Jessica Sanchez Debuts New Song 'Fairytale' (Music and Lyrics)

American Idol runner-up Jessica Sanchez recently gave us a glimpse of her new song Fairytale which will be included in her upcoming debut album slated to be released in October.

The song was unveiled on the “American Idol iHeartRadio” show in New York City last August 29 (morning of August 30 in Manila). On that event, Jessica thanked her fans and announced that she got signed with Interscope records.

“I just want to announce and say that after the show I got signed with Interscope Records. I’ve been working on my album,” she said.

While many expected that the songs in the album will be more of the urban and R&B vibe, Fairytale was more of a pop song which somehow disappoints some netizens. Other fans, however said that we should just wait for the full album to be released before commenting.

Here's Jessica Sanchez performing Fairytale in the said event (lyrics below).

Fairytale by Jessica Sanchez Lyrics

I'm kinda jealous, I'm kinda mad
I'm kinda poutin', I'm kinda sad
Girl, where'd you get him?
He's such a find
You hit the jackpot, one of a kind

Do we got a brother, or maybe just another one like him
Do we got a homie, you can introduce me to?
Just like him

I'm kinda jealous that your boyfriend
Seems like a fairytale, like a fairytale
He's hella perfect, hella cute, hella fun
Like a fairytale, like a fairytale.
Did he come to your rescue?
Did he win the fight?
Did he slay the dragon?
Did you run off in the night?

So, I can't stop starin'
I'm still in shock
How did you find him?
He's smokin' hot
Must still pay cupid
More than a lot
To go searching all around the clock for him

Do we got a brother, or maybe just another one like him
Do we got a homie, you can introduce me to?
Just like him

I'm kinda jealous that your boyfriend
Seems like a fairytale, like a fairytale
He's hella perfect, hella cute, hella fun
Like a fairytale, like a fairytale.
Did he come to your rescue?
Did he win the fight?
Did he slay the dragon?
Did you run off in the night?

I don't mean to be jealous,
I don't mean to be mad
In fact I'm rather happy,
In fact I'm rather glad that I know
That cupid is on the road
And that he's gonna find mine
(WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!)

Yeahhhhhhh, Yeeeeeeeeeaaah he hey.
Did he come to your rescue?
Did he win the fight?
Did he slay the dragon?
Did you run off in the night?

The album takes us back to some of her memorable and brilliant performances in the reality television singing competition, American Idol. It features five unique tracks including Jessica’s breathtaking and nostalgic rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”, her sultry cover of Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams” and her soulful version of Jazmine Sullivan’s “Stuttering”. It also includes the duet “I Knew You Were Waiting for Me” --- a powerful collaboration with fellow AI finalist Joshua Ledet plus Jessica’s anthemic finale song, “Change Nothing”, which is also the lead track of this amazing EP. 

Jessica Sanchez was the runner-up on the eleventh season of the reality singing show, American Idol. She is the first female and fourth recipient of the judges' ‘save’. At the same time, she is also the first recipient of the save to reach the finale. Prior to appearing on American Idol, Sanchez competed in the first season of America's Got Talent at the age of 11. She has a worldwide fanbase known as the “BluJays”. 

The album is simply going to be just the beginning of an incredible musical journey for this promising Filipino-American artist. That said, it is a must-have and collector’s item for all BluJays and American Idol fans alike.
