“Jealousy” was the third single from Liz’s second album, Whip-Smart, but it never received a physical release outside of a promotional single that was submitted to radio stations.
The buzz for Whip-Smart had started to dwindle around this time making it difficult for the album to maintain momentum, therefore making “Jealousy” the final single for the album.
“Jealousy” was ultimately featured as the first track on Liz’s first EP, Juvenilia, which was released later that summer.
The jealousy theme is about my imagination of what’s going on, which is far more outrageous than what’s actually going on. That feeling of “He’s so great, he’s got a million-dollar car,” when really it’s probably something like $5,700. With a trade-in.
