Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Saddest Vanilla (feat. Emeli Sandé)” by Jess Glynne
“Saddest Vanilla” is a haunting ballad from Jess Glynne featuring Emeli Sandé, released in 2015. The song expresses the pain of a difficult relationship, seen through the analogy of the flavor vanilla. Vanilla, in this case, symbolizes the dull aspects of a relationship, but also conveys bittersweet emotions. The narrator reflects on happier moments with their partner, but can’t shake the feeling of overwhelming sadness as they contemplate the end of the relationship. Glynne and Sandé’s combined vocals create a melancholic atmosphere, as they lament the bittersweetness of the present situation. The song encourages listeners to feel, appreciate, and eventually move on from their pain – as vanilla, though sometimes sad, is still sweet.
