The singer, who is about to release and (possibly?) tour behind new album Good to Know, posted the song on TikTok, adding new lines about coronavirus and quarantine. “I know you’re bored and want to fuck around,” she sings. “But not on me.” Later, she advises, “Keep exposure to a minimum.”

JoJo has also been offering support to those dealing with anxiety right now, and shouting out petitions for rent freezes.
