Christina Perri is an American singer-songwriter who rose to prominence after transitioning from working as a waitress to becoming a successful musician. Known for writing deeply personal songs, Perri often draws from real-life experiences, particularly her romantic relationships, to craft emotionally resonant music. Despite facing emotional challenges in her personal life—starting with difficult relationships from the age of 15 to 21—she channeled this pain into her songwriting rather than letting it derail her career. Her debut single, "Jar of Hearts," became a major hit, earning platinum status and spending 31 weeks in the Billboard Top 40.
Following the success of her first single, Perri released her debut album, Lovestrong, at the age of 24. During the creation of this album, she was in a relationship with musician John Anderson. Songs like "Penguin" reflected her feelings at the time, offering a glimpse into her emotional world. The album also featured tracks inspired by both past romantic experiences and her brief marriage to an L.A.-based video producer. Perri married at age 21 but divorced just a year later, experiences that continued to influence her artistic expression.
Perri’s second studio album, Head or Heart, marked a shift in thematic focus—from love and heartbreak to broader concepts of human existence. While it still touched upon emotional themes, it also explored deeper philosophical questions. Songs such as "Human" exemplify this evolution in her musical style. Although "Penguin" was about her relationship with Anderson, the pair separated in 2014. Anderson had also played guitar for Perri’s performances, but they eventually went their separate ways personally and professionally.
