nuances like “I want to have you all to myself, but I can’t give you all of me,” it cuts to the very core where selfishness and true feelings collide in love.
The calm, melancholic beat further highlights these unbalanced emotions, making it feel heart-wrenching to listen.
Many listeners will likely find themselves unconsciously projecting their own experiences onto this painfully real inner conflict.
