"Jessica" hands the mic to Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, one of the long list of guests Major Lazer rounded up for Free the Universe, their second album, which arrived in April 2013. Koenig sings it and shares the writing credit with Carl Dawkins and Thomas Wesley, Major Lazer produced it, and Rich Costey mixed it.

The album followed the 2009 debut Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do, and Koenig had plenty of company on it: Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors, Santigold, Peaches, Tyga, Flux Pavilion, Bruno Mars, Wyclef Jean and Shaggy all turn up somewhere along the way.
