Jessie J has shared Channing Tatum's reaction to him being called out in her new album.
It was back in 2020 when Jessie J and Tatum went their separate ways after dating on and off for a period of two years, after reconciling following a previous separation in 2019.
"They cared enough about each other to try again but realized it was better to move on. It's totally amicable," a source close to the pair told PEOPLE back then.
Last week, the British singer released Don't Tease Me with a Good Time, her first album in years.

And one track in particular has already got people talking - a song called 'Threw It Away'.
In the lyrics, the 37-year-old seemingly alludes to a reason for their break-up five years ago.
They go: "I put my heart out on the table, that’s when it got uncomfortable. But oh that karma is gonna come one day, ’cause I gave you my love and you threw it away."
Jessie J - real name Jessica Ellen Cornish - also sings in the song: "Don’t you dare rewrite the story. I’m the beauty, you’re the beast."
I mean, that certainly says a lot.
Well, it appears Jessie J spoke to her ex-boyfriend before releasing the track to see if he was okay with it.
"I played him the song to see if he’s OK with it, and he was," she told The Guardian.
While they may have separated some five years ago, Jessie J still ranks her former partner - who last year called off his engagement to Zoë Kravitz - in high regard, describing him as 'such a sweet guy' in the interview.
"Oh, he’s so sweet. Oh my God, yeah! Channing is such a sweet guy. We were such good friends and had such a good time together," she added.
Jessie J's newest music release comes after her recent breast cancer diagnosis, which she opened up about over the summer.
She's already had one surgery, but needs to undergo a second procedure.
Speaking in August, the mom-of-one shared: "Some of you may know, some of you may not know, but I had breast cancer surgery 11 weeks ago today and the last show I did, I had no idea what was going to happen – and I’m still very much in the recovery process."
The singer continued: "I don’t know about you guys, but for me, music is a healer.
"Music is the thing that keeps me wanting to wake up in the morning and just makes me excited about life, and I’m grateful that I can make music that can give other people something that they might need on a hard day or a good day."
