Jessie J’s upcoming album Sweet Talker is set for release next week on Oct. 13, but today the British pop superstar has shared not just one, but two new songs from the album. “Ain’t Been Done” is the album’s opening track, kicking things off with a monster beat and a bright chorus that sounds like Natasha Bedingfield, while “Masterpiece” is a relatively subdued (emphasis on “relatively”) ballad based around piano, electronic beats, and an urgent string section.

Sweet Talker will be Jessie J’s third studio album, her first since 2013’s Alive. The album has already spawned two singles: the smash hit “Bang Bang” featuring Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, and “Burning Up” featuring 2 Chainz, whose music video is set to premiere tomorrow, Oct. 8.
To celebrate the album’s release, Jessie will be performing two US shows in the next week: Oct. 9 at New York’s Gramercy Theatre, and Oct. 14 at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre. No tour dates have yet been announced.
You can check out the lyrics for both songs right here:
“Ain’t Been Done”
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
Can't beat me I'm a show sharp winner
One of a kind, I'm original
I'm so ill, I'm gonna need a painkiller
Stealing the show like a criminal
Don't fight for the non-believers
Give a little and you might get some
This one's for the non-believers
All together now everyone, go!
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
On top only just begun
Better believe I'll be your number one
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
And I hope you're holding on
Cause' I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
Both hands tied and I get gold medals
Still alive and I'm going hard
Make my mark and I'm breaking all records
You know me, I'm a superstar
Don't fight for the non-believers
Give a little and you might get some
This one's for the non-believers
All together now everyone, go!
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
On top only just begun
Better believe I'll be your number one
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
And I hope you're holding on
Cause' I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
I'm a do it like it ain't been done
“Masterpiece”
So much pressure
Why so loud?
If you don't like my sound
You can turn it down
I gotta go
And I'm walking alone
Uphill battle
I look good when I got it
I'm ferocious but cautious
I get doses... not gonna stop
I like the view from the top
They talk that blah blah
That blah blah, that blah blah s**t
And I'm so done, I'm so over it
Sometimes I mess up, I eff up, I hit and miss
But I'm okay, I'm cool with this
I still fall on my face sometimes
And I can't color inside the lines
Cause I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece
And I, I wanna hang with the greatest
Got a way to go, but it's worth the wait
No, you haven't seen the best of me
I'm still working on my masterpiece
Don't mind, don't mind
Those who matter, don't mind
If you don't catch what I'm throwing
Then I leave you behind
Don't need a flash
And I am leaving like that
They talk that blah blah
That blah blah, that blah blah s**t
Go with the punches, and take the hits
Sometimes I mess up, I eff up, I swing and miss
But it's okay, I'm cool with this
I still fall on my face sometimes
And I can't color inside the lines
Cause I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece
And I, I wanna hang with the greatest
Got a way to go, but it's worth the wait
No, you haven't seen the best of me
I'm still working on my masterpiece
