Jhené Aiko Releases Emotive New Track “Triggered”

Jhené Aiko is triggered…

The 31-year-old part-Spanish and part-Dominican American singer has released her first musical offering of 2019 in the form of the emotive “Triggered” freestyle. 

A dark accompanying visual sees Aiko staring into the abyss while pouring her soul out around some rocky terrain. 

Aiko explained what kind of headspace she was in that led to the song’s creation on Twitterearlier this week. 

“One night I was so deep in my feelings, I was afraid of what I might do. I didn’t want to revert to the same bad habits that have set me back time and time again,” she wrote. “I realized that instead of running away from my emotions… I needed to sit with them, express myself and say whatever came to mind. It was healing to say the least… and now I feel a bit more free.”

Fans immedieately started to speculate that she was addressing her contentious breakup with ex-boyfriend Big Sean, especially since she specifically used the word “trigger” regarding Sean Don when sending him love under one of his IG posts last month.

“You are so special. To me. To the world. While we’re both still on this planet I just want to say… I love you beyond measure. Even tho I get big mad and u trigger the fuck out of me. U make me feel. And I appreciate that,” Aiko stated. “Because I thought I was dead inside. My ego has no say when it comes to you. And my heart has been broken a thousand times just to expand. It always finds room for you.”
