Jason Derulo Admits He Feels Industry Pressure To Marry Long-Term Girlfriend, Jordin Sparks

(laughs) I’m suppose to get a hall pass right? Nah it don’t work like that.

I would say in America she’s more famous but I’d say worldwide, me. I mean she was the American Idol, and not just any American Idol, she is someone who still stays relevant so she’s like a different kind of American Idol so she’s really popular.

I can tell ya’ll, every single one of them didn’t take their normal rate. Everybody said ‘Yo I really want to be apart of this record, let’s do this’ . To keep it a hundred though, all of those are going to be singles.

I wrote Marry Me for Jordin actually and basically what I was saying in the song is that we got forever, why are we rushing. We get a lot of industry pressure and I don’t want her to feel no kind of way so I wrote this song just for her to a piano. Saying that I swear that I’ll mean it when I say it ‘Will you marry me’ that’ll be an amazing day when I actually say it to you. She was like the world needs to hear this song and I was like ‘Nah, I ain’t about to play this for the world, what you talking about, this is for you.’ Then she was like play it for some people and then I was like ‘OK yeah lets release it.’
