Jason Derulo break-up sparks creativity

Billboard ​caught ​up with Jason Derulo - who recently broke up with longtime girlfriend Jordan Sparks - to talk about his most recent hit and how his break-up is affecting his songwriting.

When asked about using his breakup with Sparks for inspiration for new music, Derulo admitted:

"Oh, 100 percent. I'm somebody who cannot keep those two things separate. Like, I have to put it on paper, put it on wax, put it in my songs. I cannot separate the two. My creativity, my personality won't allow me to separate the two. If that's what's going on in my life, that's in the songs I make as well. It's definitely a piece of that.​"
