La Roux singer Elly Jackson says she struggled with the success of “Bulletproof”, her 2009 hit, because its confident lyrics did not reflect how she felt at the time.
“I was in love with my best friend. I was incredibly insecure. I didn’t understand my sexuality. I felt like a fraud when I sang it. I wasn’t bulletproof at all,” Jackson told *Sunday Times Style*, in comments reported by Nieuws.nl. “I’m only just becoming a bit bulletproof now, I think.”
Jackson, 38, said she now feels more confident and “freer than ever”, as if she were starting again from a happier place.
