"Hush Hush" is a song by American recording artist Alexis Jordan, taken from her self-titled debut album (2011). It was released as the album's third and final single on June 10, 2011. The dance-pop song was written by Autumn Rowe, Stargate and Sandy Vee. Alexis called the song "feisty" and that it was a song that "unleashes a fiery side of her personality".

Background

[edit]

Speaking in May 2011 to urban writer Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul, Jordan described the lyrical background to the song: "It's really dealing with the situation where - if you've been hurt, or someone's treated you wrong or cheated on you in a relationship - you're basically saying 'Be quiet! I don't wanna hear it! I'm gonna move ON!'... So what I particularly liked about the song is that it's a very powerful statement for anybody who's been in that kind of situation."[1]

Production

[edit]

"Hush Hush" is written by Autumn Rowe, StarGate and Sandy Vee, and it was produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee.[2] When premiering the song with Digital Spy, Jordan discussed the song. "The thing I love about this track is that it has a dance beat that is irresistible. You can't not dance to it! It's also quite fierce and feisty, but in a fun and positive way."[3] Discussing the recording process of the record, she insisted: "It was a very calm and fun process. I was always in the studio smiling! It was something that I felt so blessed to be doing - it never felt like a chore. I am thankful to the whole team around me though, we mesh very well together."[3]

Reception
