The Untold Truth Of Jason Derulo

Publish date: 2024-05-07

Jason Derulo used the traumatic setback to spark a new beginning. By temporarily leaving the limelight, he had the ability to reflect and forge a new path, his manager, 23 Management CEO Frank Harris, told Billboard. "He got the chance to spend time evaluating where he was, where he wanted to go and the best way to get there," Harris said. "We let him be who he was: a more mature, sexier, edgier Jason Derulo. That's when things started to turn the corner in terms of perception."

By September 2012, Derulo was ready to roll out his next album, "Tattoos." The track list featured more rowdy, upbeat tracks like "Talk Dirty," which helped him cross over from pop to R&B/hip-hop, as well. "All those party songs ... stemmed from my accident," Derulo explained to The Guardian. "I could have died. The injury made me realize that life is short, man. You have to live life to the fullest, and all of those songs are about enjoying life."

However, for his fourth album, 2015's "Everything is 4," Derulo dug a little deeper. "There are four legs on a chair, four legs on a table, so it's about having a strong foundation," he said. "There's also four seasons, which represents accepting change and moving forward. Also, it means everything is for a reason. Everything is for my mom, everything is for my family, everything is for my fans. It represents completion."

With a refreshed sense of self, Derulo was now ready to "pounce" onto the next phase of his career.
