Style and production

Labrinth wrote "Jealous" in Nashville, Tennessee with Josh Kear and Natalie Hemby,.[1][2] It was produced by Labrinth and arranged by Gustave Rudman. The song, described as a "heart-breaking ballad" by MTV, is addressed to one of Labrinth's parents, who left the family when he was four years old.[1][2] Speaking about the lyrical content of the song, Labrinth has offered the following explanation:

A lot of people have been through that experience. It’s kind of written from the perspective of how my family felt at the time, but I wanted to write it so anyone could dig into the song and relate to it to their own situation.[1][2]
