Keke Palmer Releases Vulnerable Breakup Single 'My Confession'

Keke Palmer released a deeply personal single titled "My Confession" on May 9, 2025, addressing her highly publicized breakup with Darius Jackson and the viral moment at an Usher concert in Las Vegas that sparked widespread discussion. The song reveals that Palmer and Jackson had already ended their relationship prior to the concert, countering public perception and Jackson's critical social media response to her outfit that night. Co-written with Tayla Parx, the track is described by Palmer as a raw and emotional expression of buried feelings, offering her peace and clarity without aiming for perfection. "My Confession" samples Usher's 2004 hit "Confessions Part II," adding an autobiographical twist to the theme of personal truth and closure. This single is the second release from her forthcoming album "JUST KEKE," which Palmer calls an evolution of her personal and artistic growth, created with her longtime friend Tayla Parx. The song and album mark a new era for Palmer, emphasizing honesty, vulnerability, and self-integration.
