The 'It's My Party' star also told the publication that she doesn't necessarily look back upon life mistakes as a bad thing.
She added: ''I've always found singing songs that I've 'lived' makes more sense to me, which is why I and make my life as exciting as I can. Mistakes make great songs, so there's always an excuse to make one.''
Jessie will release 'Alive' on 23rd September and has also teamed up with Robin Thicke for a track on DJ Cassidy's new album.
