Jordin Sparks is one angry lady these days. It’s just one of the feelings you take away when you listen to the lead single off her brand-new mixtape #ByeFelicia, where she totally goes ham and disses her ex Jason Derulo.
“How Bout Now” (remix) leads the project, which was released Tuesday, Nov. 25, and is actually a Drake track that the former Season 6 American Idol champ revamped to put her own anti-boyfriend spin on. It’s a little more than three minutes long and gives insight as to how the newly single Jordin feels about her R&B-singing ex-flame.
Over the slow and grinding beat, Sparks ditches her pop powerhouse vocals for something a little more Nicki Minaj. “Remember I deleted all my other guys’ numbers out my phone for ya? / Remember when you broke your neck and I had to wash your back for ya?” she sings with some rough Aaliyah inflections. “You probably don’t remember half of the shit that I did for ya.”

In addition to specifically citing Derulo’s life-changing neck injury in 2012, Sparks also implies that the singer got a little too big for his own good. “Then, once you blew up, head got big and you started changing,” she sings. “Can’t believe all the things that you started saying. Like I’m with you for your fame and your name. (What?)”
Sparks’ remix of “How Bout Now” isn’t really particularly catchy, but it’s clear that this track was created with one intention and one intention only: She was ready to call out Jason. Peep the lyrics in their entirety below. Even though Sparks and Derulo were together for three years, the duo shocked fans when they announced their split earlier this year. Derulo was reportedly feeling pressure from Sparks to put a ring on it.
#ByeFelicia also features additional songs like “Gasoline,” “They Don’t Give” and “Double Tap” featuring 2Chainz.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Feeling like I got to get all this off my chest
I know you sitting there thinking “What she going do next?”
Crazy thinking back to the last text that you sent
Crazy like all these bitches, crazy like all these bitches
Remember I deleted all my other guys’ numbers out my phone for ya?
Remember when you broke your neck and I had to wash your back for you? Ugh
You probably don’t remember half the shit that I did for you (Yeah)
Chorus:
You didn’t really f*** with me way back then, but how bout now?
‘Cause I’m up right now and you suck right now
You thought you had it all figured it out but, boy, how bout now?
‘Cause I’m up right now and you suck right now
You thought that the little love you put in was enough, but how bout now?
Boy, how bout now?
How bout now?
How bout now?
What about now, boy?
How bout now?
Verse 2:
Always been mommy’s little angel
Then, once you blew up, head got big and you started changing (What?)
Can’t believe all the things that you started saying
Like I’m with you for your fame and your name (What?)
That thought and your feature now setting up the game (What?)
She’s dying to be is the famous
Asking for the things that you gave me
Try to lock you in with a baby (Ooh!)
Keeping it real, but no, I’m not acting shady
Blowing my phone, calling complaining, boy, you tried to once but heard
Chorus
You didn’t really f*** with me way back then, but how bout now?
‘Cause I’m up right now and you suck right now
You thought you had it all figured it out but, boy, how bout now?
‘Cause I’m up right now and you suck right now
You thought that the little love you put in was enough, but how bout now?
Boy, how bout now?
How bout now?
How bout now?
What about now, boy?
How bout now?
