"Masterpiece" is song recorded by English singer Jessie J released as the third single from her third studio album, Sweet Talker (2014). The song was written and produced by Josh Alexander and was co-written by Britt Burton and Emily Warren, the latter of whom also co-wrote the album's opening track "Ain't Been Done". "Masterpiece" was released to iTunes on 7 October 2014, alongside "Ain't Been Done", as the second and third promotional singles off Sweet Talker, respectively.[1] It was released to US radio January 13, 2015 as the third international single and fourth from the album overall,[2] while its music video premiered December 10, 2014.[3]
It received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who applauded the song's anthemic nature but others criticized it for being too generic.[4][5] Even before being promoted as an official single, "Masterpiece" entered the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 at number 82 for the week of October 25, 2014. It later charted in the top 10 in European territories following its official release.
