In 2013, Jessie J worked with Kelly and Joshua "Ammo" Coleman and co-wrote "Wild", an urban song, which features the rappers Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal. The song served as the lead single from her second studio album Alive (2013), described by Digital Spy critic Lewis Corner as "an accomplished pop record. She teamed-up with StarGate and co-wrote three songs for the album, "Thunder", "Breathe" and "Unite"; the latter two were also co-penned by Sia. She has also collaborated with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins that resulted with co-writing the title track of the album. In 2014, she co-penned and provided vocals on "Calling All Hearts", a collaboration with DJ Cassidy and American singer Robin Thicke.

The pop-soul song was co-written by Martin, Savan Kotecha, Rickard Göransson together with Minaj and served as the lead single from Jessie J's third studio album Sweet Talker (2014). Additionally, the R&B-influenced record, features tracks written by Diplo ("Sweet Talker"), as well as, Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart ("Loud"). The song "Burnin' Up" features rapper 2 Chainz, while on "Masterpiece" she sings about "self-empowerment", a lyrical theme occasionally discussed on Who You Are.
